I cannot prove the location of this film but can supply the following information:
In 1932 I KNOW J W Jackson (of Lancashire Lads/Charlie Chaplin fame)with wife Mary & son John Hockley Jackson lived at 29 Spencer Park, SW18 - a large detached property in leafy Wandsworth so it is quite possible that this address was the location for this wonderful piece of history (Source: view Ancestry.co.uk - London Electoral Lists).
Mary ran dancing schools & trained the dancers for J W's troupes of dancers both in the West End and elsewhere (Source: Ancestry.co.uk Electoral Lists). Source: Stage Magazine - also has many articles about their very successful lives covering many many years. I know all this as J W, Mary & John H Jackson were my uncle aunt and cousin and I spent many happy childhood holidays at their second seaside home in Sussex as well as visits to their plush London home in Pimlico.
I'd be interested in finding other of their old films, if any exist.
regards,
Teri
