An unusual picture at the cinema
Usually, professor and Mrs. Morgan did not like films and they seldom went to see them. But once in the evening, they went to the cinema with the children. There was an unusual picture showing at the cinema, which was located not far from their home – “the ballad of soldier”. This film is an episode in the life of a young Russian soldier. After a heroic action at the front during the last war, he received a leave.
The film is touching and interesting, and the scenes of the Russian landscape are beautiful. Of course, the actors spoke only Russian, but there were subtitles in English.
The Morgan family liked this picture very much. Professor Morgan liked it most of all. When Morgan went out of the cinema, he said to his wife, “You know, Helen, I think I shall be able to speak with Russians in their own language when I go to the U.S.S.R. I understood almost everything that the actors and actresses said on the screen.
