Princess Wolkowska's lace shawl is a German silent film melodrama filmed in 1917 with Maria Carmi in the title role.
action
Baroness Elinor von Cederström has had a terrible fate. She was once engaged to Count Edgar Holstein, who was just as addicted to gambling as he was deeply in debt, but he left her disgracefully at the moment when he learned that Elinor was impoverished and that there was not much to get from her. But then the noblewoman met a handsome man of significantly higher rank, Prince Wolkowski, who gave her a precious lace shawl for their wedding. Elinor has a duplicate of the expensive piece made and, out of old solidarity and goodness of heart, gives the original lace shawl to the heartless and faithless Holstein, so that he can settle his towering gambling debts. But one day Princess Wolkowska regrets it very much, and she confesses this gift to her ex to her husband.
Production notes
Princess Wolkowska's lace scarf was made in the Bioscop studio in Neubabelsberg at the end of 1917 . In March 1918, the film passed censorship and was banned from youth. The four-act strip was, depending on the source, 1370 or 1558 meters long. The first performance took place in April 1918 in the Biophon-Theater in Berlin.
This was Maria Carmi's last German film. Hans Albers, in turn, played one of his first film roles here. The film structures were created by Robert A. Dietrich and Artur Günther . Robert Reinert was in charge of the artistic direction .
