Production Quotes

“The Man from Home, under the supervision of General Director Cecil B. DeMille, is working in Escondido, California.”

Reviews

“Cecil B. DeMille has injected quite a bit of drama into the quietly humorous play. Lasky’s director-general brings the story to approximately the same conclusion, but he travels a very different path in doing so, and the scenes that loom large along the way belong exclusively to the picture.”

– The New York Dramatic Mirror, November 18, 1914.
