ROYAL, KINGSLAND
“BARBED WIRE” War finds new swathes around the eyes of justice, shutting out whatever meagre rays of light seek to find reflective welcome there. Just as hatred drives out love, just
mother heart are submerged under the flood of patriotic sacrifice, so does the sense of fairness depart before the overpowering onrush of the lust to torture, to maim, to kill. This neverchanging trait of human kind is the sustaining chord running through the plot of the new Paramount picture, “Barbed Wire,” in which Pola Negri is being starred, and which is being shown at the Theatre Royal, Kingsland. It is an adaptation of Hall Caine’s tremendous war drama of surging human conflict, “The Woman of Knockaloe.” The climax of the story comes when Miss Negri’s plea saves Clive Brook, a war prisoner, from the undeserved punishment about to be given him by a military court.
