Brigitte Helm in “Scandal in Baden-Baden” by Erich Waschneck; Germany 1928. The film cannot be shown at the moment because the 35mm print only has english flash titles (i.e. the titles have only one single frame).

“My aunt – your aunt” by Carl Froelich; Germany 1926/27, with Henny Porten in a cross dressing role.
The only known 35mm print of the film is hard to get – in Moscow at Gosfilmofond.
