Additional info re 1926-early 1927 production activity
I am trying to add a paragraph to this entry covering the film's production status in 1926 and early 1927. When I try to insert the new text, many of the footnotes in the existing entry seem to disappear. I'm not sure how to fix this. Here's the new paragraph I'm trying to add:

There are no known references to the film’s production during 1926. In early 1927, however, Kean resumed shooting on the BC coast. Between February and April, he shot and re-shot sequences on Vancouver Island; these scenes dealt with drug smuggling, with Victoria Harbour and other local waterfronts used as locations. In April or May, he was filming near the RCMP barracks in Point Grey, where another stockade replica had been erected for re-takes of the whiskey trader sequence. Additional footage was also shot on a farm in Ladner, south of Vancouver.[1]

CONTINUE WITH EXISTING TEXT: In April 1927, Kean mortgaged the 16,000 feet of existing footage for a $3,500 loan to finance the film's completion.
