Cast list

Production

It was revealed in January 1914 that George Terwilleger would be directing the film. It was the first feature film of Terwilliger's career, and at the time, he was thought to be one of the youngest directors in Hollywood.[2][3]

Reception

Variety gave the film a poor review, feeling the story was "trite" and lacked action. Although they felt the film was well cast, they stated it "is not worth the sitting through".[4]
