During 1921 Wallace Worsley directed Lon Chaney with actress Leatrice Joy. "The Ace of Hearts" was photographed by cameraman Don Short.
Lon Chaney appeared in two six reels films during 1921, both presumed to be lost silent film with no existing known copies, "For Those We Love", directed by Arthur Rossen and starring Betty Compson, and "Bits of Life", directed by Marshall Neilan and starring Anna May Wong.
"For Those We Love" was reviewed during 1921 in Wid's Daily. "Once more Betty Compson and Lon Chaney play opposite each other. While the parts they create are entirely different from those in 'The Miracle Man', the heart appeal is quite similar....Each character has been given plenty of room for development and each at one time or another, is allowed to hold the center of the stage."
"Bits of Life", a Lost Silent Film directed by Marshall Neilan in 1921 is a Quartet with Lon Chaney in a tragic chinese story about a man and his first born daughter. The periodical Wid's Daily reviewed the film as being part of a letter signed by the director explaining the film's narrative structure. "Marshall Neilan has given a novelty to the screen in 'Bits of Life' which might well proove the forerunner of more entertainment of this description. He has taken four short stories and by very cleverly tying them together has given an excellant piece of screen entertainment....All the stories are different. They have no relation whatsoever to each other....Very interesting novelty, which,while episodic, proves very fine screen material."
