Actress. She was best known for playing the role of neighbors and women of distinction. She will be best remembered for playing the role of 'Lady Alicia Fairfax' in the classic film drama, "Jordan Is A High Road" (1915). The film which was directed by and which was written for the screen by Allan Dwan, which was based on the novel by Gilbert Parker, and which also starred Dorothy Gish, Frank Campeau, and Sarah Truax, tells the story of a bandit who reforms himself and gives up his baby into better hands. Years later, he attempts to reunite with his daughter without revealing who he is. She was born in Texas on April 25, 1888. She began her acting career on Broadway in New York City, New York, where she appeared in the stage production of the play, "The Prima Donna" (April 17, 1901, to May 18, 1901). During her time on Broadway, she worked with the likes of Madeline Bouton, Charles B. Bowers, Etta Butler, William Cameron, William P. Carleton, Herbert Cawthorne, Toby Claude, Gilbert Clayton, Mabel Courtney, Mazie Follette, Lulu Glaser, Catherine Lewis, Hattie Moore, Eugene Redding, Blanche West, and A.H. Chamberlyn. She then made the transition to films and began working with film director D.W. Griffith at his Fine Arts Film Company in Beverly Hills, California. She made her actual film debut playing the role of 'Louise' in the short film drama, "At The Postern Gate" (1915). The film which was directed by Lloyd Ingraham, and which also starred Teddy Sampson, Maxfield Stanley, Ray Myers, and George C. Pearce, tells the story of at the postern gate, a couple named Antoinette and Argyle meet in secret. There, also, twenty-five years before, Louise and Jacques, the mother of the girl and the father of the boy, kept their rendezvous. Then, on the eve of their marriage, Jacques deserted Louise for a wealthy bride preferred by his family. Louise also married another. But always her heart has been filled with bitterness against her girlhood sweetheart. Louise now determines that Antoinette shall marry the rich young Philippe. Philippe warns the girl's mother that Antoinette is meeting Argyle in secret. Philippe, proving a coward, Louise garbed as a man, challenges Argyle to a duel. But the son of her old lover sees through her disguise and does not thrust back. Antoinette intervenes just in time to save her sweetheart's life. Louise, her vengeance spent, becomes reconciled with Jacques, and the young people are married. Besides, playing the role of 'Lady Alicia Fairfax' in the classic film drama, "Jordan Is A High Road" (1915), and playing the role of 'Louise' in the short film drama, "At The Postern Gate" (1915), her many other film credits include playing the role of 'Alice-A Neighbor' in the short film drama, "The Stab" (1915), which starred Irene Hunt, Margery Wilson, and William Hinckley, and the short film comedy romance drama, "A Son of Erin" (1916), which also starred Dustin Farnum, Winifred Kingston, and Tom Bates. Her last film role was playing 'Patricia' in the film drama, "The Planter" (1917). The film which was directed by Thomas N. Heffron and John Ince, which was written for the screen by Harry C. Drum, which was based on the novel by Herman Whitaker, and which also starred Tyrone Power Sr., Lamar Johnstone, Lalo Encinas, George Odell, and Louis Fitzroy, tells the story of Osgood and Short who are promoters floating stock in a fraudulent tropical rubber plantation among the residents of a New England community. Their best prospect is Elizabeth Mann, a wealthy widow, who is kept from investing only by the influence of her rather effeminate son, David Mann. To get him out of the way the promoters offer to send him to the tropics to manage the plantation. David Mann, having been brought to a realization of his worthlessness through a curt refusal of marriage, accepts, and is soon landed in the tropics. He meets Senora Morales, a Mexican slave dealer, and her daughter, Consuela. They are just departing to deliver a number of slaves to Ludwig Hertzer, the most feared and hated planter on the Isthmus. David Mann gets an insight into Ludwig Hertzer's peculiar character and the horror and brutality of the rubber slavery system. The next morning Senora Morales and Consuela arrive with the slaves, among them a big Yaqui chief, to whom Ludwig Hertzer's