[KineJapan] "Jinzo Ningen" as a film circa 1925?

[Steven A Joyce]

Hello,
Does anyone know more about plans to make a film with the title Jinzo Ningen?From what little I can gather on the internet, the plans were aborted.
I'm especially interested to know if it was going to be a direct interpretation of Karel Čapek's R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). (I can't help but imagine that it would have been indirectly influenced by Čapek).
Any details whatsoever would be appreciated. Full disclosure: I'm writing a book on the worldwide performances of R.U.R. I will gladly give acknowledgement for assistance.
Best,Steve Joyce
