Among the cast members were Edward G. Robinson, Albert Brown, C. W. Secrest and Edith King. Robinson had played various minor roles on Broadway during the 1920 season, and was invited by director Rollo Lloyd to assume character roles during the 1921 Elitch season. Robinson’s theatrical ability enabled him to assume various character roles, all in a convincing manner.
