Jettchen Geberts Geschichte. 1. Jettchen Gebert
One out of three silent adaptations of the novella "Les quatre diables" written by Danish author Herman Bang. The most famous one, although unfortunately lost, is without any doubt F.W. Murnau's "4 Devils". This German version, by Danish director A.W. Sandberg, was done eight years prior to Murnau's American one, and was a big success at the time.

O alte Burschenherrlichkeit
Bulba's younger son Andry has fallen in love with Panochka since meeting her at the seminary in Kyiv. She is the daughter of the Polish provincial governor.

Taras Bulba
"How to Stay Young and Beautiful - Marital Secrets" is a German silent film from 1926, directed by Wolfgang Neff. The film, starring Hanni Weisse, William Dieterle, and Walter Rilla, humorously and dramatically explores the preservation of youth and beauty within the context of marriage.
Ehegeheimnisse
Dr. Egil Börne, an eminent physician, comes under the spell of an unscrupulous cabaret dancer and deserts his fiancée. The plot finds echoes throughout the Weimar period, including Sternberg’s The Blue Angel. Conrad Veidt appears in a supporting role as a sinister blind painter, whose entrance eerily presages Murnau’s Nosferatu. Der Gang in die Nacht, the earliest surviving film by F. W. Murnau, is also, paradoxically, the only Murnau film for which the original camera negative exists.
