This movie was considered lost until the original nitrate print was discovered decades later.
Film scholar Donald Bogle called this movie quite possibly the best independent black film of the silent era.
While appearing in this film, Lucia Lynn Moses was commuting back and forth between the studio in Philadelphia and a chorus-line spot at the Cotton Club in New York City.
This film has been preserved by the Library of Congress.
Rene Baker, founder of the Chicago Modern Orchestra Project was tasked to create a new score for the film. The project originated at Indiana University-Bloomington, where Baker had done some research at its Black Film Center/Archive. The archive and IU Cinema then commissioned Baker to compose the new score. Its world premiere was November 4, 2017, with Baker conducting an orchestra of students from IU's Jacobs School of Music.
