Clip Show

Gene Raymond and his wife, Sari Maritza, head off to a locale in Soviet Russia where he can with Irving Pichel. Raymond absorbs all the modern teachings, but Sari is an old-fashioned girl who believes in things like marriage. When Raymond falls for Pichel's lover, Marguerite Churchill, she is heartbroken.

The surrounding story is a framework to show 21 minutes of clips from THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, while priest Harry Beresford explains what the audience is seeing. Afterwards he's thrown off the site for spouting superstitious gibberish. I suppose it was a chance fr Paramount to get some extra box office from the 1923 smash hit. Louis Gasnier and William Schorr are co-credited for direction. Karl Struss handled the cameras, but the print I saw was in poor condition and nothing stood out.
