This film is fairly rare in collector circles, often overshadowed by other silent comedies of the era. Most prints that survive are not in pristine condition, which adds to the collector's intrigue. Given its unique themes and the odd charm it carries, it draws a niche but dedicated interest among collectors who appreciate the quirky and lesser-known works of early cinema. The multiple titles it has been referred to over the years only adds to its mystique.
