There must be some kind of gas leak in that extremely large house that only affects the rich people in the house #SilentFlickerSunday #TheOysterPrincess

I love Ossi Oswalda.. She’s like the Marion Davies in that when she turns on the full comedic insanity you better get out of her way b/c nothing is going to stop her

So yeah, while Lubitsch did have actual Black actors & actresses in “The Oyster Princess” they’re playing super stereotypical servants 🤦🏽‍♀️
