Some publicity photos from the film show Dane with Buster Keaton, but it is not clear whether Keaton had a cameo in the film that was later cut or merely posed with Dane for a photo while visiting the set.[3]
One copy of the film, with sound discs, is in the collection of the UCLA Film and Television Archive.[4] The Library of Congress database lists no copies.[5]
