There is a reference to this film in Sheldon Renan's "An Introduction
tothe  American Underground Film", (New York: E.P. Dutton, 1967).
According to Renan the film was directed by Melville Webber and Dr. James
Sibley Watson in 1933-34.  The also directed an early version of "The
Fall of the House of Usher." Renan says of Lot that it was more ambitious
than Usher, and "It uses more actors and actresses to better effect, with
lyric use of multiple exposures and distorting lenses, and with a
sensuous sense of light.." p. 76
