' MOSCO\V.—Nikolai Lenin. Premier’cf Russua, may die at any : ,‘\
moment or he may live an indefinite length of time. but .he will never
ecover, say physictans. who have ‘becn_ attending him since his
recent stroke of paralysis.
Thousands gather daily in the street before the Kremlin. the
g‘Czar's Moscow palace where Lemn has his apartments. to read the
“bulletins concerning the "Little Father's" fight {or life.
At his bedside are his.wiie. “Comrade Kruppskaja," his sister.
Maria Illintshna. and Zinoweff. his foster son.
Lenin is now busy with his ministers working out governmental
'Istrategg to be followed for several years. in order that after Lenin's

“death t
remaining Soviet leaders can “carry on" without his advice.

a relief such plays are from the con-
vontional drawing room drama."
They try to read sense into lines and
situations that have no sense.
The latest psychopathic phantasma-
gotta is “The Adding Machine." 1;!-
mer Rice's play produced by the
Theatre Gurld. The best description
of the play is in a simple narration
of the story. This writer has only a
vague idea of any motive or any sig-
nificance that might lie beyond the
lines and situations.

When “The Hottentotf' was flashed
on the screen at the Rialto Theatre
for the first time yesterday. the nudi-
ence was fully prepared to view one
of the best pictures of the year and
when the plcture came to an end
the audience was convinced that the
claims made for the picture were not
in the least exaggerated. It is a pic-
tm-e that will please tiny audience as
it is a clever composite of love inter-
est. sports and comedy. As Vitus
Mandeu of "Saturday Evening Post"
fame would say comedy is what “The
Hottentot" “has nuthiu' else but."
