JAM INTO THEATER

We entered a long barnlike
structure which served as the
only cinema theater in town.
1t was packed with ill-smell-
ing humanity. There were no
vacant seats.
The GPU chief tapped
three spectators on their
shoulders and told them TO
get up and surrender their
seats. They grumbled at first
but when they turned and
noticed the smartly pressed
uniform Of the political police,
they jumped up with alactrity.
We saw a Hollywood Wild
West picture. with hard
riding cowboys in five-gallon
hats doing a lot of shooting.
The GPU man. proud of his
English. insisted on explaining
every scene to us in loud
voice.
Voices in the audience
clamored for silence. Our
host roared his defiance, and
continued TO eXpound who
stole whose, cattle, and who
shot whom.
mighty good picture" he
proclaimed at the end.
We went back to the Pioneer
at a very late hour. We found
Murmansk wide awake. The
whole population worked in
three shifts. and under the
gloomy midnight sun work
progressed as in broad day
light.
Hundreds of women and
few men were building
fence around a portion of the
harbor. They dug deep holes
in the swampy ground and
sank concrete pillars into tho
holes.

"Never mind the rotten
Streets" the GPU man told
us. 'In two years we shall

We passed the rambling log
building Of the International
Club, which l had helped to
inaugurate more than five
years before. At that time 1

developing into a center of
culture. What l saw now
was a grimy den. crammed
with noisy workers Of all
ages and sexes, some of them
reading ragged newspapers,
others eating fish which they
had brought wrapped up in
paper. but most of them
drinking vodka under the
busts and portraits of Stain

unwashed bodies, and fish was
everywhere. An abandoned
truck was sunk deep in the

we stepped over men and

dull indifference met my eyes
