Baltic Deputy (Lenfilm). A universally noble cinema theme, of which the most prominent U. S. exponent is Paul Muni (Zola, Pasteur), is the life story of the great-hearted man of science. To be worth his epitaph in Russia, however, a scientist must also hew to the Marxian line. Such a one was Professor Arcady Klimentievich Timiriazev, sometime lecturer at Oxford and Cambridge, and professor of plant physiology at the Moscow State University. The explosion of the Russian Revolution, when he was 75, brought down his grey hairs not in sorrow but in grandeur to the grave, gave Soviet cinema...
...Lucien Koch's brother Raymond. Redhaired, 29, and freckled, "Chucky" Moskowitz raised money for the College, saw it through its legal and extra-legal baitings, got it electrical and water systems, a printing plant and the dairy in which the cows are now fed on the un-Marxian principle of "to each according to what she produces."

Though he has recanted the barricades, he is still vaguely Marxian, vaguely Trotskyite, mostly ''Musteite"- as other sectarian radicals call his followers of the American Workers' Party. Preacher Muste now has enough taste for organized religion to say: ''The Church, weak and imperfect as it may be, exists, and it seems to me that after the example of Jesus...
...different line from most of the U. S. Catholic press regarding Spain: "Was the religion of the people of Madrid so superficial and their intelligence so benighted that a half-hundred aliens from the North could come down with a few pocketfuls of rubles and a supply of Marxian pamphlets and win over a population to atheism and Bolshevism in a jiffy? What were the priests doing? . . . There was something wrong in Spain. What was it?" To similar questions which have been asked about Mexico, Pius XI last week gave an indirect but revealing answer, namely that Mexico...
