Trivia
Margarita Fischer, past 40, came out of a two-year retirement, at the request of her husband, director Harry S. Pollard, to play the role of Eliza, but despite heavy makeup and soft-focus photography, could no longer disguise the passing of time, and never made another film. Ironically, she was only two years younger than Eulalie Jensen, the actress who played her mother.

What a great movie

Harry Pollard is my great uncle, and Margarita Fisher is my great aunt,I loved the movie and i couldnt belive that they had this on video.I remember as a kid all the stories and pictures about my aunt and uncle that my grandmother Katherine Havens would tell me and to see all this on the internet just blew me away. I had no idea that anyone really knew who they were or cared.

Thanks gina
