Bean's play was published In Salt Lake City before its premier there. The production was not a success. It was restaged in Salt Lake the following year and numerous times in Utah over the next couple decades in various forms.[2]
Bean brought Corianton under the title An Aztec Romance to the Manhattan Opera House, premiering on September 16, 1912 and lasting for six performances.[3]
Lester Park developed Bean's play into a film titled Corianton: A Story of Unholy Love which played in Utah, beginning October 1, 1931 in Salt Lake City and October 2 in Richfield.[4][5]
Bean's widow Zoan Bean wrote a teleplay based on the play titled "Out of the Dust" during the 1960s.[1]
