RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN
FILMS---A COMPARISON

father a strikebreaker, the fathers
death, the sons arrest, his accidental
betrayal by his mother, and then
prison scenes, an escape, marvellous
series of scenes on the floating ice
blocks of the river, and a charge in
which the Cossacks ride down mother
and son with their red flag into death
but not defeat. There are no very
startling tricks of new technique in
this film, but. for sheer motion pic
ture quality-for excellence of direc-
ton, for good solid camera work, for
acting, and above all for complete
absence of bluff and hokum it is the
best straight film drama l have ever
seen. The sub-titles are not too many
or too important-with a little more
effort they could have been cut cut
altogether, and the film reduced to
the pure cinema of a Chaplin picture
or "The Last Laugh" The action
lacks the nervous speed of an Amer
lean movie-this | think is. partly be-
cause of the simplification of Incl
dent, and partly because the gestures
of the actors themselves are more de-
llberate than ours-but it develops
with logic and an inevitability that
we practically never attain. Memoir
able and beautiful scenes are those
with the men racing along the super
imposed gangways of a prison, the
grinding river of ice, a maniac i'm
pact of horses, and finally-one of
the most skilful treatments of a diff
ficult theme l have ever beheld-the
dissolving march of the Kremlin walls
with their triumphant flag of today.
This conclusion, which with any diff
ferent handling might have had all
the triteness of an American happy
ending, combines realism and phan-
tasy in just the right proportions, by
means of double exposure in which
two panoramas moving in opposite
directions finally coincide and solidify
into the scene which closes the film
The Mother will certainly sooner
or later be shown to western audi
ences, and it will be met with burst
of enthusiasm such as few pictures
have ever received.

IVAN THE TERRIBLE
HELD OVER FOR THIRD
WEEK.

"Czar Ivan the Terrible" is being
held over for third week at the
Cameo Theatre. The Sovkino film
is doing big business. The picture
continues to be presented with the
original atmospheric program. This
includes a special short film offering
entitled "The Last of the Cars"
which traces historically the line of
monarchs that ruled Russia. L. M.
Leonidoff portrays the Gar in the
full-length screen offering and the
Moscow Art Players help portray
other character roles. The musical
program at the Cameo is also Russian
dramatically, including popular folk
songs in its symbolic medley.

The Workers Party and
the 1928 Election Drive

pcDcy. The party line is TO continue
to agitate for a Labor Party while
making more definite and concrete
preparations to put up candidates
under the banner of the Communist
Party. 1t is my personal opinion that
the decision to do this should be made
now without further waiting.
Socialists Mislead Workers.
The socialist party will attempt to
PASS itself off in the forthcoming
elections as the Labor Party. 1t will
try to capture the discontinued work.
ers with radical talk in order to d.
vert them from the path of struggle.
1t must be repeated again and again
that the period before us is one of
harder times and sharper class coll
Esions. Ir this period radicalism will
grow amongst the workers and we
must not only expect demagogic at
tempts from the socialist party as a
whole to exploit these sentiments, but
as the issues grow sharper and the
discomfort deepens, we must particu-
larly expect that pseudo-left social
lists, pretending to be extremely
radical will come forward. These
are great dangers in the situation.
The awakening workers can be con-
fused and the process Of their de-
velopment as conscious fighters
against capitalism seriously ham
pered if these moves of the socialist
politicians-right and cleft"
not defeated. The socialist party is
a thoroughly reacticnary and corrupt
PARTY. It's fake cleft wing" which
is only "cover" for the blacklist
treachery committed against the
workers by the party, must be ex-
posed and fought with particular in
transigence.
Test for Workers Party.
The elections of 1928 will be bat
tie field on which the political capa-
cities of our party and its ability to
properly defend the interests of the
workers will be put to a genuine
test. It will meet this test insofar
as it throws off these prejudices and
tendencies toward sluggishness and
Indifference which have so far ham
rered its activities in election cam
pa gins.
The revolutionary party, however
small in numbers, must not hesitate or
be afraid to unfold its own banner in
the election fight. 1t is no crime and
no disgrace for the Party to be small
at the present stage of development
in America. 1t is a disgrace only to
evade the struggle on that account,
or to conceal Its revolutionary aims
in the elections.
One of the best hopes for the
Party is that the 1928 elections will
mark the turning point where it
leaves behind all prejudices and ira
ditions which ignore or minimize the
Importance of election campaigns as
field of class struggle, and where it
establishes it's position firmly as a
political party which defends the in
terests of the workers aggressively
and intelligently in the election cam
paigns as in all other fields of action
in the class struggle.
