And if that's not enough to recommend it, the immortal Pola Negri gives a well-rounded performance and her star appeal is abundantly clear even at this early stage of her career.

The film itself doesn't have much to recommend it beyond Miss Negri, but the remastered print I viewed on YouTube was quite good and -with a nice piano score - is a pleasant enough way to see the embryonic Pola absolutely poised to take the world by storm.

Although often described as a "vamp" by film writers, it certainly does a disservice to this legendary star to limit her appeal to this clichéd stereotype for Pola is so much more in every performance.

Although the "vamp" outline is contained in the film - young woman steals money from a beau, and runs away from her family to the big city were she became a famous dancer and steals a married man from his wife & daughter - Pola's character retains the audience's sympathy and does the right thing in the end.

It's easy to see why Pola would shortly take Europe and America by storm and let's hope more of her filmography continues to be rediscovered and saved.
