Production
editIn the pre-release version of the film, Marjorie Daw played Cooper's character, Maud Barhyte. Apparently, a decision was made to emphasis Maud in the film over the Ruth Clifford character Sally Malakoff, which resulted in the change in cast for the released version of the film.[2][3]
