Note that a February 6th, 1926 Film Daily article mentioned that Karl Dane was one of the cast, but his scenes were removed from the final film. We are not sure what his role would have been but we have seen stills featuring Dane in a black & white Pierrot clown costume. Finally, note that acclaimed Danish director Benjamin Christensen came to the U.S. in 1926 and directed this movie, followed by six more. Three of the seven films are lost.
