Remarks and general Information in German: Die genannte Schauspielerin "Alice Terry" ist nicht die Alice Terry (=Taaffe), sondern Alice Rodier, die sich ebenfalls "Alice Terry" nannte.
Alice Terry hatte, wie sie selbst erklärte, bei Vitagraph gespielt. Zudem spielte sie 1917 noch eher unbedeutende Komparsenrollen unter ihrem richtigen Namen Alice Taafe, eine Namensnennung auf einem Dia ist da eher unwahrscheinlich.
Der genannte "Bigelow Cooke" ist vermutlich Bigelow Cooper, dies ist aber nicht nachgewiesen.
Der Film ist vermutlich verloren. [lhg 2012]
