What happens

Clothes Make the Woman is a surviving 1928 American silent historical romantic drama film directed by Tom Terriss, and starring Eve Southern and Walter Pidgeon.

Anastasia was killed along with her parents and siblings by communist Bolshevik revolutionaries on July 17, 1918. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
