Biography

Ralph Lewis (époux de l'actrice Vera Lewis) entame sa carrière d'acteur au théâtre et joue à Broadway (New York) dans cinq pièces à partir de 1899. La dernière est The Fight de Bayard Veiller (avec Harrison Ford et Margaret Wycherly), représentée en 1912. Entretemps, citons When Knighthood Was in Flower (avec Frank Reicher et Tyrone Power Sr.), adaptation du roman éponyme de Charles Major , jouée en 1904 ; à noter que la même année, il collabore à une autre adaptation de ce roman en opéra-comique, titré A Madcap Princess.

Au cinéma, il contribue à cent-soixante-dix films américains, majoritairement muets (dont des courts métrages), le premier sorti en 1912. Mentionnons Naissance d'une nation de D. W. Griffith (1915, avec Lillian Gish et Henry B. Walthall), Dans les bas-fonds de Sidney Franklin (1919, avec Mary Pickford et Kenneth Harlan), Eugénie Grandet de Rex Ingram (1921, avec Alice Terry et Rudolph Valentino), ou encore L'Éveil de la bête d'Arthur Rosson (1921, avec Betty Compson et Claire McDowell).

Après le passage au parlant, Ralph Lewis tient des petits rôles (parfois non crédités) jusqu'en 1937, année où il meurt d'un accident de la route. Son dernier film est Les Flibustiers de Cecil B. DeMille (avec Fredric March et Akim Tamiroff), sorti en 1938. Signalons aussi quelques westerns, dont Somewhere in Sonora de Mack V. Wright (1933, avec John Wayne et Henry B. Walthall).

Barkley "Bark" (Victor Moore) and Lucy Cooper (Beulah Bondi) are an elderly couple who lose their home to foreclosure, as Barkley has been unable to find employment because of his age. They summon four of their five children—the fifth lives thousands of miles away in California—to break the news and decide where they will live until they can get back on their feet. Only one of the children, Nell (Minna Gombell), has enough space for both, but she asks for three months to talk her husband into the idea. In the meantime, the temporary solution is for the parents to split up and each live with a different child.
