The comedy project featured Ben Lyon, Blanche Sweet and Diana's sister, Lois Wilson.

Now a bon vivant, George Fitzmaurice was sitting in his new home when Diana Kane stopped in to ask for a part in a movie.

As mentioned previously, after Roberta's marriage failed, she moved to New York and settled in with Bebe Daniels In 1923, she changed her name to Diana Kane.

Diana used her home to stage weddings, showers, social functions, and most importantly, a place to raise children.
