Production notes
Silent film.
Based on character produced by George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948) for the British Magazine "The Sketch" in 1921. Bonzo was originally just called "The Studdy Dog," but named in 1922 because of reader demand! Images of Bonzo later appeared in children's books, advertisements, postcards, games, etc. Producer William A. Ward collaborated with Studdy to produce 26 films featuring Bonzo for New Era Films; these were released from late 1924 and until the end of 1925. Bonzo appeared in print until the late 1920s and re-emerged in several annuals from just before World War II until shortly after Studdy's death (drawn by other artists).
