Moskvin Is Superb in
"The Station Master"
at the Cameo

(. At the time Moskvin appeared with
the Moscow Art players in this
country, he received many offers from
motion picture companies to appear
in a production to be made in Holly
wood. There is still a well-founded
report that United Artists have him
under contract. He recently appeared
in an old Russian film called POLY
kushka" and his next appearance will
be at the Cameo Theatre in "The
! Station Master" a SovEino produc-
ton which opens today.
In the estimate of most critics
Gear Ivan the Terrible" achieved
the highest level in individual char
aeterization. This general judgement
was arrived at before "The Station
Master" was seen featuring Ivan
Moskvin. It is the contention of most
of the well-known European critics
that in "The Station Master" Mosk-
vim creates an almost perfect cinema
portrait and even the German ex
perts considered his performance SUI
perior to that of Jannings in "The
Last Laugh" In fact many of them
call "The Station Master" "a Rus
sian Last Laugh"
