These melodramas for adult audiences were unlike American serials that were targeted primarily at youngsters. At Albatros, Russian émigré producer Joseph Ermolieff produced three serials in 1921, all adapted from \u003ci\u003eroman-feuilletons\u003c\/i\u003e by the phenomenally successful Jules Mary, a specialist in the genre, who penned many a famous melodrama around the theme of the miscarriage of justice - a theme that must have had special appeal for the unjustly displaced technicians and artists of Ermolieff's Moscow and Yalta studios.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThe first two serials have not left a trace in the annals of film archives.
