Meet the Prince is a lost[7] 1926 American comedy-drama[5] silent film directed by Joseph Henabery and starring Joseph Schildkraut and Marguerite De La Motte. It was produced by Metropolitan Pictures Corporation[4][8] and distributed by Producers Distributing Corporation.[5]

Plot

A bankrupt Russian prince (Schildkraut) and princess (Faye) 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.[1][3][6]

Cast

Production

The production included an accurate reproduction of the great reception room in the Grand Duke's palace at Petrograd, Russia.[4][10]

Reception

The film was not well received by reviewers.[11] The plot seemed drawn out, and Schildkraut, a skilled dramatic actor, was deemed miscast in his comic role.[1][3]
