 Paul Terry (I) told the story of how he tried to sell this, his  first film. He screened it for Lewis J. Selznick, a  producer/distributor, who then offered Terry one dollar a foot. When  Terry protested that the film cost him more than a dollar a foot,  Selznick replied, "I could pay you more for it if you hadnt put  those pictures on it." Eventually, Terry sold it to Thanhouser for  $1.35 a foot.
