I found this ad in the 1917 Motion Picture Studio Directory and Trade Annual. A few names we know, more we don't...

These apparently got picked up for Mutual release, Jolly Jean Otto was the star, Zasu Pitts the leading lady (did she play the title role in HIS CANNIBAL WIFE?). From what I can determine, they bellied up about the same time Mutual did, I wonder if King Vidor ever mentioned his stint there.
