The New Rochelle Pioneer, January 16, 1915, reported that Will Stevens was directing Helen Badgley in a scenario he had written for her, in which she was to play the part of a little boy. The picture was released two months later as Little Bobby. Over a period of time, Stevens worked with several different stage and film companies.
