"Potemkin" is a thinly fic-
tionized story of far-reaching
episode in Russian history-the
mutiny Of the crew of the
cruiser Potemkin, which spread
its seed through the population
OF Odessa and, finally, to a
large section of the Russian
fleet.
The picture is as grim. as
graphic and "un-actor-like'' as
news reel. 1t runs riot in de-
picting types of the Russian
herd, which suffered under the
Czaristic regime of the early
twentieth century. Both the
mob and individual types are
selected with the genius that
distinguishes the Russian the
ater. A truer representative of
governing stupidity than the
puny ships physician, who re-
fuses to condemn the rotten
food, couldn't have been picked.
He is meant to epitomiZe op-
preston and intolerance and.
particularly, the frailty of the
strongest empires which repose
authority in incompetents. When
this gent goes HURTING from a
yard arm at the. height of the
crews revolt, there is an urge
to shout with glee.
Abused and starved, the crew
asks an accounting. Their de-
mands are ignored and one shiv-
ering group is shrouded in 4
sail-cloth before the firing
squad. The command to "Firew
is barked out again and again
before the condemned realize
they are facing comrades and
not executioners.
Hereon mutiny is rampant,
the crew commanders the yes
sci and sends the body of its
n1artyred leader to Odessa,
where it lies in public, infIam-
ing the residents to sympathy
with the trapped crew, now
awaiting the murderous guns of
the onrushing fleet.
The suspense throughout the
latter half of the picture is ter
rifle. Death for the mutineers
is inevitable, but they stand by
their guns to die fighting the
overpowering numbers encircling
them. On land the sympathetic
townsfolk are slaughtered by
the Cossacks.
Close comes the fleet, maneuv-
ering as though to broadside the
lone champion of justice. Ac-
tually a lane is formed through
which the Potemkin steams, not
to the accompaniment of fusil-
lade, but to the cheers of their
brother sailors who refused to
man the turrets.
Easily "Poterlkin" is a pic
ture which will be reckoned as
one of the, years leaders.

The Film Guild intends to go

The feature picture, "Potemkin,"
is in class that begins and
ends with itself, without stars,
without "It," without comedy,
