Photo-illustrated with stills from the film. Based on the 1932 film, directed Paul L. Stein, and starring Roland Young, Basil Rathbone, and Pola Negri, appearing in her first Hollywood film and first talkie after a brief retirement in 1928.

Photoplay edition (actually, in this case, the true first edition) of this tale of an exotic cabaret dancer who opportunistically throws over her lover to marry a king, but whose life (and the king's) is then complicated by a revolution, among the leaders of which is her scorned lover. (In the movie, the king was played by Roland Young and the lover by Basil Rathbone, the latter a replacement for the originally-cast Laurence Olivier, who (it was reported) was sidelined by a "refractory appendix," whatever that means.) Per a statement on the title page, this 1932 RKO release (instigated under the RKO-Pathe banner, but taken over in a merger too complicated to explain here) marked "the return to the American screen of Pola Negri," a publicity factoid further promoted by the reproduction, opposite the frontispiece photo, of a letter from La Negri herself, in which she states that she has "pledged [herself] to give to this role the best that it is me and it is my hope that in interpreting the character of a woman with lofty ambitions and high ideals, I have not failed." The Polish-born actress, who came to Hollywood in 1922 on the strength of her appearances in a number of Ernst Lubitsch's German-made epics, had gone into a brief "retirement" from the screen in 1928, after marrying her second husband; by the following year, however, she was already working again, appearing in one last silent film, a 1929 British feature entitled THE WOMAN HE SCORNED, directed by German director Paul Czinner. Her subsequent return to America in this film (also her first talkie), however, was less than triumphant, and she promptly "retired" again for a few years before making a spate of European films (one in France, six in Germany) in the mid-to-late 1930s. Although A WOMAN COMMANDS wasn't a hit, its theme song, "Paradise" (sung by Negri) was, and its popularity was enough to launch her on a successful vaudeville tour.

my skin looks so healthy!
these are the only collagen masks that i feel like hydrate my skin and don't break me out (i have very problematic skin, combination and acne-prone). it gives me that glow from within look/feeling. please be aware that collagen CANNOT be absorbed through the skin, only through diet!! so the only benefits you may get from these come from the other active/non-active ingredients in these masks. but i def recommend these none the less!!

Quite surprised! (positively)
I decided to give it a try after I saw it in a few videos on social media. Those masks really moisturise your face skin like nothing before, at least in my case. It does take few hours, but it’s definitely worth it. I personally tried it during the day, and took it off after 3.5h but my husband tried to sleep in it - ended up getting up at night to take it off so maybe sleep time is not the best :P Regardless - I think it’s working really well, and it’s also fitting nicely without “moving” so it’s comfortable to use it any time you’re doing something at home.

My skin was glowing.
When I first opened the mask it was so slimmy, I couldn't get it opened. But the essence soaked right into my skin after a bit and my skin felt soft and shiny. I felt so excited to put it on and try it out. The mask was worn overnight and it was able to stay on my face all night without falling off. So, the mask was very durable and an ease to take off. The moment you take off your mask is like the moment were a frog who turned into a PRINCESS. Okay, I'm exaggerating just a bit. But, not really. You're skin really glows and is shiny. You can put moisturizer on if you want, but I only recommend sunblock. You'll look stunning! Now, go and "shine bright like a diamond!"-Rhianna (Sorry, I just had to.)

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.
