End Of st. Petersburg" Now

Sovkino, chief Of film makers of
Soviet Russia, is responsible for one
Of the most dramatic motion pic
lures made in Russia, the colossal
film "The End of st. Petersburg"
which will be shown at Loew's The
aires this week.
1t was directed by young genius
of "a, W ]. Pudowkin, and in this
he attempted to film the dramatic
story Of Russia's entrance into the
war, of the events leading to the
fall of the czarist regime and the
rise and fall of the Kerensky gov
eminent. One feature of the picture
is that it was filmed without a
script. and another is that the direc-
tor did not use professional actor.
Pudowkin finds that the people who
make a living of acting become
trained in certain ways and are in
capable of really interpreting sin
cere emotions and passions.

We accuse those elements who are

OIL WELL FIRE
Is Third Big Fire in
Death Traps
(By a Worker Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, (By MaiD.-
On January 9, the third large fire
during the past six months broke
out in Santa Fe Springs oil wells.
Roaring through the air 200 feet,
sheet of flames-visible in Los
Angeles, 20 miles away-shot from
the General Petroleum Co.'S oil well
No. 145-C, following an explosion
which ignited gas in the we'll when
the drilling was down to the $500
foot level. Ten hours later, when
being drilled at the 4000-foot depth,
Getty Hill No. 20 we'll blew out with
similar deluge, sending mud,
water, sand and towering flames
several hundred feet in the air-or
towards the pie-land in the sky, if
you please.
An unidentified man working on
the 145-C derrick when the blast
came escaped only by jumping so
feet to the roof of an adjoining shed
and crumbling to the ground. The
derrick melted soon afterward from
the terrific heat, according to eye
witnesses. The condition in which
the worker was picked up is kept as
secret as the oaths of Klansmen and
4th degree Knights of Columbus. A
number of workers were killed or
hurt in oil fires at Santa Fe Springs
last summer, as published in The
Daily Worker, but not much was
said or done about it. No. Death

vertising purposes anyhow, they say.

to elope. For a hick town girl, even
Eva requires some persuasion. But
the lure of becoming fallen woman
overcomes her, and finally she packs
her grip. True, she is recaptured by
the watchful Stella, who is alive to
Andy's disillusion and the traps set
to encourage the elopement. But in
"a general denouement at the end of
the scene there is better understand
ing all around. So Eva leaves "to
