Banned from marriage... Sentenced to prison for a crime she did not commit... ...and the guilty man goes free!"; "Based on a famous Tolstoy novel"; about a Russian peasant girl who is seduced and abandoned by a Prince, and she becomes a prostitute, and years later, she redeems herself by finding God, and she even forgives the man who caused her to fall so far) starring John Boles, Lupe Velez, Nance O'Neil, William Keighley, Rose Tapley, Michael Mark, Sylva Nadina, George Irving, Edward Cecil, and Grace Cunard. Note that a Spanish-language version of this movie was filmed at the same time, and Lupe Velez played the same character in both versions (but John Boles was replaced by Gilbert Roland). Also, note that Sam Goldwyn re-made this movie in 1934 as "We Live Again". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the first Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition from 1931 (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Here are some more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would re-publish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The example of this book offered here does not have its dust jacket. Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: good. The inside front cover is water stained in the bottom left, as are the next two interior pages, including the photo page. Otherwise, the book is in pretty good condition. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the condition of this book. Learn More about condition grades
