Theodore Dreiser writes the fol- lowing concerning Soviet films: have repeatedly voiced my convic- tion that the Russian cinematic as well as most of tts other forms of art is especially distinguished because it is more humanly as well as esthe- tically enlightened and so closer to reality than the art of any other country. The intangible realities of mind in general as against the com- monplace actions of characters con- fined by a conventional and mean- ingless code as well as plot, are in Russian cinema, as well as its plays and novels, always affectingly and grippingly presented, “Contrasted with the absolute failure of the motion picture as an art form in America and most other countries today, this material which comes from Russia fairly throbs, not so much with promise as with achievement, It repeatedly, in this as in other instances, shows to the world what the motion picture should be.” 29 EAST 14TH STREET We Carry a Full Line of 967 unemployed are registered and getting any kind of relief.
