The fabulous Josephine Baker as Zouzou tries to help her childhood friend prove his innocence after he’s accused of murder.

Jean conspires to get the show’s star out of town and for the theater manager to see the high-spirited Zouzou perform.

AKA The Belle of Broadway
Directed By: Harry O. Hoyt
Stars: Betty Compson, Herbert Rawlinson, Edith Yorke
Madame Adele, once a great star of the Paris theatre, has fallen upon hard times. But she allows a young American performer, Marie Duval, to perform as the Madame Adele of old, and both become the darlings of Paris, one again and the other newly-crowned.

The Sony Pictures Choice Collection MOD program is planning to release its first silent title on Dec. 3: Harry Hoyt’s “The Belle of Broadway” (1926) starring Betty Compson.

Directed by Elia Kazan, and loosely based on the second half of the 1952 novel of the same name by John Steinbeck. It is about a wayward young man who, while seeking his own identity, vies for the affection of his deeply religious father against his favored brother, thus retelling the story of Cain and Abel.
The film stars Julie Harris, James Dean (in his first major screen role), and Raymond Massey. It also features Burl Ives, Richard Davalos and Jo Van Fleet, and was adapted by Paul Osborn.
