Be Silent, My Sorrow, Be Silent (1918)
Paula is a circus performer married to the alcoholic clown-acrobat Lorio. Lorio's heavy drinking leads to him being severely injured during a performance. This forces Paula and the now-crippled Lorio to become street musicians. This film formerly ran to 81 minutes – regrettably, the second half is considered lost.
Directors: Pyotr Chardynin, Cheslav Sabinsky, Vyacheslav Viskovsky.
