w.Geraldine Farrar and Lou Tellegen. Frank Lloyd directed. Goldwyn built a huge St. Petersburg streetscape for parades and revolutionary rallies. Farrar wears a heavily bejeweled gown when doing a scene from the opera Thais. Kinda pokey until the Reds rise up and decide to requisition women. Now on-line at European Gateway:
