Production

In the pre-release version of the film, Marjorie Daw played Cooper's character, Maud Barhyte. Apparently, a decision was made to emphasis Maud in the film over the Ruth Clifford character Sally Malakoff, which resulted in the change in cast for the released version of the film.[2][3]

Preservation

edit

With no prints of Daughters of the Rich located in any film archives,[4] it is a lost film.
