The Prisoner of Zenda

Vacationing in Ruritania, aware of blood lines shared with local royals, Rudolf Rassendyll is discovered by Col. Sapt (Robert Edeson) then introduced to the dissolute king (also Stone), Rex Ingram directing the third movie version of the Anthony Hope novel, The Prisoner Of Zenda, 1922.

Englishman Rassendyll (Lewis Stone), look-alike stand-in for the detained king of Ruritania, has just been coronated, infuriating the evil duke (Stuart Holmes) but pleasing princess Flavia (Alice Terry), who doesn't know he's replaced her usually wimpy cousin, in The Prisoner Of Zenda, 1922.

Director Rex Ingram's initial tour of the villains, who are not credited except Ramon Novarro, in his star-making role as Rupert, and Stuart Holmes as "Black" Michael, the usurping grand duke of Ruritania, in Metro Pictures' The Prisoner Of Zenda, 1922, starring Lewis Stone.