half-breed daughter is attracted. Going on to his own plantation, David Mann finds that it is little more than a rubbish heap and sends a cable to his mother not to invest, but this is intercepted by Ludwig Hertzer for his personal gain. David Mann's housekeeper, Andrea, is a wild, sensuous daughter of the tropics, and endeavors to appropriate David Mann to herself. David Mann turns his attention to reforming conditions and building up the plantation, especially after he hears that his mother Elizabeth Mann has invested in the company. Crazed by the unspeakable brutality to which they are subjected on Ludwig Hertzer's plantation, the Yaqui chief and his sister escape. In the flight, the sister is killed by Ludwig Hertzer and the following morning the Yaqui is captured, taken back, and terribly flogged. Andrea's fight to win David Mann reaches a climax when, after he had ridden by a stream and had seen her bathing, he yields to the lure of her dancing and love-making that night. They are interrupted by cries of yellow fever and, as David Mann goes to attend to the sick man, the slaves and Andrea, after looting the hut, follow them. After writing a letter to Señora Morales for more slaves, David Mann is himself stricken with the fever. Señora Morales being away from home, Consuela brings the slaves. Hertzer accompanies her and nurses him back to life. While nursing the sick man, Ludwig Hertzer schemes to have David Mann removed by Osgood and Short so that he may manage the plantation and divide the spoils with the promoters. Consuela assists David Mann in his reforms by opening a school for slave children. David Mann asks Consuela to marry him. Consuela agrees, providing that his mother Elizabeth Mann consents. At that moment Ludwig Hertzer brings a letter authorizing him to take charge of the plantation, and, as David Mann speeds back to New England to gain his rights, Consuela stays on to try to protect his interests. Ludwig Hertzer urges Consuela to marry him. In answer to her query as to why he has been so brutal, Ludwig Hertzer explains that years ago native bandits killed his wife and stole his baby, and this had so warped him that he thought only of revenge. In New England, David Mann secures control of the plantation, while his mother Elizabeth Mann writes to Consuela urging her marriage with David Mann. Patricia obtains the letter and shows it to Ludwig Hertzer, who is so enraged that he locks Consuela up in a hut and, after a night of drinking, starts to wreak his vengeance on Consuela. Drunk, he wanders into the jungle, where he falls unconscious. Returning home, Señora Morales finds that Consuela is at Ludwig Hertzer's, and starts out for her, with David Mann, who has just returned. Señora Morales is killed. That evening Ludwig Hertzer goes to the hut and attacks Consuela. She is saved by the arrival of her slave. Patricia pleads with Ludwig Hertzer to give up his plan, but Ludwig Hertzer locks her up in another hut and goes back to Consuela. He now plans to mate her with a slave. The slave is brought in, but Consuela is again saved by an uprising of the slaves. A battle ensues between them and Ludwig Hertzer and the overseers. Ludwig Hertzer is left helpless on the ground by the Yaqui chief, who, to avenge himself for the death of his sister, carries off Ludwig Hertzer's half-breed daughter, Patricia. The slaves burn the plantation and Ludwig Hertzer, a physical wreck, plans his worst revenge. If he cannot have Consuela he determines that no one else shall, and crawling to the hut, he sets fire to it, to burn both of them. David Mann, nearing the plantation, sees the flames and rescues Consuela. Carrying her out, he adds mental anguish to Ludwig Hertzer's death by telling him that Consuela is his own daughter. He revives Consuela and all ends happily. She retired from acting shortly thereafter. She passed away in Los Angeles, California, on January 6, 1964, at the age of 75. Following her death, her funeral service was held through Pierce Brothers Hollywood in Hollywood, California, and she was buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California. In her private life, she was known as Mabel Wiles Arnold. She was the mother of Forrest W. Arnold (1911-1981), who is buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.
