Production
Triangle Film Corporation produced Peggy. Victor L. Schertzinger composed the film's score. In conjunction with the film's release, sheet music of a song, Peggy, was published, the first time a song based on a silent film's incidental music had been written and published.[2] The cover of the sheet music shows Schertzinger as the composer and Ince as the lyricist.
A Wright Model B airplane was used as a wind machine. The airplane was tethered to the ground while its engine and propellers were run.
