Peter the First
Still at Little.

7 EST it be forgotten. Peter the
First" Soviet film biography Of
Russia's empire-building Car, still Is
being shown at the Little Theater and
will continue to be unreeled periodi-
cally until late Saturday evening. This
picture won the highest cinema award
at the Paris Exposition last year, and
there were valid reasons for the choice.
Realism in production excellent acting
and absence OF blatant propaganda
make it the most impressive release to
date by Amkino.
Nikolai Simonov plays the vigorous
Peter in thoroughly vigorous fashion.
The young son of the Soviet proves no
weakling in the commodious boots of
the powerful car. His effort is only
one OF four acting gems, however.
There is ALA TaraSova, star of the
Moscow Art Theater, in the role of
Catherine, the servant girl who be-
came a czarina; there is M. Zharov as
Peters favorite general and a con-
vincing villain Is played by Nikolai
Cherkassov as Peters weak-minded
son.
The film is oppressively slow for a
number of minutes, but soon becomes
notable screen work from the stand
points Of realistic spectacle and indi-
vidual performance. c. A. M.

referring 10 IL as the 8nOSC OF Andrea
Leeds. That was wrong. Miss Leeds
is back again in the Goodwin Fol-
lies" and not even ghost could move
us so much. Her performance Is not
so good, nor is her opportunity to
perform, but just having her back in
technicolor is tremendously good for
the soul.
In physical appearance, Miss Leeds
takes one back. in way, to the days
when Janet Gaynor was Americas
sweetheart. The style in sweethearts
then was petite girl who moved in
a cloud of stardust. Miss Leeds is
like that, but she conveys an impress
sion even more substantial You have
a feeling that inside her pretty blond
head and back of her wistfully ap-
pealing face there is working brain,
a respect-commanding intelligence
that makes it all right for Miss Leeds
beauty not to knock you dead. What
we are trying to evade is saying that
she is not beautiful, but she isn't.
That should not matter, however.
She is lovely to look at and if America
has any memory at all about some of
its past sweethearts, it knows how
the merely beautiful ones can let it
down.
Another thing about Miss Leeds as
sweetheart is that she is young and
will endure for long time. The
country, which has no reputation for
fidelity to its film sweetheartS, might
adopt Miss Leeds, remain faithful for
years and defy those who have rightly
charged it with perfidy.
Hours Of throbbing in the brain
can produce no candidate who seems
so eligible as Miss Leeds for the job.
Annabelle, young French actress,
might have made it, but she is re-
ported to be pouting about something
after having made her first picture
in this country c'Wings Of the Morn
ing was made in England, Miss
Dyhrberg), and to be on her way
home. Franciska Gaal, from Buda-
pest to Paramount. would be more
eligible. but they can't fool us for
we know she is married, which counts
with some people.
There is Sonia Henie, to be sure, but
she is more or less the current Ameri-
can sweetheart and probably, being q
sort OF speciality artist, will not 60 on
forever.
Therefore, We nominate Miss Leeds.
