Notes
This film was originally titled All in the Night. Winter Hall, Fannie Midgley, and Alice Knowland were listed as cast members in pre-release news articles. One contemporary source states that the film was based on Merwin's play All in the Night, but no evidence of that play's existence has been located. The short story "Dinner at Eight" was included in The Charmed Life of Miss Austin, published in New York in 1914.
