Timeline

1908

Edith Ellis was born in Coldwater, Michigan, to Edward C Ellis, playwright and actor, and Ruth McCarty Ellis, an actress. She claimed she was born to the stage, her first part was at age 6, and by 10 she was a star. Two plays were written for her before she was 12 years old. Several times she was head of her own stock companies, traveling or stationary, and wrote, produced, directed, and acted in many plays. Her first writing attempt was out of necessity, when she and her brother, Edward, were stranded on the road by the unexpected disbanding of their stock company. The play was successful enough to pay their way home. Edith married Frank A. Baker, and they leased the Park Theatre and the Criterion Theatre in Brooklyn, where she directed plays for many years. They later moved to the Berkely Lyceum in New York where she directed her own play, The Point of View, which never made it to Broadway. She also wrote uncredited scenarios for silent films for Samuel Goldwyn. Their daughter, Ellis Baker, became an actress. Later, Edith married C. Becher Furness, a Canadian. She finally made it to Broadway by age 34 with her play, "Mary Jane's Pa" (1908) which ran for a then-very respectable 120 performances.

1925

She continued her career there as a playwright/director through 7 more productions through mid-1925 (see "Other works").

While none of these later efforts were particularly wildly successful, her 1925 play, "White Collars" enjoyed two film adaptations by MGM in 1929 and 1938. Her earliest film adaptations were sold to Vitagraph and Myron Selznick. Ellis had her fascinating quirks.

1930

As her theatrical career wound down in the mid-1930s, she took up an avid interest in (using modern terminology) channeling the dead. She claimed to transcribe works by none other than George Washington (whom she claimed demanded she transcribe his definitive autobiography in a receptive transcendent state) and common citizens such as a New England farm boy named Wilfred Brandon, supposedly killed in the Revolutionary War.

1936

Wrote numerous books channeling the dead. These included: Incarnation: A Plea from the Masters, (1936, 1951 reprint), Open the Door! (1935), We Knew These Men (1943), Love in the Afterlife (1956) along with "An Autobiography of George Washington" (1944) (where she claimed Washington dictated his life story, even complaining his birthdate was misstated).
