About fifty minutes into the film, a plumber is shown flushing a toilet, and the flush is also heard - one of the earliest pictures to do so.
A print of this film survives in the UCLA Film and Television Archives.
Based on the play, "The Aviator," which ran on Broadway in 1910.
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.
