A Prison Camp Romance.
Date: 08 August 1927

Still another phase of the World War serves as the basic thought for "Barbed Wire," the Paramount Theatre's current feature, wherein Pola Negri and Clive Brook, who hail respectively from Poland and England, figure in the principal roles. Miss Negri appears as a French peasant girl and Mr. Brook plays the part of a German fighter. This chronicle, which is said to be based on Sir Hall Caine's novel, "The Woman of Knockaloe," published in 1923, has for its background a farm in Northern France that is turned into a prison camp for German soldiers. It is in many ways a deftly directed film, but the story might have been considerably improved by the inclusion of more detail of the lives of the military prisoners and by the exclusion of one of those melodramatic incidents, peculiar to motion pictures, which no longer come as a surprise to the spectator.Rowland V. Lee, who guided the destinies of "The Whirlwind of Youth," and Erich Pommer, who a year or so ago was the head of the Ufa company, have filmed many of the sequences most effectively, especially the earlier chapters. First there is the unalloyed happiness on a French farm (perhaps the cheer is a little exaggerated), and then follows the stunnning effect of the news that war has been declared. There is the immediate change in the countenance, the breeding of hate and anticipation of grief. It becomes a joyless community. A father, who was a veteran of the Franco-German War of 1870, is inclined to be philosophical, but after he hears of his son's reported death he is filled with hatred for the enemy. This aged man succumbs to the shock caused by the realization that his daughter, Mona (Miss Negri), has fallen in love with Oskar, one of the German prisoners. The residents of the community are enraged that Mona, the daughter of France, whose face had been smileless since the outbreak of hostilities, should have consented to become the wife of an enemy captive. After the armistice Oskar wins the favor of the neighbors through an earnest appeal from Mona's blinded brother, who was supposed to have been killed.As usual, Miss Negri handles her characterization with ease. She changes her facial expression in a remarkable manner to suit the action of this narrative. As Mona she is active, with a will to work, after war is declared, but the knowledge that war has taken her brother brings a listlessness to her eyes and a set look on her face. Clive Brook, who also appeared as a German in "East Is West," in nearly all his scenes gives a capital showing. There are one or two places where Mr. Lee has called upon Mr. Brook for an expression that is too glowering and hardly natural. Gustav von Seyffertitz, a talented character actor, plays the part of one of Mona's neighbors. Claude Gillingwater is excellent as Mona's old father.Clyde Cook supplies the comedy in this picture. He is acrobatic, and his antics elicited a good deal of laughter, but his stunts are by no means a help to the story. It is a case of dragging in comedy without considering its value to the vehicle.
