Biography
Ella was born in Hebron, Indiana, to James Carson and Mary Jane Stuart. She attended the Indiana University and afterward embarked on a career as a newspaperwoman, working at The Chicago Tribune and The Albuquerque Journal.[1] By the mid-1910s, she and her husband, R. Cecil Smith, got work writing scripts at Thomas H. Ince's studio.[2] The pair—who reportedly wrote over 100 screenplays together—filed a trademark in 1920 to have the rest of their screenplays jointly credited to "the R. Cecil Smiths."[3]
