About the author
Marjorie Benton Cooke (1876–1920) was an American writer born in Richmond, Indiana, and a graduate of the University of Chicago. She first performed as a monologue artist, known for her comic monologues, and later turned to playwriting and fiction. Her works are light and humorous, often blending romance with suffragist themes; her representative titles include Bambi, Cinderella Jane, The Cricket, and The Dual Alliance. Several of her novels were adapted into silent films, linking early cinema with popular literature. Cooke died in Manila in 1920 at the age of forty-four. Though her career was short, her work had a recognizable presence in American popular letters and on the screen of her time. Public information is limited, and details of her life remain largely unknown.
