A few facts concerning it give an idea of how big the undertaking was. There are twenty-three instalments with an aggregate length of nine miles of film. The cost of the production to the Thanhousev Company was £200,000. Of that sum, £2OOO was spent on costumes for Miss Marguerite Snow -alone. "The House of Mystery." the big mansion in and around which so many of the scenes are laid, was bought outright solely for the purpose of the serial.
