In the 1968 book, The Parade’s Gone By", where various theatre managers were asked about the movie environment in 1921, the manager of the Electric made a racial slur" concerning the now lost movie “Bits of Life” in which one segment had an Oriental story line and was the first film in which Anna May Wong was given screen credit
