in pointing out the futility of war. 1t

action, building upward through series
of episodes to a powerful sea battle as
the climax.
AS one views the film he is strongly
reminded of "Potemkin," the Russian
classic, with all of its glaring reality,
which Is by far It's chief asset. Wherein
"Potemkin" dealt more or less wholly
with the mob, The Raider" combines
a personal touch by inserting and fea-
turing the gallantry and humaneness
of Capt. Karl Won Muller.
Louis Ralph VINO is given creult lof

characterization of the courageous Won
Muller which is at once restrained, sim

Much more could be said of this
film, particularly the photography, but
another equally fascinating picture de-
mands attention.
Many years ago when the movie in

bearing the name of Joseph Won Stern
