The Motion Picture Industry in Soviet Russia

The first portion of this paper is a translation of an editorial in the November, 1930, issue of “Motion Pictures and Life” apparently an official organ of the Soviet motion picture industry. The Five- Year Plan of Soviet Russia embraces the development of the motion picture industry, and while most of the other industries fulfilled their assigned tasks during the first two years, the motion picture industry fell far behind. The weak points of the present system are outlined, and the general status of affairs is indicated. — The second portion of the paper is an abridgment of an article in “News of the Electric Industry,” of May, 1930, entitled “Talking Movies,” and describes apparatus developed by the Central Laboratory of Wire Communication in Moscow.
