Did You Know?
| Trivia | When it was found without intertitles in the 1970s, the film was restored with the help of Jackie Coogan and Sol Lesser. New intertitles were created by Blackhawk Films. The version now seen on TCM is from a tinted original, with an excellent organ score by John Muri, copyright 1975 by the Eastin Phelan Corporation, and with the original opening credits and intertitles which were apparently located after the Blackhawk replacements were temporarily substituted, but which are no longer relevant.
