The Mystic / Aileen Pringle as Zara
None other than the famous Erté designed Aileen Pringle's gowns for this movie, although he was uncredited. She plays a fake medium from a carnival who becomes part of a plot to swindle American high society. The film was directed by Tod Browning, who went on to direct Freaks and the 1931 Dracula with Bela Lugosi.

Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ / Carmel Myers as Iras
Once again, Erté provided (uncredited) costumes for the character of Iras, the Egyptian vamp. The headdress is particularly astonishing. Love the peacock motif!
Also, today I learned that some parts of this film were actually shot in Technicolor. I had no idea that was even around in the 1920s.
