 | | Twickenham Film Studios was built on the site of a converted ice-skating rink at St Margaret's, East Twickenham, Middlesex. |
 | | With guaranteed capital of £40,000 and an eye on the overseas market, Twickenham’s advertising manager was dispatched to America to engage experienced producers and directors, whilst Jupp acquired the services of actor John East as a casting manager, and through him, hired Percy Nash, an experienced producer. |
 | | During the war years, the Ideal Company leased the studio's one stage for a period of time with producers Fred Paul and Maurice Elvey making films such as Dombey And Son (1917), Her Greatest Performance (1917) and Masks And Faces (1918), made to raise funds for the building of The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. |
