New Soviet Film
Nearing Completion

The newest Sovie film "Ten Days
That Moved the World" The
history of the 1917 Revolution and
which is now nearing completion in
Leningrad, is causing much comment
among those who have been privileged
to witness the filming. M. Eisen-
stein, the director who was respon-
sible for the "Potemkin" film, and
who is directing this one has ex-
pressed the opinion that "Ten Days.
is work of infinitely higher stand
ing. This film, which will be released
on the tenth anniversary of the
storming of the Winter Palace in
October, 1917, will be historically ac-
curate down to the most insignificant
detail. Men have been found, in a
search throughout Russia, who re-
semble Lenin, Kerenski, and the other
figures of the October revolution, so
exactly as to be their living images
when dressed for the part.
In street scenes the various party
committees have been called upon to
provide exact details of where the
various divisions of soldiers, sailors,
and working men were stationed. The
identical cruiser Aurora, that fired
upon the city, was towed up the
II eva, and bombarded Leningrad in
The same way as Petrograd was bonn
berded, the only difference being that
tbs time blank cartridges were used.
Esenstein's methods are so realis
tic that the days were spent in the
various Soviet bureaus of Leningrad
collecting scraps of paper and pieces
of chalk of the kind which witnesses
declare to have strewn the floors of
the Smolna Institute when the new
Government moved into it.

Every worker ought to have a
term in the Workhouse," said Sam
Broad, one of the five furriers re-
leased yesterday on $1,000 bail each
when they won their appeal for a
re-trial in the supreme court-"for it
will make them more revolutionary
when they get out" He then pro-
ceeded to tell of the cruelty, corrup-
ton and viciousness which prevail at
the workhouse, under which innocent
victims of labor-hating judge are
forced to work out their excessive SEN
fences.
The prisoners, Max Shusterman
and Ethel sShusterman, Ida Ishman,
Sam Broad and Frank Jeane are the
famous five who were given 6 months
Tor having disturbed the august court
when, outraged at the vicious SEN
fences given their fellow picketers,
they expressed indignation and hor-
ror. One of the prisoners, a boy of
IS was brought up on three charges,
one for smiling, one for making
face at the judge and the third for
having booed!
Put to work in the dump yards on
Welfare Island, the prisoners were
beaten and prosecuted on the slightest
provocation. Sam Broad tells how,
unaccustomed to walking along the
uneven ground Of the dump yard,
where the buried refuse makes
mounds and cavities in the earth, he
fell. Whereupon his guard threaten
ed to break his neck if he did it again.
Tho there are plenty of BARRIERS on
the island, the boys were given but
