This film is believed lost.
Although some modern sources claim this film was photographed in Vitascope, the 65mm process used by Warner Bros. for 'Kismet (1930)' and 'The Lash (1930)', this is unlikely. Variety (14 May 1930) reports that wide screen projection was used for the festival sequence, but this is more likely another example of the frequently used Magnascope process, which simply enlarged standard 35mm film to larger proportions on a larger screen. This film was released almost six months before the other Vitascope productions, and there is no evidence that the process was ever used earlier and/or for less than a complete feature.
Theatrically released in the USA in some locations with Sinkin' in the Bathtub (1930) as the preceding cartoon.
The Broadway musical "Song of the Flame" opened at the Fourty-fourth Street Theatre (New York City) on December 30, 1925 and ran for 219 performances.
In September 1928, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased a majority interest
in First National Pictures and from that point on, all "First National" productions were actually made under Warner Bros. control, even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid-1930's, after which time "A Warner Bros.-First National Picture" was often used.
