American film director E.A. Martin, who had 66 director credits between 1913 and 1921, on page 3510 of the April 17, 1920 "Motion Picture News". An article on that page states that he had been ill and in bed for six weeks when Martin was notified that actress Juanitta Hansen had signed to go with rival company Pathe on January 1, 1920, so Martin rewrote the script for the 12 episode film serial "The Lost City" (1920) and then filmed all of the scenes with Hansen by December 22, 1919, while she was still under contract.
