THE CIGARETTE GIRL OF MOSSELPROM (1924):

As she works in her tedious office job, Maria Ivanovna dreams about being married; and she has particular hopes that her co-worker Nikodim Mityushin will take an interest in her. Nikodim, though, is in love with Zina, who sells cigarettes. Not a day passes by that Nikodim doesn't "run into her" selling on the street and buys cigarettes from her (even though he doesn't smoke). One day, a film crew uses Zina as an extra in an outdoor scene, and the cameraman, Latugin, falls in love with her. Latugin soon arranges an acting job for Zina. To complicate matters further, Zina has yet another admirer in Oliver MacBride, an American businessman who is visiting Moscow.
