"Girl with a Hatbox"
1927
Directed by Boris Barnet

Moving with the speed and grace of the best American silent comedies, this Russian classic teamed Anna Sten--later a star for Goldwyn in the 1930's--with director Boris Barnet. Sten portrays a working girl who is given a seemingly worthless lottery ticket instead of her wages by her unscrupulous employer. The ticket wins her a fortune, and a madcap chase ensues to possess the ticket--and Anna's love. Silent, with orchestral score.  67 minutes.
