C. 1921 Ernest Haigh, English Scotland Yard Detective, in tales form the life of a great detective. Episode Three, Part Three of "The Girl Who Came Back". Fifteen true stories from life. One a week, fifteen pages from a famous detective's note book. Ex-Detective Chief Inspector Ernest Haigh (1871-1938), formerly of Scotland Yard, was a colorful storyteller who in the early 1920's wrote regular articles for The Detective Magazine. To pay off his debts, Haigh also agreed to write wildly-sensationalized crime film scripts for the Frederick White Company. Made aware of his actions, the Metropolitan Police attempted to suppress the films by filing legal actions and threatening to remove Haigh's pension entitlements. Haigh though, resigned from the police force and eventually wrote a whole series of film scripts entitled Secrets of Scotland Yard which featured himself in over a dozen of these popular British silent movies. Usually directed by Edward Gordon, he played himself in "Lost, Stolen or Strayed"(1921), a British two reeler that also featured actors Geoffrey Benstead and Suzanne Morris. He also appeared in "The Prodigal Son"(1921), "The Girl Who Came Back"(1921), "Mother's Darling"(1921), "The Lady in Black"(1921) and "Fight in a Thieves' Kitchen"(1921). Director Edward Gordon.
