Climaxing Moscow's celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Revolution was a gala preview of the Soviet film Lenin in October attended by Stalin. In this it is not Lenin & Trotsky who make the Revolution of 1917 but Lenin & Stalin. The historic role of Trotsky as creator of the Red Army and as the Soviet War Commissar who defeated the White Armies and saved the Revolution is entirely omitted, as are other Old Bolsheviks who have now been executed. Watching the film this week, Our Sun beamed to observe that Lenin, impersonated by ace Soviet Cinemactor Schchukin...
Madame Bovary (Terra). Last spring Paris-Soir aired the rumor that Adolf Hitler's middleaged, platonic fancy had turned from red-haired 29-year-old cinemactress Leni Riefenstahl (who in three years as his favorite had risen to ranking Nazi film authority) to 38-year-old Pola Negri (born Appollonia Chalupec), whose round poll and lank black hair once marked her as the No. 1 vamp of the screen.

Like The Plow, The River was conceived and produced by Cinemacritic Pare Lorentz (McCall's, Vanity Fair), who had sold both ideas to Resettlement Administrator Rexford Guy Tugwell before Tugwell left the Brain Trust for the molasses business. Sponsor of the finished film is the Farm Security Administration, successor to the Resettlement Administration in the Department of Agriculture...
Pare Lorentz, a West Virginian, at 36 is senior among nationally-known cinema critics. He made The Plow that Broke the Plains for $12,000 to enter the U. S. in the documentary film field, then had to get out and distribute it to independent exhibitors, the big companies having turned thumbs down on it, presumably because it represented government-in-the-movie-business. The River cost just short of $50,000, took a six-man crew six months on a 22,000-mile tour of the Mississippi valley. Just when the camera work seemed finished, in January, came...
