Background

The film was considered lost until a print surfaced in Yugoslavia in the 1970s.^[1] The print lacked intertitles, which were subsequently restored by Blackhawk Films with the help of Jackie Coogan and Sol Lesser.

Coogan was at the height of his career during the filming, having played the title role in Charles Chaplin's The Kid the previous year.^[2]

DVD release

On June 30, 2009, a Region 0 DVD of the movie was released by Alpha Video.^[3]
