Marjorie Benton Cooke was born in 1876 in Richmond, Indiana. She was a
novelist and playwright who wrote screen plays
for four silent films that appeared between 1920 and 1926, three of which
were based on her novels, "The Incubus", "The Girl Who Lived in the Woods"
and "Cinderella Jane". The celluloid versions of these novels were re-titled
as "Her Husband's Friend", "Little Fraid Lady" and "The Mad Marriage".
Her novels include
The Girl Who
Lived in the Woods (1910),
To Mother (1911), Bambi (1914) and
The Cricket (1919). She is credited with the lyrics of
Is Yo'? Yo' Is!, a song that was published in Chicago in 1905. Cooke
was also a successful writer of short stories, whose work appeared in many
magazines during the decade of the first world war and the decade
preceding. Her short stories include The Littlest Scout (May 1915),
Harrigan - of the Rockies (Dec 1915), The Bird-Cage (Aug 1916),
Little Jesus (Dec 1916), "It Might Have Happened" (Apr 1917),
and The Morals of Peter (Aug 1917).
Many of her works, like Bambi feature humourous dialog and
situations with a central role played by a strong-willed female character. Her
works that are still in print include a book of one act plays, entitled
Dramatic Episodes.
Cooke died on the 26th of April, 1920.
Bambi (1914)
This is not that book about a fawn that grows to be a great stag. That
book was written by Felix Salten. This Bambi is about a young woman
named Francesca Parkhurst, whose nickname is Bambina (shortened to
Bambi). Bambi, the only daughter of an absent minded professor of
mathematics, marries a penniless playwright and then devotes her life
to making him a success. Humor and romance.
The full title of Felix Salten's book, which
was published in 1923 is Bambi, A Life in the Woods.
