'Lonesome Corners' is a 1922 American silent comedy drama film directed by Edgar Jones and starring Jones, Henry Van Bousen and Lillian Lorraine.Kear & King p. 133

Plot



of Edna Sperl and Edgar Jones in 'Lonesome Corners'

Henry Warburon (portrayed by Henry Van Bousen) is a wilderness dweller; his wife, Nola Warburton (portrayed by Edna May Sperl) is a taciturn individual, devoid of any social graces and refinement. A friend, Grant Hamilton (portrayed by Edgar Jones), recruits a chaperone to assist him in kidnapping Nola and together, the two attempt to tutor her in efforts to improve her deportment. While his wife is missing, Henry receives frequent correspondence describing his improvements in his wife's attitude and mannerisms. He attempts to locate his wife, but his efforts are unsuccessful.

In the final letter Henry receives, he is notified that he has become a father. One year later, Henry travels to New York to claim an inheritance and is reunited with Nola, who is markedly refined, and eager to become the perfect consort for her now-wealthy husband.Katchmer p. 184
