Again, not a review, but, when this film was shown at the Imperial, Walsall, Staffordshire, England in October 1926 it was shown "complete and without any drastic cuts as made in Birmingham", and had scenes in natural colouring, produced by an entirely new process which caused no flicker or strain to the eyes. As we all know, colour processes at this time were not always successful or even popular with audiences, so it is possible that a colour-free version was also available. The Imperial was a cinema constantly seeking ways to attract patrons who might otherwise go to its newer, more classy neighbour, The Picture House. The film was described as "stupendous" and a vocalist from a London theatre was employed to accompany it for some reason not explained.
