Georg Willhem Pabst. Although she is known as a patron of the arts, a graceful duchess nevertheless refuses her nephew permission to marry an enterprising actress in this German melodrama starring Kathe Dorsch and silent screen legend Henny Porten. When Philine (
Hilde Krahl), the troupe's ingénue, is rejected as proper marital material by the Duchess of Weissenfels (Porten), Karoline Neuber (Dorsch) creates such a furor that she risks dire consequences.
