“THE ENEMY”
'—FRIDAY.
-War, its glamour 'and its realities, have been: transplanted to the screen in ,many fonns ; v <the surge and thunder of -battle lias been depicted in great and .gripping spectacles, -but never has the atoiyr of the .other war that;, is waged ,on .the home .front been sowividly pre-, sen ted “The Enemy, ’ ’ the motion picture which Metro ; Goldwyn-Mayer will release .at the .Princess Theatre on Friday. It is noteworthy that MetroGoMwynrMayer .was responsible for (that coiossal . spectacle, “ Ben Hur,” under she inspired direction of Fred Niblo, and that the name of Fred Niblo again appears as .director oif “ The JSnemy.” .The same company and the shine director again working in unison/ .with Lillian Gish as ;star and a brilliant supporting cast promises one of the greatest motion pictures of all time. “The Enemy” is based on .Channing Pollock’s play of the same ititle—the most dramatic indictment of War iever seen ,on the stage. Austria is the centre of .the story, Pauli (Lillian Gish) being the happy, bride of 'one .night when iher husband, a reservist, is called for immediate;, draft .to’. .the, trenches. Thereafter the spectator, follows the'life otf the devoted and. courageous Pauli, her family/ and the babe that is -born to her, together with 'the-composite life of a great city gripped in the throes of war, to a most dramatic conclusion. Ralph (Forbes, <the -English actor, appears opposite; ’Lillian 'Gish. .
/ The supports 'include topical, .serial,! and comedy.
