Two vintage reference photographs from the 1925 film, struck from the negative circa 1950s, one showing actor Mae Murray and the other showing Murray and actor John Gilbert. Based on the 1905 Hungarian operetta, which was in turn based on the 1861 French play "The Embassy Attache." A lush romantic melodrama with touches of humor involving a European prince who falls for an American dancer. The relationship falls prey to every manner of trouble, and the never-married couple eventually reunites on location at Maxim's in Paris. A rare program for an early and restrained gem by one of the great directors of the silent era. Set and partially shot on location in Paris. One photograph 8 x 10 inches, one photograph 10 x 8 inches. One Near Fine, with faint wear to the corners, one Very Good plus, with light wear to the left edge.
