Early in the picture, Ellen, portrayed by Loretta Young, is discussing a blind date with Gracie, portrayed by Patsy Kelly. Ellen says she hopes the guy can dance. Gracie replies that the last one was a corporal that "was as handsome as Gable, and Gable ain't bad!" Ellen replies, "Oh I'll say not!" This discussion is ironic because when filming Call of the Wild (1935) the year before this film was released, Young had an affair with Clark Gable, leading to the birth of their daughter, Judy Lewis. Audiences at the time didn't realize the irony since this secret affair wasn't made public until years later.
Richard jokes that the local cinema in rural Maine shows "all the latest movies" including The Birth of a Nation (1915), which was made twenty years earlier.
The play originally was copyrighted as "Hush Money" in 1914.
Cleves Kinkead's play opened in Boston, Massachusetts, USA in January 1915. It moved to Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 26 August 1915 and closed in May 1916 after 316 performances. The cast included Mabel Colcord, Jane Cowl and Robert McWade.
