NAZI FILMS

ANTI-RUSSIAN AIM

The' film is to be used more vigorously in Germany in the Nazi campaign against Bolshevism (reports the "Manchester Guardian"). The biggest German film company is producing a series of six anti-Bolshevik films. The first is to have the title "State Enemy No. 1," a variation on the celebrated American anti-criminal slogan, which was taken up originally at the Nuremberg Party congress.

It is declared to be a great documentary film which tears the mask of Bolshevism, and shows the way it works and the camouflage it employs, arid reveals it as the "scourge of mankind."

Another film will deal with Bela Kun, who established a short-lived Soviet Republic in Hungary. Yet another will deal with the love romance of two people who "after unspeakable trials and tribulations escaped from the Bed hell." A film version of "My Son the Minister," the French satire upon Parliamentarism, will be made, showing the alleged corruptions of an era which has been overcome in Germany. Two more films will deal with heroic episodes in the Great War, one concerning the army and another the navy, ••

It'seems possible that they will rouse protests from the Soviet Government. Two anti-Soviet films were produced last'season; one of them, with a former Soviet actor in the leading role, dealing with the Russian collective farm system and the ill-treatment and expropriation of Volga Russians of German origin, evoked a protest from the Russian Embassy.
