Thanks China and Prue I was working on the assumption that the word on the clapper board was more likely to be the director rather than the film name.

I have found an image with Georges Carpentier in it but can not post it up as it is copyright to the Getty collection in which Georges is involved in a fight scene. What it does show however is that the figure by the post-chaise is that of Georges who was, at the time of the film being produced, the world light heavyweight boxing champion (1920-1922). The date of the image that I have found puts the film as being made in the January of 1922.

Also have you noticed that there is writing just in front of the clapper boy and it is being masked by the mud?

Many thanks to everyone for there interest and information. I presumed that the black on the clapperboard referred to the film not the director that is why I could not find any information on it.

This is a postcard, the writing on the front says Wakefields broadway Hanwell. On the rear of the card it says, photo by Wakefields the broadway Hanwell w7 ( opposite the grand theatre ).

Thanks Chriss.
