Behind the camera, cinematographers William C. Foster, who had filmed three early Chaplin movies and then more than a dozen for director Lloyd, and George Schneiderman turned New Jersey stages into nineteenth-century France, proving you didn’t need Paris to capture Paris. For the Storming of the Bastille scene, Lloyd enlisted a battalion of seventy-five U.S. soldiers ready to sail off to war in Europe, costumed them in French royalist uniforms and filmed the group defending the Bastille. Outside location filming for the Toulon Prison rock quarry scene at the popular Palisades Park of New Jersey looked familiar to audiences as the location for the “cliffhanger” scenes from the series The Perils of Pauline (1914). Originally ninety minutes, informal city and state censorship boards demanded the cutting of some suggestive intertitles and scenes; the surviving material is now seventy-one minutes.
