Wiki.

Mockery (1927) is an American silent film about the Russian Revolution starring Lon Chaney. The movie was the second film made in Hollywood by Danish director Benjamin Christensen and stars Chaney as a Siberian peasant who aids a countess (played by Barbara Bedford) who is threatened by the encroaching insurgency.

The screenplay was written by Bradley King, based on a story by Benjamin Christensen, which in turn was adapted from a short story by Stig Esbern. The sets were designed by Cedric Gibbons and Alexander Toluboff.

The film's original shooting title was Terror. It was in production from May 19, 1927 to June 27, 1927, and cost $187,000 to make. The film grossed $751,000 worldwide. Johnny Mack Brown, who later became a famous Western star, played a soldier in a small uncredited role. Stills exist showing Chaney's make-up as Sergei.
