Meet the Prince

Plot

A bankrupt Russian prince (Schildkraut) and princess come to New York's Lower East Side to escape a revolution at home. They hatch a plan to marry rich Americans. While pretending to be rich, the prince falls in love with a poor girl (De La Motte), who herself is trying to marry for money. The prince ends up marrying the poor girl, and his sister marries a butler, but they are all happily in love.

Cast

Production

The production included an accurate reproduction of the great reception room in the Grand Duke's palace at Petrograd, Russia.

Reception

The film seemed drawn out, and Schildkraut, a skilled dramatic actor, was deemed miscast in his comic role.
