Die Perle is a German silent film fun play from 1914 by Max Mack with Hedda Vernon in the leading role.

action

An elderly gentleman from the provinces of so-called “better circles” comes to Berlin to sniff a little big city air and enjoy some amusement. This also includes a visit to the Komödienhaus, where the actors and the play seem to interest him far less than a pretty, young lady in the theater box opposite. When the girl leaves the theater, he follows her and ends up in a ballroom. You get closer and celebrate a little with champagne and peach melba. "These two foods are the terrible causes of all kinds of laughing-muscle-nervous effects." Finally, there are various mix-ups, "which cause great happiness."
