A Paramount Picture

The greatest picture Pola Negri ever appeared in -- foreign or American. The fiery, dynamic personality of "Passion," flashing like a comet through reel upon reel of soul-touching, nerve-tingling action. Thousands in the cast; colossal sets that will make you gasp; blazing color and magnificent costumes. And a story of super-thrills and breathless melodrama.
