Russian drama on video

[Vanchu, Anthony J. (JSC-AH)[TTI]]

There are a couple of film adaptations of Andreev's "He Who Gets
Slapped."

One is Russian (1916)which, I've never seen and I have no idea how
available it might be.

The other is American, 1922, and stars Lon Chaney, Norma Shearer, and
John Gilbert.  It was MGM's first production film and was actually quite
successful.  This should be readily available--it gets shown every now
and then on some of the cable classic movie channels.
