Distribution
Distributed by Ideal, the film was released in British cinemas in August 1923.
It is believed to have been destroyed in 1924 along with most of Hepworth's other films. The producer, in serious financial difficulty, thought that this would at least allow him to recover the silver from the nitrate in the films.
