Biography

Par ailleurs actrice de théâtre, Lillian Elliott s'installe aux États-Unis et y entame sa carrière au cinéma durant la période du muet, contribuant alors à dix-sept films américains (dont des courts métrages) sortis entre 1915 et 1927.

De cette première période, mentionnons Fraternité de King Vidor (1925, avec Eleanor Boardman et Harrison Ford), Partners Again d'Henry King (1926, avec Allan Forrest et Robert Schable) et le court métrage Le Chant du coucou de Clyde Bruckman (1927, avec Laurel et Hardy).

Après le passage au parlant, elle apparaît dans quarante-six autres films américains, les quatre premiers sortis en 1930, dont Liliom de Frank Borzage (avec Charles Farrell et Rose Hobart). Suivent notamment Polly of the Circus d'Alfred Santell (1932, avec Marion Davies et Clark Gable), Monsieur Bébé de Norman Taurog (1933, avec Maurice Chevalier et Helen Twelvetrees) et La Lumière verte de Frank Borzage (1937, avec Errol Flynn et Anita Louise). Son dernier film sort en 1943, après quoi elle se retire.

En 1900, Lillian Elliott épouse l'acteur américain James Corrigan (1867-1929), dont elle reste veuve jusqu'à son propre décès à Hollywood en 1959, à 84 ans. De leur union sont nés deux enfants, l'aîné étant Lloyd Corrigan (1900-1969), également acteur.

Errol Flynn stars as Dr. Newell Paige, a surgeon whose refusal to name the real culprit in an operation gone fatally awry results in the ruin of his career. Dismissed from the hospital staff, Paige leaves Massachusetts and travels to Montana to assist a researcher in Rocky Mountain spotted fever, almost dying when he subjects himself to an experimental serum. Anita Louise stars as Phyllis Dexter, his eventual love interest, and Cedric Hardwicke as Dean Harcourt, an Anglican clergyman and radio preacher whose advice Dr. Paige at first dismisses, then later realizes is the truth. The film ends with Paige, returned to his former post and cleared of all charges, and Phyllis seated in the cathedral, listening to Dean Harcourt quoting a Psalm, followed by the St. Luke choristers' amen.

Mrs. Wiggs (Lord), facing eviction, scrabbles for survival with her number of children and hopes for the return of her husband, who left many years before, looking for gold in the Klondike. The family owns the shack but it has a mortgage of $25 (in 1901, about $675 in today's money) and the evil moneylender is threatening them. Mrs. Wiggs is a laundress but can't manage to save enough back because whatever extra money she gets is used to help others, often animals. The oldest son, James, has worked hard all his life, but now is seriously ill with tuberculosis. The little girls are all named "out of geography", Europena (Virginia Weidler), Asia (Carmencita Johnson) and Australia (Edith Fellows). The second-oldest boy, Billy (Jimmy Butler), is something of an entrepreneur. When he finds a spavined and dying horse he brings it home and the family nurses it back to reasonable health, naming it Cuba. Neighbor Tabitha Hazy (ZaSu Pitts) seeks a husband and takes out a subscription to "The Matrimonial Guide", the 1901 version of a dating service.

Clare, Lady Corven (Diana Wynyard) and Sir Gerald Corven (Colin Clive) are to all outward appearances a happily married upper class British couple. But privately, Lady Clare's husband is physically and emotionally abusive toward her, and one day she can take no more, and walks out of the relationship. Clare books passage on a ship, where she is befriended by a kind and handsome young man, Tony Croom (Frank Lawton). Though their relationship remains strictly platonic, Tony displays strong feelings for Lady Corven, which are duly noted by a private detective hired by Sir Gerald to keep tabs on his wife. Sir Gerald threatens to paint Clare's relationship with Tony in an unflattering light in court, this being a time when divorce was considered scandalous, especially among England's "privileged" classes.
