GAIETY IN MOSCOW.
CELEBRATION OF REVOLUTION
LONDON, Nov. 7. The Manchester Guardian’s Moscow correspondent says that Moscow last night was ablaze with lights and heavily decorated in preparation for to-day’s celebrations of the seventeenth anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution.
Every building carries some form of red decoration. Many are floodlit, including a new 15-storey hotel which is almost finished, and the 12-storey Council of Commissars building. The latter’s facade bears a full-length photograph of Stalin 10 storeys high. Nearby is a huge representation of the locks of the Moscow-Volga canal, with real water noticeable.
