"The Yellow Ticket" (aka "The Devil's Pawn") was directed by Vicor Janson and Eugen Illes as a German project shot partially in Warsaw. A story of a Jewish girl forced to hide her identity in order to attend medical school in St. Petersburg, the movie is a melodrama of multiple oppression. Lea, as played by Negri, is at a disadvantage as a woman, an orphan and a Jew -- and yet has immense persistence and an insatiable ambition of becoming a doctor. The film includes more than one plot twist (the final one further complicating the issue of Lea's identity), but it's first and foremost a testimony to a spirit impossible to suppress.

German silent film

Harry Hill auf Welle 1000 (Harry Hill on Wave 1000) is the title of a silent crime drama from the “Harry Hill” series, which Valy Arnheim produced in 1926 based on a script by Curt J. Braun in his own production company, “Valy Arnheim-Film Richard Spelling,” with himself in the lead role of the energetic detective. The title is formulated in reference to the station announcements common in the early days of radio, such as “Berlin auf Welle 400” (Berlin on Wave 400).
