NAPOLEONIC WAR DRAMA
Eden Phillpotts’ picture, “The American Prisoner,” has given Carl Brisson a romantic costume role which should, suit him. The action centres around Dartmoor when it was a war prison during the Napoleonic wars of 3515. In those days, when England was at . war with France, many American merchantmen used to smuggle arms to the French, and they were frequently cap- | tured in the Channel by the British War vessels and taken to Dartmoor as pris- . of war. Harry Terry and Regina! Fox are additions to the cast.
