THEY ALSO SERVE!

The screen has immortalized a phaze of war hitherto neglected by poets and dramatists who sing of “The Gory of War”- the parting lovers married for a night and torn from warm embrace when “a lifetime together would be little enough.” Lillian Gish as Pauli gives a beautifully touching performance and Ralph Forbes as Carl, her soldier-husband is excellent. New York audiences thrilled to this intensely human screen record of the other side of the great conflict in this “war picture without a battle scene.” “The Enemy”, based on Channing Pollock’s stage success, has been called the most effective argument against war ever presented and it is at the same time superb entertainment!.

The portrait is in very good condition with a minor surface mark top centre.
