In late August 1920, Harron traveled by train from Los Angeles to New York City to attend the premiere of the film "Way Down East" and a preview of what would become his final film, "Coincidence". Harron checked into the Hotel Seymour on September 1 with his friend, screenwriter and director Victor Heerman, with whom he was sharing a room. Harron and Heerman attended the preview for "Coincidence" later that day. Heerman later said that the preview went poorly as the film was not well received by the audience.
