Production background

This was one of the few two-reel films produced by Lee DeForest in Phonofilm due to problems with changeovers when the film was projected in theaters. In June 1923, DeForest and the film's cinematographer Freeman Harrison Owens became embroiled in a legal battle over the Phonofilm process and patents.
