CAPITOL

NEW PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT The war of the non-combatants deprived of the tools of war. Men and women goaded by thoughts of murder and destruction, but lacking the opportunity to give vent to their feelings. This is “Barbed Wire,” the new Pol a Negri starring vehicle for Paramount, which will be presented at the Capitol Theatre to-night. “Barbed Wire,” a dramatic love story of gigantic power and universal appeal, has been acclaimed the most unusual war picture ever flQmed. It is unique in that it is not primarily a story of the battlefield itself.; it reveals the dark currents of the back eddies from the time of the declaration of hostilities until after the armistice was signed. It is from the pen of Hall Caine, being an adaptation by Jules Furthman. of the novel “The Woman of Knockaloe.” Clive Brook. Einar Hanson. Claude Gillingwater, Clyde Cook, Gustav von Seyffertitz, Ben Hendricks, jun., and Norman Peck are in the supporting cast. “Home Made,.” starring Johnny Hines, will also be screened. [
