Trivia:

Pioneer screen actress Florence Lawrence is said to have an uncredited bit part in this film. The only visible role of any consequence in which she might be identified is that of a customer in Mandel's Emporium who is trying on a corset, but whether or not this is her cannot be confirmed.

The 25 Year Old Clark Gable

This is the last of Gable silent films. He split up with his wife and mentor, Josephine Dillon, because the extra work had dried up. It appeared as though Hollywood had no room for him. He went back to the theatre for five years and returned to Los Angeles to try out for his next film in 1931.
