In 1926, the script for one of the episodes was the first script ever transmitted by wire across the Atlantic. Carl Laemmle Jr. was visiting his father in London, who was recuperating from appendicitis. He realized if he mailed the script to California, it would take too much time. It cost $500 to send the wire.
The Collegians was a four year series of 46 two-reel shorts featuring the same players playing the same roles through four years of collegiate life, as envisioned by the imaginations of Hollywood's mid-1920's screenwriters.
