The two children of Tyrone Power Sr. and his co-star and real-life wife Helen Reaume (aka, Mrs. Tyrone Power), appear in this film: their newborn daughter Anne Power and their two-year-old son Tyrone Power, who became a matinee idol from the 1930s to the 1950s. He appears in the last minute and a half of the movie as a "ghost child".
The trial of the doctor in the film for sending birth-control booklets through the mails paralleled the Margaret Sanger case in 1915, when she was tried for the same reason.
The movie was banned in Pennsylvania on the grounds it would tend to corrupt morals, even after several edits were submitted to the state's censors. The National Board of Review passed the film for adults only. A district attorney in Brooklyn, New York sued to keep this film from being shown. Universal won the case.
The bridge where the doctor observes a woman jumping is actually the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California. In the early 20th century it was known among local residents as a suicide bridge.
Universal's most successful release of 1916.
