Produced by Lewis and Gordon. Produced in association with Sam Harris. Note: This was a major hit of the 1925-26 Broadway season, attracting the attention of Warner Brothers (specifically Sam Warner) who deemed it perfect a property to showcase the Vitaphone synchronized sound-on-disk process (see The Jazz Singer (1927) for trivia). Jessel's salary demands for the film were deemed excessive and the pivotal role of "Jack Robin" passed to Al Jolson.
