Advertisements claimed that the film would be released September 28, 1914, by Paramount Pictures, but this apparently never occurred.
Intertitles confirm that the cast included Violet MacMillan as Timothy, or Bud, who becomes king of Noland due to a legal loophole; Mildred Harris as his sister, Margaret, or Fluff; Fred Woodward as Nicodemus, the mule, and possibly some other animals as well, and Vivian Reed as Quavo, the minstrel.
16 mm prints of this film are distributed by Em Gee and have been released on home video in various formats with different, and sometimes no, musical accompaniments.
One of the surviving prints of the film (housed at the Library of Congress) consists of 3 reels, which translates to 38 minutes runtime, at 18 frames per second).
In 2009, a longer version of the film was released on DVD and Blu-ray (though not in high definition) as part of the Ultimate Collector's Editions of The Wizard of Oz.
