The Mask
1938, Russian. Directed by Sergei Sploshnov.
A charity ball masquerade was held at a social club. In the midst of the festivities, an unknown man in a coachman's outfit and black mask caused a scandal. He shoved noble gentlemen out of the reading room and settled down at a table set for two ladies. Neither the club official's pleas nor the police officer's intervention had any effect on him. He only became more boisterous and mocked the outraged guests.
