194 THE TWENTIES A fine motion picture was King Vidor's The Crowd, distributed by M-G-M in 1928. The two protagonists of this simple, moving tale were Eleanor Boardman and James Murray, shown above. BELOW Of the productions that Mauritz Stiller directed in this countrv, Barbed Wire was the one most nearly a hit. The story concerned a French girl in the World War in love with a German prisoner. The war-engendered hate of the townspeople is about to wreck their lives when her blinded brother returns to preach peace and tolerance. Clive Brook played the German prisoner. In this scene we see Pola Negri as the French girl, Einar Hanson as her brother, and Claude Gillingwater as her father. The picture had tragic repercussions. Shortly before the picture was released, Hanson was killed in an automobile accident; and Stiller died a vear later.
