"'Zudora' Published as a Song." "Should it become one of the popular pieces of the day it would indeed be an excellent advertisement for both the film and the story, and Miss Snow, the dainty detective, will be even more endeared to the hearts of her many followers through it."
Some surviving episodes of Zudora are available from Thanhouser Company Film Preservation:
