Some confusion exists as to who played Tenterden in the film. Film Daily and Variety lists Boyd Irwin in the role, but the New York Times and the Call Bureau Cast Service credit 'William Stack'. In the viewed print, it is clearly 'William Stack'.

Some cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Wilson Benge (Butler), Leo G. Carroll (Senate head) and Harry Allen & Dan Maxwell (Stone buyers).

Quotes

Mr. David Wylie: That's the way I like to hear you talk. A young Scotsman turned loose on the world with three hundred pounds. What could he not do? It's appalling to think of. Especially if he went among the English.
