This second incarnation of the Louisa May Alcott story was expensively produced by World Film, an independent company founded by famed Broadway producer William A. Brady (father of Alice Brady); unable to find a suitable distributor, it sat on the shelf for nearly a year before a deal was struck with Paramount Pictures' Artcraft, a division Adolph Zukor created exclusively for A-list product (lesser pictures were handed off under its Realart division), with the bulk of his mainstream productions released under the Paramount label. This three-tiered system was abolished within five years.
Lynn Hammond, who plays Prof. Baer, had previously played Mr. March on Broadway in 1912-13 and appeared in a 1916 Broadway revival.
Final film of Isabel Lamon.
This version much like the first from 1917 is also a lost film.
