Amazing sets and costumes!
Sadly not all of the film has survived, but I managed to catch about 40 minutes of its' splendor.

the 20-something Fern Andra as Genuine
Lord Melo (Ernst Gronau, 33?), a rich old man arrives to the slave market
he buys her as a pet and takes her to a makeshift underground palace
Genuine escapes by climbing up her candy stripe tree
Lewis Brody (28) as the male servant
the greatest clock of all time
Hans Heinrich von Twardowski (22) as Florian, a barber's apprentice
von Twardowski reminds me of Crispin Glover at times
the comb in the old barber's hair was a splendid touch
lord on the right was good, like the living dead
angry mob arrives
terror, no escape
slight reflections of Gladys Brockwell
Directed by that grand master Robert Wiene, who was 47 at the time
