 The single reel drama, approximately 1,000 feet long, was released on October 25, 1910. The film was originally released a Young Lord Stanley, but the surviving print from the Library of Congress has "His Only Son" as what appears to be the title of the print. Bowers notes that this first card is in a different format from the other inter-titles which follow and may have been a replacement or alternate name for the print. The surviving print is 928 feet long, and its shown length is 13 minutes and 35 seconds. The film likely had a wide national release, advertising theaters are known in Kansas, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
