H. Krieger.[6] The play was revived in 1893.[7] The structure of the play was as follows:
Laurence Irving also wrote a play on Catchpole which premiered in 1911.[8] ProductionSpencer had produced three films based on plays by Alfred Dampier under the direction of Alfred Rolfe and wanted to make a fourth. However Rolfe left Spencer to run the Australian Photo-Play Company so Raymond Longford, who had worked on the earlier films as an actor, stepped in as director.[9] The movie was shot in July 1911.[10] No screenwriter was credited.[11] It enabled Lottie Lyell to demonstrate her skills as a horsewoman.[12] Spencer's own horse "Arno", specially imported from England, appears.[1] The first half of the film, the section set in England, survives today. Comprising 1,596 feet at 24 minutes it is the earliest surviving example of the work of Lyell and Raymond Longford.[13] ReleaseThe film was successful at the box office and received strong reviews. The critic from the Sydney Morning Herald stated that: Mr Spencer has now produced several Australian taken and manufactured pictures, all of which have been of highest class, but it is questionable if he has done anything better than his latest effort. From the first scene to the last the pictures are good, the flicker being reduced to a minimum... Set among charming old-world scenery with the quaint costumes of our great grandparents the opening scene of the May-day dance is a jewel picture, and the promise of the opening scene is fulfilled throughout. The cliff and water scenery one can safely say, has never been surpassed in Australian picture shows. Through all her varying tones, from peaceful home in England to happiness in Australia, Margaret is charming, and carries the sympathy of the audience with her. Last in the cast of characters, but far from last in the hearts of the audience, are the splendid horses that play so important a part in the story.[14] USA releaseIt was one of a number of Spencer films bought for release in the United States. Its title was changed to The Queen of the Smugglers.[15] References1. ^1 "Raymond Longford", Cinema Papers, January 1974 p51 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15263508 |title=Advertising. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=7 August 1911 |accessdate=8 December 2012 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article76809141 |title=THEATRE ROYAL. |newspaper=The Daily News (Perth, WA : 1882 - 1950) |location=Perth, WA |date=9 November 1911 |accessdate=1 July 2015 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13627264 |title=Advertising. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=19 February 1887 |accessdate=5 December 2012 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article12880763 |title=Advertising. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=10 July 1845 |accessdate=8 December 2012 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13627415 |title=AMUSEMENTS.
