This was RKO Radio's first release.
Released as a "Radio Picture" during the period when FBO was transforming into Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO). A sizable hit, this was the first commercial test of RCA's Photophone sound system, which was the reason for RCA's hefty financial interest in RKO. The first "official" RKO production would be their next release, Street Girl (1929).
Fred Waring established an archive for his recordings, films, and other items in the library at his alma mater, Penn State.
One of two known 35mm prints exists in a Russian Archive.
