Actually 1922 (or 1921). It is interesting to note that thecinematographer
was G.W. (Billy) Bitzer, who was
D.W. Griffith's cameraman:

I can't shed any light on the content of the film. But, it
did have its premiere at the Cameo Theatre in New
York. Leventhal was quoted at least once in the
S.M.P.E. Journal (May, 1926).
