POLA AND WAR
Some of the most unusual war scenes ever filmed are shown in Pola Negri’s next Paramount production. “Hotel Imperial.” In this drama of love, war and intrigue, which gives Pola the finest vehicle of her career, greater even than “Passion,” an entirety new conception of drama has been combined with the most extraordinary camera technique ever used. Having as its fundamental purpose the portrayal of tne reactions of war upon individuals, the battlefields artsuggested rather than pictured. Through the unusual methods employed, Erich Pommer, former head of Ufa. has given a swift mental picture of the inferno of conflict, with a sweap of limitless fighting fronts, that leases an indelible impression—one that is retained throughout the dynamic drama. As a result, “Hotel Imperial' is unlike any war picture ever attempted. In the cast supporting Miss Negri are James Hall, sensational new leading man, George Seigmann, Otto Fries, Max Davidson, Nicholas Soussanin and Michael Vavitch. Mauritz Stiller directed.
