Themes

D. W. Griffith did not always portray Mexican characters in a negative light; however, in this film they are portrayed as a threat to white families and women.[3] The film is more complex in this regard that previous Griffith work.[4]

Production

The cast was considered to be quite large for a short film under two reels.[5] This is one of three D. W. Griffith films that Bert Hendler appeared in.[6] The cast also included Mae Marsh, who worked with Griffith on many films, including The Birth of a Nation. She was one of his favorites and in a 1923 interview, Griffith noted that "Mae Marsh was born a film star."[7]
