Directed by Rowland V. Lee, the film starred Bessie Love.

[3] Julia Atwater (Love) is the most popular girl in her Midwestern small town.

[3][4][5][6][7][8] Love was cast because she was "the last girl in Hollywood with long hair", although she was unaware of this and got an "Eton crop" haircut before filming commenced.

[11][12][13] Love's performance drew mixed reviews, with some giving her praise, and others deeming her as miscast.

[1][11] Arthur's performance as the young niece drew rave reviews.
