Production and filming


Producer William A. Brady was able to persuade the Alcott estate to allow Little Women to be adapted for stage and film. Brady first produced a stage play of the novel, which ran at the Playhouse Theatre in New York City for 18 months before touring the country. Director Harley Knoles filmed scenes inside of Louisa May Alcott's house in Concord.
