Democracy Film Company production; distributed by Bookertee Film Exchange. / Scenario by Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, from a screen story by Captain Leslie T. Peacocke. / Released 20 July 1919. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format. / Working title: [?] Democracy; or, A Fight for Right? The film was retitled Loyal Hearts in late 1919 or early 1920, and may have been cut to five or six reels. At approximately this time, L-KO Pictures Corporation contracted with Democracy Film Company to distribute the film, which was cut to five reels, dialectically retitled the film to emphasize a different interpretation of the characters and action, possibly inserted new footage, and advertised the film as a comedy — it is unclear whether L-Ko changed the film’s title to Loyal Hearts at this time. Democracy Film Company sued L-Ko to shut down distribution of the unauthorized version of the film, with unknown results. Some scenes may have been shot the the E&R Jungle Studio in Los Angeles, California.
