According to an article in The New York Star, August 8, 1914, Carey L. Hastings, the well-known Thanhouser actress, had worked in films with seven sets of twins during the preceding year, including the Wilson twins. The Wilson twins were a boy and a girl just seven months old, who “howled to their hearts’ content all through one tense situation” during filming, the same article noted.
