MAKEUP BANNED
RUSSIAN DIRECTOR’S VIEW S. M. Eisenstein refused to allow actors to use makeup in his picture, “Ten Days That Shook the World.” reproduction of the Soviet triumph during 1917, now being released in the United States and Canada. The producer, who became world-
famous for his first picture, ‘‘Potemkin,” naturally experienced difficulty in finding actors for the roles of Lenin, Kerensky and other figures who took part in the great event. Nikandroff, a mechanic frequently arrested by the Czar’s police because of his close resemblance to Lenin, found that likeness a source of profit in the picture.
A student in the Leningrad Art institute, named Popoft', was selected to portray Alexander Kerensky, while types sufficiently distressing to ap pear in the hunger queues were enrolled from State hospitals.
