 Flashback: With what was then an innovative matte effect. When Adeline and Frank are confronting each other at the end, her memory plays out as a flashback clip in the upper left corner of the screen. When he explains about the letter he left, his memory plays out as well.

 Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Not even mentioned as a possibility. Abortion was the topic of another film from 1916, Where Are My Children?.

 Altar the Speed: Frank's disappearance right around the time Adeline finds out she's pregnant causes her to cave and marry Scapin—at least until she becomes a Runaway Bride.
