The 5 Jun 1920 Moving Picture World reported the impending start of production at Brunton Studios in Hollywood, CA. An advertisement in the 28 Jun 1921 Wid’s Daily credited Ernest Shipman as producer. As stated in the 18 Sep 1920 Motion Picture News, the source novel, The Tiger's Coat by Elizabeth Dejeans, was serialized in the Pictorial Review from Nov 1916 through Feb 1917.
       The close of production was noted in the 19 Jun 1920 Wid’s Daily. One month later, the 19 Jul 1920 issue reported that the negative had been “shipped East,” although the exact destination was not disclosed. On 16 Oct 1920, Dial Film Co. president Otto Bollman announced in the Motion Picture News that the film was ready for release.
       According to the 1 Jan 1921 issue, a “special motion picture edition” of the source novel, illustrated with still photographs from the film, was set for publication by the Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. A printing of 500,000 copies was planned. In addition, the 5 Feb 1921 Exhibitors Herald stated that distributor W. W. Hodkinson Corp. was offering free local advertising for exhibitors who were in need of “concentrated publicity” but did not have a marketing department.
       The 25 Dec 1920 Exhibitors Herald reported high approval among exhibitors and “unprecedented” advance bookings. The picture was currently showing in Southern California theaters on the Broadway Amusement Company circuit. The 11 Dec 1920 and 25 Dec 1920 editions of Moving Picture World also reported bookings by the Saenger Amusement Company of New Orleans, LA, and Loew’s Theatres Incorporated, based in New York City.
