Release Date in 1919 or 1918?[edit]

The article has a May 19, 1919 release date, but the IMDb lists a USA release date of April 6, 1918. Stills from the film under its various working titles also appear in early 1918 magazines (noted in article). Its filming may have been completed in 1918 but the release delayed with the disruptions caused by the Spanish Flu epidemic, end of WW1, and financing problems with the downturn in the motion picture industry at that time. The continuous renaming of the film (the IMDb lists 6 working titles) may also indicate issues with its plot which may have also caused a delay in its release. It appears that additional research is needed to difinatively establish the correct release date, perhaps from the section of contemprorary film magazines or other publications that list films in current release for this World Film production. Any verifiable information would be appreciated. Deanlaw (talk) 15:44, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
