It was well received and was a "prestige" picture for Universal. Tom Mix's and Buck Jones"western pictures were top moneymakers for Fox. William Farnum was slipping with the fans, and John Gilbert was winning new ones. He appeared in a new film version of "The Count of Monte Cristo." Clara Kimball Young, after a series of Metro pictures unworthy of her talents, embarked on a very responsive "personal appearance" tour. Pauline Frederick and Eugene O'Brien returned to the stage. Norma and Constance Talmadge were still First National's top draws. Newcomers included Constance Bennett, Billie Dove and William Haines.
