During the shot of the father leaving the hotel, a dip can be seen in the road in the background. Today, that is currently the exit for the George Washington Bridge, and the location of the hotel is now an apartment complex.

This film is posted online to the Library of Congress' National Screening Room.

A fairly direct adaptation of the play Au Téléphone (At the Telephone) by André de Lorde, first published in 1902 and a staple of the Theatre du Grand Guignol in Paris. A later effort by D.W. Griffith, The Lonely Villa (1909), would use many of the same story elements.

Released as a split reel along with A New Trick (1909).

17-year-old Mary Pickford plays the eldest daughter while her future first husband, Owen Moore, plays one of the burglars.
