Gaving had made four films in association with
Stanley Crick and
Herbert Finlay:
The Assigned Servant,
Ben Hall,
Frank Gardiner and
Keane of Kalgoorlie. The success of his enabled Crick to set up the Australian Photoplay Company who made
The Mark of the Lash. The movie was announced as being completed and available for screening by July 1911, but does not appear to have been released until the following year. ==Release==
