Pretty Good Movie For A Dull Year

Alla Nazimova stars in a dual role, as the half-Chinese, half-Occidental natural daughter of Frank Currier, and his legitimate daughter. It all takes place in Peking during the Boxer Rebellion, and Miss Nazimova, rejected by the westerners, joins the Boxers, led by the likewise mixed-race Noah Beery.

It's a lavishly produced movie, with a great crowd scene, and the copy I looked at was nicely done: almost every scene tinted, and one or two toning effects. The camerawork by Eugene and Tony Gaudio was typical of the era, with lots of cuts to make up for the lack of a moving camera. Miss Nazimova attempts to diffferentiate her characters by make-up, wigs, and moving in different manners, which serves to make them look nothing alike.

The credits list Reginald Denny and Anna May Wong -- the latter in her screen debut -- but as usual I couldn't spot them.
