Remarks and general Information in German: Dieser Titel findet sich in den "Braff Silent Short Film Working Papers" [N° 21915], Braff's "The Universal Silents" [N° 7827] bei IMDB und in einer polnischen Filmographie zu Rex Ingram. Er wird auch bei Philippe Pelletier für «Les Gens du Cinéma» (23/03/2004) zitiert mit RI als Regisseur sowie Ella Hall als Schauspielerin. Lauritzen gibt nur die Produktion "Rex" an, keine weiteren Stabangaben.

Die Angaben sind zweifelhaft. Die voraussichtliche Drehzeit war wohl Juni-Juli 1914, in dieser Zeit war Ingram bei Vitagraph beschäftigt. Ingram's erste nachgewiesene Regie war 1916 bei Universal, falls man das Projekt im Herbst 1915 bei Fox ausser Betracht lässt.

Zudem war Robert Z. Leonard bei den meisten Projekten um 1914/15 mit Ella Hall sein eigener Regisseur. Otis Turner führte in dem vorangegangenen Film "An Awkward Cinderella" Regie.

In den Galveston Daily News vom 16. August 1914 finden sich detaillierte Angaben zu den Schauspielern des Film, u.a. Lloyd Ingraham als "The Rich Man", allerdings auch hier keine Angabe zur Regie.
