Cast
- Francis J. Noonan as Theodore Roosevelt (child)

Production
During production, William Nigh received permission to access much of Theodore Roosevelt’s personal possessions. This allowed the film to reveal new information about the former president. Roosevelt himself authorized the film with the hope that the film’s earnings would go to “patriotic organizations”, such as the Red Cross. He died one week later.[2][3]
