This film was noted for the first "running staircase" (escalator) used in films.
Restoration work was carried out at L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2013.
The Floorwalker (1916) has been restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Lobster Films, from a safety fine grain preserved at The Museum of Modern Art.
Some fragments were added from a nitrate print preserved at Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique.
Intertitles have been reconstructed according to the original Mutual Film intertitles and documents of the Library of Congress.
The surviving elements come from two different negatives. Negative A was restored whenever possible while negative B was used to reconstruct missing or severely damaged shots.
