The Washington Masquerade

For his defiant stance against graft, a grateful community sent earnest defense lawyer Jefferson Keane (Lionel Barrymore) to the U.S. Senate. Unfortunately, the capitol has its ways of chewing up and spitting out the well-intended...as the novice lawmaker is targeted for seduction, marriage--and, ultimately, humiliation--at the hands of calculating lobbyist Consuela Fairbanks (Karen Morley). Politically charged pre-Coder also stars Nils Asther, Rafaela Ottiano, Berton Churchill. 88 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
