Into Her Kingdom is a 1926 American silent romantic drama film directed by Svend Gade and starring Corinne Griffith. The film, which dramatizes the Russian Revolution, featured a Technicolor sequence. It was based on a 1925 short story of the same name by Ruth Comfort Mitchell, originally published in Red Book Magazine. [1] It is not known whether the film currently survives. [2]
This was the second to last directorial effort of Svend Gade in the United States before returning to Denmark. At the time of production, several expatriate members of the Czarist Russian nobility and military class were living in the Los Angeles area and working as extras in films. Some were recruited to serves as cast members and technical advisors on this film. In a Technicolor insert, running 221 feet, the Weaver of Fate picks out multicolored cords and plays tricks with them. The red cord represents the girl and the brown cord represents the boy.
