Production
The film was in production by October 1915. For one of the scenes, Vitagraph blew up a motor yacht off of Staten Island in Princess Bay. The 100-foot yacht, the Wayward had been a racing yacht, having won several races in Bermuda.[2] In early January 1916 it was announced that the picture would be released on January 10.[3]
