A worldwide success, it premiered in Germany at the opening night of the Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz( Berlin's first purpose- built, free- standing cinema), on 19 March 1913.
In an unusual departure from normal cinematic practice, the crowd scenes were reinforced with" special mobs" of live costumed actors in the auditorium.
