Very early Lubitsch is quite sweet, though primitive - everyone seems to be acting towards the camera, including Lubitsch himself, who plays the lead in a sort of goofy early Woody Allen style. It's funny watching Lubitsch the actor when you consider just how he directed people like Garbo and Melvyn Douglas, Burgess Meredith and Jack Benny.
My version had French intertitles and had the name above with the subtitle 'Comédie in trois actes' - on IMDB it's listed as Where Is My Treasure? which was apparently the worldwide release title.
Louise Schenrich, Lanchen Voss. 35 minutes with no other credits.
