Lonesome Corners is a 1922 American silent comedy drama film directed by Edgar Jones and starring Jones, Edna May Sperl, Henry Van Bousen and Lillian Lorraine. [1]
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. [2]
Jane Seymour was Queen of England as the third wife of King Henry VIII from their marriage on 30 May 1536 until her death the next year.

Jane, however, died of postnatal complications less than two weeks after the birth of her only child, the future King Edward VI. She was the only wife of Henry to receive a queen's funeral; and he was later buried alongside her remains in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
