Notes

This film was largely shot on location in Jacksonville, Fl. A copy of the play Audrey, by Harriet Ford and E. F. Boddington, which opened in New York on November 24, 1902, was included in the studio records for this film, although there is no indication in any sources that it served as a basis for the motion picture.
       Austrian-born actress Margarete Christians (1900-1916) made her feature film debut in Audrey. She went back to Europe in the 1920s, but returned to the U.S. in 1933, after the Nazis came to power in Germany. Using the stage name Mady Christians, she made several American films during the 1930s and 1940s.
