...Power of Evil (Armenian). Said to be the first feature production made under supervision of the Armenian Soviet, The Power of Evil tells what happens when a family conceals the fact that its daughter has epilepsy so as to marry her to the richest young man in the village. It is subtly acted, well photographed, superbly directed. U. S. audiences, familiar with the works of Armenian mot-maker Michael Arlen (Dikran Kouyoumdjian) will find no traces of that young man's simpering suavity in this sombre, compact story.

...niece of John Pierpont Morgan, managed to enter Soviet Russia last month without a visa. Last week she got out of Bolshevikland without even a passport, sold to Hearst papers the romping diary of her exploits, then spilled her story all over again to every correspondent who would listen. Young men-about-Manhattan sighed. They know "Molly" Cogswell. Acutely they sympathized with Bolshevik males who were unable to withstand her high, burbling, husky wheedle...
