Following the successful telecasts of Othello (1922) and The Eagle (1925), New York City's WJZ (Channel 7), began a weekly series of Sunday evening silent film feature presentations, shown more or less in their entirety, which aired intermittently for the next twelve months. This feature was initially broadcast Sunday 2 January 1949, and, like the rest of the series, aired simultaneously on sister stations WFIL (Channel 6) (Philadelphia), freshly launched WAAM (Channel 13) (Baltimore), and, the following Thursday 6 January 1949, on WMAL (Channel 7) (Washington DC), an innovation at the time; the following week's selection would be Young April (1926), the final entry in this particular series.
