Soviet Film Executive
Tells of USSR Advance
In Field of Pictures

Such arrangements are being made
with European companies. and I
hope to conduct negotiations along
this line in this country.
IN view Of the rapid cultural
growth of the population Of our
country Of ITO million, We desire to
avail ourselves Of the best achieve
ments in the United States and
Europe in the field of motion pic
lures, and to transfer them to our
soil. In connection with this,
intend to acquaint myself with ti1s
newest developments in the field o.
sound equipment, including equip
ment for 16m1n films, which we be-
lieve will play an important part in
motion picture development in our
country"
Usievich informs us that there
are now over 1000 theatres in the
Soviet Union equipped for sound.
This is tremendous achievement
when il is recalled that the So
Wet Union does not rely on the
International capitalist sound
monOpOlies for its equipment.
As to the technical quality of So
Wet sonorization, it now rivals
that Of the most advanced CAPT
talist countries.
I'VE will utilize the recent i'm
portant technical innovations in
the Is millimeter sound film (half-
size, non-infiammable films. b
to penetrate the remotest sections
of our vast land with our sound
films. It is my personal opinion
that this will be achieved in a
comparatively short time.
"The documentary film is making
great strides in the Soviet Union.
We are now producing a film docu-
ment depicting the history Of Rus
STA for the last thirty years where
in the new and the old systems Of
society will be compared. In this
film there is included material from
the Cars secret archives never re-
vealed to the world This will be a
truly astounding production.
Incidentally, the New York Times
and Herald Tribune reports Of the
interview distorted the main en-
phasis of Usievich's statement as
well as his figures on film produc-
ton costs in the Soviet Union as
compared with those of Hollywood
(The Times reported his estimate
of cost per film as s4S5,0O0; the
Tribune as SI85,O0OD and COM
pletely misstated his explanation
of the inseparability Of the con-
ceptions Of entertainment" and
propaganda" in the Soviet film.
The Times lied as follows: Several
musical comedies and other lighter
pictures will vary its Cthe Soviet
movie industry's-S. b. traditional
film program aimed at arousing So
cial consciousness"
The interview is over and on the
way down one Of the capitalist re-
porters signs deeply and says to
his colleague: only 1000 sound
theatres in Russial They're not
really doing much. :.

MEET v. A. USIEvICH, the head
it Of the foreign trade division Of
the United Motion Picture Industry
Of the Soviet Unionl
Almost cherubic in appearance,
smiling, alert, he answers a thou
sand questions. Usievich has spent
some weeks in Warsaw, Berlin and
Paris before coming to the United
States to establish business con-
facts with the American motion
picture producing and distributing
industry He has probably become
hardened to the particular brand
Of query INDUCED in by capitalist
reporters.
Are Soviet films made for prop
uganda or entertainment"
Who are the favorite American
stars in the Soviet Union?"
Is anything being produced
along the lines of Mickey Mousse"
How many times has he listened
to these questions, some almost
fiippantly superficial, others a thou
sand times answered?
In a terse and instructive state
ment Usievich tells us:
1.-THE output Of sound films de-
yelops rapidly in the U.S.SR., and
I believe that the new productions
that are now issuing from the So
Wet studios will have considerable
interest for the American public.
These include, besides the type Of
artistic features for which the So
Wet Union has become famous in
the past, a number of musical
comedies, travelogues, short sub
jects, and newsreels.
Among the outstanding pictures
which we have recently produced,
some Of which have just been re-
ceived in the United States, are
Thunder Storm adapted from the
drama Of the famous Russian
writer, Ostrovsky, and Petersburg
Night adapted from one of Dosto-
yevsky's novels. In addition to
bllEoG 4l4ll4of DdSGQ O1l C4doSACd1 LbuS-
sian literature, there are now being
completed a series of motion pic
lures dealing with contemporary
Soviet life which will shortly be re-
leased in the United States and
Europe. These include a jazz
comedy called The Shepherd From
Abrau' and musical production
entitled Accordion These films
are only the forerunners of a whole
series of comedies and musical pro-
auctions, full Of vitality and laugh
ter, rejecting various phases Of life
in the Soviet Union.
Another new feature of our
motion picture work will be the
production of several short subjects
depicting the everyday life Of the
people, including their work, cul-
tural activities, recreation, etc, with
particular emphasis on the activi-
ties Of the younger generation.
"A number of American COM
panies have expressed interest in the
possibility of producing film in col
liberation with us in the Soviet
Union, both in English and Russian.

tivities, has organized a Service
Bureau.
The Musicians Service Bureau Of
the Pierre Degeyter Club is fully

After the Death of Harry
Sinms in Kentucky
IN ALFRED HAYEs

Brush Greek miners when they heard
How Harry Sinms was shot
On a side spur from hand car
All their blood ran hot.
Through the counties flew the news
Swifter than flowed his blood
The winds stood still in Cumberland
In Tennessee the creeks froze up.
In Pineville the noon shift paused
The tipple elenched the air
Arlen Miller shot him dead
He shot him, Sheriff Blair.
In Knoxville pickets walked their cells
They heard the hooter wall
He shot him, Judge Henry Jones
He shot him, Lawyer Knight.
The banker shot him from his vault
The mine boss from the run
The governor in the Capitol
They pointed Nnller's gun.
He is not buried in the hills
But where the coal car turns
In Brush Greek pits in Pineville,
Harlan, miners lamp, he burns.
