Wikipedia article
'Miss Nobody' is a 1926 silent film drama produced and distributed by First National Pictures and directed by Lambert Hillyer. The film is based on a short story by Tiffany Wells called "Shebo"; the likely feminine pronunciation of hobo. The stars of the film were Anna Q. Nilsson and Walter Pidgeon, then in a very early role in his career.[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/M/MissNobody1926.html 'Miss Nobody' at the silentera.com database] The plot of this film bears a striking resemblance to 'Beggars of Life', made two years later at Paramount.
