"THE PATRIOT" Ernst Lubitsch's wonder-picture starring Emil
Jannings. With Florence Vidor, Lewis Stone and Neil Hamilton. By far the greatest work of Lubitsch. By far the outstanding role for Jannings. Hear the wild, thunderous Russian marches. Hear the charge of the yelling Cossack riders as they terrorize the streets of Moscow. Hear the pistol shots — and see the innocents mowed down at the whim of a mad but fascinating Czar. Hear the incomparable Jannings and others in the cast talking in the climatic scenes! »|«»J«*J«frJ«»|«»|«*|«*|*»J<*
