Preservation
After being unavailable to the public for many decades, the film was screened at the Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto, California, on August 24, 2007 (on a double bill with Denny's 1925 film I'll Show You the Town), and again on August 13, 2014.[3][4] In both cases, the films were introduced and accompanied by the organist Dennis James. A double bill of That's My Daddy and I'll Show You the Town was again run at the Stanford on June 9, 2025, to honor the theatre's hundredth year of operation; Denny's granddaughter, Kimberly Pucci, was in attendance.[5]
