Don Marquis
Donald Robert Perry Marquis ( ; July 29, 1878 – December 29, 1937) was an American humorist, journalist, and author. He was variously a novelist, poet, newspaper columnist, and playwright. He is remembered best for creating the characters Archy and Mehitabel, supposed authors of humorous verse.

Life Marquis was born and grew up in Walnut, Illinois. His brother David died in 1892 at the age of 20; his father James died in 1897.

Billie Bennett
Billie Bennett (October 23, 1874 – May 19, 1951) was an American film actress of the silent era. She appeared in more than 50 films between 1913 and 1930. She was born in Evansville, Indiana, and died in Los Angeles, California. Author E. J. Fleming writing in his 2004 book, ''The Fixers: Eddie Mannix, Howard Strickling and the MGM Publicity Machine'', states that when she ceased making films at the end of the silent era, she ran a high class bordello in an exclusive part of the Los Angeles area.

Much of the brothel was sponsored by MGM courting out of town clientele and foreign distributors and exhibitors from around the world. Selected filmography * ''Almost a Rescue'' (1913) * ''The House in the Tree'' (1913) * '' Mabel's Busy Day'' (1914) * '' The Masquerader'' (1914) * '' Tillie's Punctured Romance'' (1914) * ''Fatty's Chance Acquaintan ...
