Goofs
The movie presents Ronald DeVore as a selfish status-oriented man who would probably insist on Mary's wearing her marriage rings all the time, yet in the scenes of Mary being assisted in preparing for her wedding and of her standing with Ronald at the alter, she is not wearing an engagement ring.
Alternate Versions
In addition to the 'My Vampire' and 'My Flapper' sequences, there was a third interlude involving the girl with the curls, where Harold finds her as a Mary Pickford-type milk maid. The scene does not survive (it was cut after a preview) but a photograph of the scene has appeared in several publications.
