In the late afternoon of May 26, 1919, in a field about thirty miles outside Riga, Latvia, a squad of nine German riflemen executed eighteen Latvian Bolsheviks. [..] In its day, Johnson’s celluloid was one of the most sensational film sequences ever shot. Even today, after decades of atrocities recorded on film and tape, the choreographed dispatch of the eighteen Bolsheviks is a spellbinder. [..] The irony is that, at its first public showing, in New York in January 1920, Johnson’s film sequence was associated with the name of Herbert Hoover.
