The Writing on the Wall is a 1910 American silent short drama produced by the Thanhouser Company.

Lonergan was an experienced newspaperman still employed by The New York Evening World while writing scripts for the Thanhouser productions.

O'Neil would direct many important Thanhouser pictures, including its first two-reeler, Romeo and Juliet.

Film historian Q. David Bowers does not attribute a cameraman for this production, but two possible candidates exist.

Blair Smith was the first cameraman of the Thanhouser company, but he was soon joined by Carl Louis Gregory who had years of experience as a still and motion picture photographer.

[5] An article in The Moving Picture World over a botched scene identifies Barry O'Neil as the director who stunned the studio workers.

[7][8] It is unknown if published reviews for this work exist, but there is an absence of a citation Bowers or the American Film Institute catalogs.

[1][9] Given this absence, it is possible that additional details or commentary can be obtained from advertisements or local newspapers outside of typical trade publications.
