Goofs:
Anachronisms: Although all the principals have costumes and hairstyles appropriate for around 1900, outside the theater the other patrons seem to be in modern (1923) dress. A recent-model automobile is even visible in the last exterior shot of the theater.

Quotes:
[Prologue title card]
Title card: I never truckled; I never took off the hat to Fashion and held it out for pennies. By God, I told them the truth. They liked it or they didn't like it. What had that to do with me? I told them the truth; I knew it for the truth then, and I know it for the truth now. FRANK NORRIS.

The restored version that is currently shown on TCM from time to time is the only version worth watching. While it's not complete, it has more footage than the print that has been floating around since 1925. The restored version runs a good 4 hours, with stills and titles, and is beautifully tinted. If you plan on seeing this, see the restored one, it is truly a powerful film.
