Here's the studio they filmed in and around. You can see the skylight. To the right is the storefront where they line up: 6242 North Broadway, Chicago. They should have hired the funny little fellow who was first in line.

Re: some silent film stills
#6 Ralph Graves and Gloria Swanson in Prodigal Daughters 1923- their only gig together.
I can't find any other images of Swanson with her hair up in this movie or in that winged dress, but of course she probably had 30 costume changes.
