Biography
Biography
During the early 1920s, he worked on most of the screenplays for the Ideal Film Company, one of Britain's leading silent film studios. Despite being one of Britain's most prolific screenwriters, Stannard disappeared from the film industry in 1933 and little is known of his last decade, although there have been general appeals for more information concerning this period.
