Dawn of the East 1921
"The Story of a Beautiful Woman Engulfed in the Whirlpool of Oriental Intrigue."
Overview
Countess Natalya is a glamorous refugee from the Bolshevik revolution. Supporting herself and her ailing sister by dancing in a Shanghai dive, she's is talked into a marriage with a wealthy Chinese gentleman. She has been led to believe that this marriage of convenience is not binding, thus she sees no reason not to marry American diplomat Kenneth Harlan once she's arrived in the States.
