Seastrom admits that there have been larger outdoor talking sets, but declares that the set built for the Banky production is the largest ever made indoors where complete control of light and vocalisation could be maintained.

"A Lady To Love" was adapted from an original story by Sidney Howard, author of the successful Broadway dramas, "Ned McCobb's Daughter" and "The Silver Cord." Supporting Miss Banky are Robert Amos, Edward G. Robinson, Lloyd Ingraham, George Davis, Anderson Lawlor, Gum Chin, Richard Carlo and Henry Armetta.
