eminent has in active service and

does not count naval forces, nor the
national guard, which numbers APP
proxinately half a million. The re-
port, by saying little about any sol

tried to give an impression that "the
army is now less than 10000
strong"
According to VAIL the active list
on June 80. 1923 had on it 12,112 of
ficers and 121, 185 enlisted men. The
reserve corps has 14,824 enlisted

school. for soon Eisenstein begins
pounding away on the psychological
aspects of drama. Gradually, he be-
comes proselyte of the materialist
philosophy. He studies history and
art effectively, rather than subjec-
lively"
Under these influences, Eisenstein
set out to produce "Anti-Jesis." The
action of the play takes place in
gas factory, and Eisenstein attempt
ed to remove the artificial aspects
inherent in the theater and recreate
the play as a fusion between artist
and public by recreating the life of
the factory. But Eisenstein found
that, while to certain extent re-
moving the theater from itself was
possible, in order to go further he
would have to leave the theater en-
tirely. He wanted to be closer to
life-to the plants, the masses, the
streets. A cursory study Of the
cinema had convinced him that only
in that medium was complete and
absolute detachment from artifici-
atty possible.
Turns to Cinema.
! In 1924, Eisenstein completed his
first motion picture. 1t was "Strike"
and in it he attempted to tell the
story of the Collective Young Work
err in the new Russia. 1t was his
first "mass" film and the one deci-
sive departure from the cinema tech
nique of the period. The browning
point of this genre arrived in "The
Armored Cruiser Potemkin." his sec
ond film, produced in 1925. In it,
there were no individual heroes
the mass becomes the Individual
and the hero at once.
"Ten Days That Shook the World"
now showing at the Little Carnegie
Playhouse, which he completed in
1927, is in one respect, a continu-
alton of this tradition. But in this
film he also attempted to expert

clares: "The intellectual cinema
must be an entirely new form and

emotional, pathetic pictures; actual

Eisenstein's meaning will probably
be clearer when his agricultural
epic, "The General Line" which he
is now completing, is released. In it,
he is striving to capture the pathos
and momentalism of the everyday
life of the masses.

CERGIE NJ. EISENSTEIN, leader

of "Ten Days That Shook the World"
was born in Riga, Russia, in 1898,
the son of civil engineer. His
youth was the conventional one.
Early his father had sent him to
school. he entered the Institute of
Civil Engineers in Petrograd. Mathe-
MATES and architecture occupied his
time, but the freedom from the d.
rect influence of his parents permit
ted him to indulge in something
which had always had a peculiar
fascination for him: the circus and
the little experimental theater.
Eisenstein never considered his in
terest in these subjects seriously.
But later. while studying the period
of Leonardo de Vinci (the period of
the Renaissance), he began to apply
his architectural education to the
design of the theatre. During this

satire. He takes Ostrovsky's clas-

success of this production strength

all dramatic work should be mon

Opposition to the proposal of

1t is understood Slack is opposed
to the construction of a leVee for
more than a mile along the stream.
Perry said the levee would be
needed to protect abutting property
from floods.
Slack indicated he would favor
development of the present Millers-

gradually acquiring land between
the road and the creek.
