"Concentration Camp"
with 0. Jakov, S. Mezhinsky Amkino 66 Mins.
EXPOSE OF NAZI PRISON CAMPS FALLS BELOW STANDARD OF RECENT RUSS FILMS.
Designed to take a propagandistic crack at the Nazi government, this new film is sensational in some aspects, but as a whole it is not up to the standard of recent Soviet films. It lacks any epic qualities and it does not have the tremendous dramatic intensity which was so skillfully injected into "Professor Mamlock." The work of 0. Jakov and S. Mezhinsky is good and the rest of the cast is adequate. Story deals with attempts of Nazi guards to break the spirit of Communist prisoners in concentration camps. Film ends with large scale workers' strike looming, making escape of Jakov and the possibility of a all good Soviets happy.
CAST: 0. Jakov, S. Mezhinsky, S. Skirokova, I. Kudriatsev, V. Vanin, S. Muratov, A. Konsovsky, I. Doromin, A. Gribov, I. Koval-Samborsky.
CREDITS: Produced by Mosfilm; Director, A. Macharet. Presented at the Waldorf Theater with Russian dialogue and English titles.

"Du Gamlcc, du Fria"
(Thou Old, Thou Free)
with Sigurd Wallen, Karin Ekelund,
Karl-Arne Holmsten
Scandinavian Talking Pictures 87 Mins.
HUMOROUS AND NOSTALGIC STORY WILL ENTERTAIN THE SWEDISH AUDIENCES.
Unfortunately there are no English titles to supplement this new Swedish film and it will serve only for audiences speaking the language. It is humorous and thoroughly enjoyable screenfare. The story concerns the return of a prosperous Swedish native to his own country after many years in America. The acclamation of himself and his daughter afford a wealth of situations which have been cleverly handled. Sigurd Wallen plays the role of the returning native and his daughter is portrayed by the attractive Karin Ekelund. Karl-Arne Holmsten and Hilda Borgstrom also give fine performances.
CAST: Sigurd Wallen, Karin Ekelund, Karl-Arne Holmsten, Hilda Borgstrom, Dagmar Ebbesen, Gull Natorp, Nils Lundell, Harald Nordquist, John Eriksson, Costa Gustafson.
CREDITS: Europa Films Production; Director, Gunnar Olsson. Presented at the 48th St. Theater with Swedish dialogue and no English titles.
