''The Garden of Eden'' is a 1928 American silent film, silent comedy drama film directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Corinne Griffith, Louise Dresser, and Lowell Sherman. It was adapted from Avery Hopwood's short-lived stage production of the same name. Plot Toni LeBrun (Corinne Griffith), a Viennese ingenue (stock character), ingénue, is determined not to be content in her current life, staying with her aunt and uncle and working in their pretzel bakery. The young girl earns a correspondence course degree as an opera singer and dreams of fame on the stage.

When she arrives, Toni is confused when the manager, the lecherous (and quite possibly lesbian) Madame Bauer (Maude George), asks her to show her bare legs in lieu of exhibiting her singing voice. ...
