BEAUTIFUL NEW STAR Pola Negri Win* Admiratiqn of America. “Passion” made a big success abroad, and unless we are much mistaken it will make a big hit with the American publio. The brillance of “Passion” is not in superficial artistry—that is, the adroit handling of lights, the tricks of acting, or unusual camera work. It lies in the director’s conception of the story and the suave and beautiful acting or the cast. Pola Negri, who plays the role of Du Barry, is an actress of unusual appeal. The acting of the other players, particularly the actors seen as Choiseul and the king, is brilliant. "Passion” ought to be studied by American directors and actors. As for the motion picture public, it has a treat in store for it.— The Morning Telegraph, Monday, December 13tn, 1920>

PASSION WINS FOREMOST HONORS Shown Under Banner of First National to Capacity House. American producers for the screen have long been accorded world leadership in the art of the silent drama, but the presentation of “Passion” may be accepted as a direct announcement that the film masters of Europe are ready to challenge for. the foremost honors. “Passion” ranks beyond dispute with the greatest pictures that have ever been conceived and projected for the silver sheet. Shown under the banner of First National to capacity houses at the Metropolitan yesterday. It served to introduce a continental star in Pola Negri, a Polish actress with a command of screen powers that are a veritable revelation to, those familiar with the limitations of some of our most film luminaries.

Life

“Passion” is a fine picture. The acting of the Polish star, Pola Negri, is .remarkable and the entire cast is excellent —we repeat—it is a fine picture.—‘Life. >r

New York Herald _ • 1 > ' ‘ v - r. _ ;

PASSION Wonderful Spectacle of Dramatic Vigor. “Passion,” the first picture of any note imported from foreign parts since I the war, -treats • history as It would haVe been written by the scenario writers, emphasizing the romantic elements rather than those that H. G. Wells would browse among. However, there are stirring scenes in the outbreak of the Reign of Terror, the attacks ;upon the homes of aristocrats and the storming of the Bastile. This picture is the best celluloid symphony of the period so far presented—almost' vivid enough to bring Leslie Carter back to the stage in her old part. There are poignant. scenes ; once whew thg lover, who has peen saved' by Du Barry from death and given a commission in the royal guards, 'is foroed \ to condemn her to tne guillotine by I his love of the people, and again wjhen Du Barry herself, poised before the blood mad populace on the brink of eternity, begs for one more moment or life. —New York Herald, Monday, December 13, 1920.

CRITIC SEES PASSION Impossible to Describe—Pola Negri Wins Admiration. We.came back to the office gasping for breath and In search of superlatives after witnessing a screening of “Passion,” the hlg European production 1 being distributed by First National. First person we met was the boss. “Boss,” we said, “we have just seen the biggest picture ever and we don’t know how to describe it. You mustn’t miss it.” “Must have been a whang.of a picture.” There it was. That’s Juss It. "A of a picture.” Thai’s what "Passion” is. Dictionaries* don’t hold words to* describe it. The filpi was seen without musical effects to soothe the ear, but with a good orchestra arid thrown on the screen in a movie palace, it ought to be super-exdellent, Pola Negri ! A find ! Unknown in America, she is Europe’s most popular actress and with good reason, if one Is to Judge from her work in “Passion. She runs the gamut of human emotions.— Cincinnati Post, January 29, 1921.

CONTINENTAL STAR Pola Negri Brigs Europe’s Success Her*. , It Is entitled “Passion,” and has Ibeen Imported from Europe, having originated in Northern Germany, by Associated First National Pictures, Inc. Tne Polish actress, Pola Negri, plays Its leading role, and Its director was Ernst Lubltch, who i3 said to have a reputation as a cinematician of the first rank abroad. It Is in building this story of prerevolutionary France, reaching Its Seek In the revolution, that Mr, LuItch has done something notable. So his picture has dramatic sweep as well a* localized Intensity ; it lives as a human document; and it satisfies historic curiosity. How far it departs from actual history is Immaterial. So far as the present writer is able to Judge It has caught the atmosphere and meaning of Its time, and historical fiction has accomplished Its object when it does this.

PASSION Intimate Story of Little French Milliner. As the captivating little milliner who gazed In delight not unmixed with wonderment as the cupid-strlcken flocks fell before her* Pola Negri, .the star is superb. There is never a hint that she Is not a young and joyous creature who expects to earn her living by, making hats until 'perhaps some day sh) may marry Armand de Falx and have six children. We have always felt that Du Barry was an Ingenuous person innocent of wiles, and that Is what Pola Negri makes her. If she stalked her prey there was never any hint of it, and if she had lived now even her most Jealous contemporaries could not have referred to her as a “vamp.” No, they would probably have put their heads together and said: “They’re all crazy over Jeanne and she’s always giving, them the air.’ The selection of this star to portray the countess Du Barry was a happy thought Besides being spontaneous and gay and totally without affectation she Is very lovely to look at. “Passion” is a First National production, and we should say that it is at least 99 and 44-100 per cent, perfect. The mob scenes are wosderfully well done. •
