Notes

According to an ad in Moving Picture World, this film's cast was made up entirely of children, ages 7 to 13. The ad for the film calls it "A Novelty Feature." It is unclear whether this is a description of the film or the name of the company that produced it. No company by that name has been uncovered and World May have made it themselves.
