Desc: Yastrebinoe gnedzo: Directed by Cheslav Sabinsky. With Pyotr Baksheyev, Zoia Karabanova, Nathalie Lissenko, Vera Orlova. Nicolai Orloff, a horse dealer, is swayed in the management of all his affairs by his selfish mistress, Glasha. His daughter Sonia, returning from school, discovers the other woman strangely antagonistic toward her, particularly when she meets and falls in love with Prince Alexis. Desiring the prince herself, Glasha prevails upon Orloff to forbid his daughter continuing her romance with him. Later, Glasha disappears and the prince is accused of murdering her. It develops in the end, however, that she was killed by enraged peasant women who objected to the harsh treatment accorded them by Orloff, who they knew was influenced by Glasha.
