Lonergan was an experienced newspaperman still employed by The New York Evening World while writing scripts for the Thanhouser productions.

Barry O'Neil was the stage name of Thomas J. McCarthy, who would direct many important Thanhouser pictures, including its first two-reeler, Romeo and Juliet.

Blair Smith was the first cameraman of the Thanhouser company, but he was soon joined by Carl Louis Gregory who had years of experience as a still and motion picture photographer.

The surviving print had only a French language title card "Les Deux Roses" and was devoid of intertitles.

New German intertitles were added by Urte Alfs and Anke Mebold of the Deutsches Filminstitut based on the published synopsis from The Moving Picture World.
