ton
John Brooks Wheelwright has be-
trayed the interests of the John Reed

fred Baker Lewis, New England sec
rotary of the Socialist Party.
when told by the Executive Board
of the club that it would recommend
to the membership that he be in
structed to discontinue this activity,
he stated that he would continue
nevertheless. On June 30 the secre-
tary wrote to Wheelwright, inform
ing him of the vote of the member
ship regarding his activity with the
Rebel Arts and asking for reply
by July 10. No reply was received"

"Vottaire," Starring Arliss,
Is ShutI0U and Distorted

Warner Brothers favorite old curio
and Hollywood's famous historian
bring to the screen the historical
drama, "Voltaire." An advance pub
licity note said that "all the details
had to be exactly right, for Mr.. Ar
lisS Is pretty much the boss on pro-
auctions with which he is associated,
and he is a stickler for authenticity. !"
Well, strike me pink! If I hadn't
seen Mr.. Arliss' previous attempts at
historical Interpretation I might have
almost believed that statement. dis
raeli" and Alexander Hamilton"
were bad enough, but "voltaire"
takes the cake. Not only has John
Adolf (the director of most of the
ArlisS pictures) gone from bad to
worse in his direction, but the pro-
duction sports some of the worst
photography and lighting that has
been seen on the screen for long
time. I would also like to go on rec
ord as saying that this is the most
inaccurate and distorted Of histori-
cal films.
George Arliss and the director
make no attempt to establish the
character of the famous French phil
osopher and agnostic. All of Arliss'
snorting, hand-clasping, twitching
eyebrows makes him look like poor
imitation Of Jimmy "Schnozzle" Du-
rante. The film remains as shallow
as Ariss' acting and as false as the
authors scenario The film deals
with only one incident in Voltaire's
crowded life and an important one
in French history: the famous Callas
case.
The film gives us no picture of
the social and economic setting of
the period. In the movie one of the
Callas daughters comes to plead her
family's case with Voltaire. She sup
plies the necessary love interest by
falling for Voltaire's young secretary.

who caused all the trouble. Not
