Following the successful telecasts of Othello (1922) and The Eagle (1925), New York City's WJZ (Channel 7), began a weekly series of Sunday evening silent film feature presentations, shown more or less in their entirety, which aired intermittently for the next twelve months. This feature was initially broadcast Sunday 12 December 1948, and, like the rest of the series, aired simultaneously on sister stations WFIL (Channel 6) (Philadelphia) and freshly launched WAAM (Channel 13) (Baltimore), as well as in Washington DC the following Thursday 16 December 1948 on WMAL (Channel 7),an innovation at the time; the following week's selection would be Peck's Bad Boy (1921). This film was initially telecast in Chicago Wednesday 30 March 1949 on WENR (Channel 7) as part of their Flicker Favorites series.
