The film played in Rotterdam at the Parisien Theater from January 24 to 30, 1913, followed by a run at Amsterdam's Cinema Palace from February 28 to March 6. At the same time, at least one print was working its way through New Zealand, where it played in Sydenham in late February, in Whanganui in March, and in North Otago in May.
