Note: Apart from this notice in the New Rochelle Evening Standard, February 15, 1915, little is known concerning the intended production of Uncle Jeremiah: "The 'Uncle Jeremiah' Company Thanhouser forces leave today for Niagara Falls enroute to California to be gone perhaps a couple of months. They are to make scenes in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Texas, San Diego, and other places enroute. It is to be a comedy-educational film. The company may even go down into Mexico if they have time. They intend to make pictures at the Panama Exposition and at the San Diego fair.

"The company consists of Harris Gordon, Mildred Heller, Mary Turner, Frances Keyes, George Welsh, James Murray, Charles W. Swan, and Roy Hauck, son of former fire commissioner and Mrs. Harry Hauck, known as the 'McCoy Kid' because he is a nephew of Nellie and Bessie McCoy (Mrs. Richard Harding Davis). Will H. Stevens is to direct, assisted by James J. Dunne, who is to be treasurer of the party. Lawrence Williams is to be the cameraman. Dunne and Williams are New Rochelle boys who have made good in their new professions and have been honored by this new responsibility." (This item is also reprinted in the narrative section of the present work.)
