Bela Lugosi was in a Broadway show.
 The film was a major hit, but Lugosi was paid a salary of only $3,500, since he had too eagerly accepted the role
Lugosi eventually travelled to New Orleans, Louisiana in December, 1920 working as a crewman aboard a merchant ship, then made his way north to New York City, where he again took up acting in (and sometimes directing) stage plays in 19211922, then worked in the New York silent film industry from 1923 to 1926
