- "Why the Bolsheviki" deals with the historical motive for the present upheaval in Russia and is described as one of the most intensely dramatic and stirring picturizations of class conflict ever consummated. The film lays claim also to extreme spectacular beauty, and to insure its historical and technical correctness it was produced in Russia and Italy, hundreds of people and scores of the most elaborate and expensive scenic effects being utilized. Despite the elaborateness of its scenes, the action is swift and condensed, the picture being in five reels, the accepted program feature length. It is expected to score strongly as an expose of the tyranny of a barbaric, passion-mad autocracy which drove the Muscovite soul into vengeful eruption. The plight of a nation groping blindly for the ray of democracy is said to be revealed in graphic style. Upon this background the story is worked out, with a beautiful woman as the heroine and a czar as her evil genius with all the necessary aids to lend realism.
