 It was directed by a Newcastle exhibitor who shared Wilcox's enthusiasm for D. W. Griffith, Jack Graham Cutts; he and Wilcox established Graham-Wilcox Productions.Wilcox sold the film for £4,000 and the premiere got excellent reviews.This enabled Wilcox to raise funds for a slate of films, before "The Wonderful Story" was released and flopped at the box office.
