Articles in the 5 Aug 1922 Universal Weekly and Exhibitors Trade Review recounted actress Priscilla Dean’s recent arrival in New York City to simultaneously promote her upcoming film Under Two Flags (1922, see entry) and begin work on another Tod Browning picture, this one written expressly for her by the director. Under the working title Lady Raffles, principal photography began at the Eden Musée wax museum on Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY. Sequences were filmed in the evenings, after the museum had closed to the public. Filmmakers allowed writers and members of the press to observe production during the weeklong shoot. Two months into filming, the 23 Sep 1922 FD reported that Universal Studios had changed the title to White Tiger. Cast and crew returned to the West Coast in Oct 1922, completing final scenes at the studios in Universal City, CA. The 4 Nov 1922 Exhibitors Trade Review described an “elaborate ballroom set” and enthused that the film might be the “best” of Priscilla Dean’s Universal-Jewel career. Although a 17 Feb 1923 Moving Picture World article indicated that the film had been scheduled for a 7 May 1923 release, reviews did not appear until much later in the year, suggesting that the release date had been pushed back. White Tiger received favorable assessments in the 18 Nov 1923 FD, 22 Nov 1923 Var, and 15 Dec 1923 Exhibitors Herald. However, the Dec 1923 Educational Screen placed the film on a “Not Recommended” list, declaring that it contained “too much crookery.”
