 The production of the film shows the continuing improvement of Thanhouser works , specifically for more realistic interior scenes , over those shot in the months prior . The progress referred to here is the improvement from works like The Two Roses . The interior sets are still very small , but the exterior shots show strength in their variety . Bowers believes that the uncommon surname , Snaith , is of some importance to Lonergan because of its reoccurring usage , including the titled works Miss Arabella Snaith and Professor Snaith . An analysis of the frame showing the newspaper advertisement shows that it was from a real newspaper dated from September 21 , 1910 . The title of the film might possibly be a reference to " Lord Stanley " , the courtesy title of the heir apparent of the Earl of Derby . At the time of the production Edward Stanley , Lord Stanley , was " Lord Stanley " .
