== Cast == *Marion Davies as Diana May *Macklyn Arbuckle as James P. May *Forrest Stanley as Commander Cleeve *Gypsy O'Brien as Lady Anne *Pedro de Cordoba as Dr. Dimitrius

== Production == In her 14th film, Marion Davies plays the young Diana May. The film required Davies to play a faded, aged woman and also employs a science fiction theme of rejuvenation. This was a troubled production. Albert Capellani began production in April 1921, but he was replaced by Robert G. Vignola (who may have re-shot all of Capellani's footage), and the film was finally released in August 1922. Forrest Stanley co-stars with Davies for the third time.<ref>Lorusso, Edward (2017) ''The Silent Films of Marion Davies'', CreateSpace, pp. 69-70.</ref>
