In the movie versions of The Lion and the Mouse and The Great Divide, she established herself as one of the best emotional actresses on the screen. She appears here, with Theodore Roberts, in Exit the Vamp, made for Paramount in 1922. The first feature-length, all-color picture to be produced was The Glorious Adventure, filmed by the Prizma process. J. Stuart Blackton shot it in England, as a starring vehicle for Lady Diana Manners (of The Miracle), the scene being laid in the time of Charles II and the Great Fire of London. Lady Diana's name, and the publicity attendant upon its making, gave it some success in England, but American audiences received it with little enthusiasm. Its chief importance lies in the fact that it was the first of its kind and that it was one of Victor McLaglen's first films.
