Russia and the Film,
In the celebrations of the Afteenth anniversary of the Soviet Union the achievements of the new Russia in the world of the cinema have not been neglected, and with good reason, for whatever Soviet Russia has done badly it is beyond dis- pute in artistic circles that she has developed the art of the Alm to a higher pitch than any country. For one reason and another the number of Bussian, films shown out- side Russia has been very small compared with the total produc tion, and we may expect to see even fewer in the future, for the Soviet studios are actively engaged at present in making Sims for the use of workers, who will learn by this method all the processes of in-
