Film Society, Nearly In Red, Shows 'Tanks'

Standing a bare three feet away from the red, the Harvard Film Society goes into New Lecture Hall at eight o'clock again tonight on its accelerated program. The pictures are Dostoyevaski's "Crime and Punishment" and "Tanks." the famous OEM documentary of the production war. The Society is showing Pierre Blauchard's French version of a Russian novel not for its snob appeal, the Executive Committee states, but "because students want to see good pictures, as they have during the Society's six-year existence."

The grim side of the pictures is that the Film Society is unincorporated, and its officers may still be paying for this summer even halfway through the war. Competition from the Suminer School and the heat has slowed down subscriptions to the point that there may be no Film Society next fall.
