Adventures, romance. mystery and thrills are the ingredients she has mixed to produce a serial of action and suspense. The heroine, a beautiful school girl is bound by deathbed promise to her father to break up band of criminals who have caused his death and to frustrate their efforts to play their lawless trade. To aid her in hes mis- sion, a series of keys is mysteriously placed in her possession, each key opening the way to a new step in her single-handed battle against the pow erful conspirators.

She appears as a school girl; a Chinese maid, girl of the New England fish ing Villages, an Italian fortune teller, spanish dancer, a harem favorite and score of others. Hen range of garb runs from the rags and tatters of the slums to the magnificent evening gows and wraps of the highest society, and is bound to make a powerful ap- peal to woman picture goers.

But she didn't stop there. She made a trip to New York. stopping in the principal cities and interviewing hundreds of eXh1DltOrS en route. Sne literally "pumped' them for suggestions, and she repeated her interview on the way back to Los Angeles. All the informa ton thus obtained was carefully listed and catalogued to be used to the best advantage in her future pictures.

 In the capacity of producer, Miss Roland found her capable hands full There was an infinite amount of busi- ness and technical detail to master There was the leasing and equipping ing, the hiring of carpenters, electri- clans and all the other artisans that contribute to the making of pictures.

During the many weeks that Lincoln posed before the camera, he became so deeply tanned from contact with the sunlight that when studio work was occasionally required of him, he was obliged to paint his face and arms white in order to keep from register ing as pronounced a brunette as the real descendants of Africa who sup ported him in the cast.
