‘Rudolph Valentino in ‘The Young Rajah’ an adaption of the play, “Amos Judd,” by Alethea Luce and the novel of the same name by the late John Ames Mitchell, is the Paramount feature for release on November 12th (1922.) Here it is said, one of the most fascinating stories in the whole realm of American fiction, scenarised by June Mathis, who adapted “Blood and Sand” and “The Four Horsemen,” and directed by Philip Rosen, one of the most capable men on the Paramount directorial staff. The picture has been most lavishly produced, it is said, with a reproduction of the Indian Dunbar and a college boat race, with a background of handsome steam yachts and a myriad of darting motorboats, among its high lights. Wanda Hawley as leading woman, and Charles Ogle head the  supporting cast.’

(Note: Natacha Rambova was the costume designer who brought forth the lavish costumes for this picture, and husband Rudolph detested the film as he found it of poor quality and storyline and hence lacking artistry.)
