It is miraculous that this is the only lost film in the Keaton silent collection, which consisted of 35 two-reelers and 13 features. Recently two films thought lost for years resurfaced (THE COOK, A RECKLESS ROMEO). HIS WEDDING NIGHT (1917) remains the only Keaton silent not available on video, but it is included in a DVD two-disc collection of the Arbuckle/Keaton shorts.
