Notes
The working title of this film was Pride. Sources disagree concerning the literary source of this film, stating both that it was from a novel by an English author, and that scenarist William B. Courtney wrote the story especially for actress Alice Joyce. Some sources stated that the story was adapted by Mr. and Mrs. George Randolph Chester. Variety called Chester, who was Vitagraph's scenario editor, the "overlord" of this film, and implied that he was responsible for the film's tone.
