Note that this movie has an unusual name, for an unusual reason! The producers of the movie held a contest through Photoplay Magazine. They said they would release this movie with no name at all, and then viewers could watch it and write in their choice for the best name for it, and that the winner would receive $5,000, a staggering amount in 1924 dollars (we have no way of knowing if the prize was ever awarded, but we strongly doubt it!). Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
