With live accompaniment by Ben Model
Early Hollywood Superstar Marion Davies stars in this lavish romantic comedy as Beverly, an American college girl, who gets talked into masquerading as her cousin Oscar (Creighton Hale) the Prince of Graustark, a small European monarchy. Complications arise when she falls for her bodyguard (Antonio Moreno), a shepherd who rescues the "prince" from an ambush. Projected from an extraordinarily well-preserved 35mm print from the Library of Congress. (USA, 1926, 70 Mins, Silent with English Intertitles | Dir. Sidney Franklin)
