Roosevelt and the Movies
Roosevelt realizes that the films
are powerful agents Of propaganda
He was so pleased with Gabriel

shows the president as dictator)
that he had it shown to him twice

The Awakening
Only recently has the public even
begun to suspect that the film ever
since it's invention has been used
chiefly as an instrument of propa-
ganda by the ruling classes to keep
the masses in subjugatiOn. The
American Communist Party can
feel justly proud that one of its
members, Potamkin, became recog-
nized as Americas greatest film
critic as well as the one who did
most to change the film from a
bourgeois art of decadence to a
true proletarian art.
Potamkin concludes that SHOW
ings of Soviet pictures and other
revolutionary films are themselves
initial arguments against the shall
owness of the American film, which
has only prejudice as its basis.
Workers cultural organizations (the
John Reed Clubs, etc. thru revo-
lutionary film criticism and thru
their own revolutionary films must
instruct this film audience in the
detection Of treacherous reaction Of
the bourgeois film"

White House Explains Why
Roosevelt" Was Removed
From Program.

The White House explained yesterday
why it recently requested the radio
program, March of Time" to cease i'm
personation of President Roosevelt, who.
like many other public figures, has been
character in the topical radio dramas
of this program for two years or longer.
There were two reasons, the White
House explained, why 1t was deemed
necessary to take Mr.. Roosevelt, the
dramatic character, of the air
In the first place. other advertisers
protested. They asserted that If the
President could be convincingly rep
re Sented by voice on one program
there was no valid reason why they
should not use the same attraction for
their own program. 1t was even sug-
gested that it would be proper for them
to use records of portions of the PrcA-
dents speeches in their programs.
The second reason the White House
was impelled to act was that con-
siderable number Of people who tuned
in on the program haphazardly thought
they actually were hearing the Presi-
dent. The White House received a
continual stream Of inquiries why the
fact the President was going to speak
had not been announced in advance
so his radio audience could have heard
the whole thing.
In view of these conditions, Stephen
Early, press secretary to the President,
requested that the use of Mr.. Roosevelt
in the program cease.
So far as any one here could recall,
there was no precedent for this prob
lem. Before the advent Of the type
of radio program which dramatizes
current events it could not have arisen,
of course There was said to be no
law which forbids the representation of
living individuals in radio programs or
