This film offers glimpses into the busy and varied life of Marie Rankin Clarke. It showcases scenic and up close views of the Arizona Biltmore Resort. Film later cuts into an up close experience with a horse and its handler. Another jump shows various people in Marie's social circle affectionately interacting with their pet cats and dogsContext
Notably, the Biltmore Resort was owned by William Wrigley Jr., and constructed by Frank Lloyd Wright, considered the most influential American architect. Frank Lloyd Wright was also a mentor of Irving J. Gill, the man who constructed the Clarke Estate. Marine Rankin Clarke and Frank Lloyd Wright's lives overlapped in several ways. Wright was one of the designers of the famous Hollywood Bowl, while Marie Rankin Clarke generally funded the purchase of the land. Knowing this, it makes sense that Marie Rankin Clarke would likely visit other fantastic buildings designed by Wright.Collection
