Actress. She will be best remembered for her role as 'Madeleine' a model in "The Face On The Barroom Floor" (1914). The fourteen-minute short film which was directed by legendary actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin and based on the poem by Hugh Antoine d'Arcy and also starred Jess Dandy, Chester Conklin, Edward Nolan, Charles Bennett, Vivian Edwards, Minta Durfee, and Edwin Frazee, tells the story of a painter who courts Madeleine but loses her to the wealthy client who sits for his portrait. The despairing artist draws the girl's portrait on the barroom floor and gets tossed out. Years later he sees her, her husband, and their horde of children. Unrecognized by her, Charlie shakes off his troubles and walks off into the future. She was born one of two children in Louisville, Kentucky, as Cecile Laval Arnoux to newspaper reporter Anthony Arnoux and his wife Susan Elizabeth Campbell Arnoux on July 9, 1893. Her birth year is also listed as 1891, 1897, and 1898. Her parents were later divorced, and her mother remarried to Albert D. Evans in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1902. The marriage produced three more children. The family later resettled in Texas. She was educated locally and later decided to pursue a career in acting. She began her career as a chorus girl and a Ziegfeld Follies girl who were popular in a series of elaborate theatrical revue productions. She was then signed to a film contract by director Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios and she began playing 'vamp' roles in comedies especially with the likes of Charlie Chaplin with whom she appeared in eleven films. She made her actual film debut playing the role of 'Goo Goo Sister' in "The Property Man" (1914). The film which was written and directed by legendary actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin also starred Alice Davenport, Dixie Chene, Chester Conklin, Norma Nichols, Vivian Edwards, and Jess Dandy, tells the story of Charlie who has trouble with actors' luggage and conflicts over who gets the star's dressing room. There are further difficulties with frequent scene changes, wrong entries, and a fireman's hose. At one point he juggles an athlete's supposed weights. The humor is still rough: he kicks an older assistant in the face and allows him to be run over by a truck. Besides, "The Face On The Barroom Floor" (1914), "The Property Man" (1914), her many other film credits include, "Such A Cook" (1914), "The Masquerader" (1914), "Her Last Chance" (1914), "His New Profession" (1914), "The Baggage Smasher" (1914), "The Rounders" (1914), "He Loved The Ladies" (1914), "Those Love Pangs" (1914), "Stout Hearts But Weak Knees" (1914), "Dough And Dynamite" (1914), "Cursed By His Beauty" (1914), "His Musical Career" (1914), "His Talented Wife" (1914), "Fatty's Wine Party" (1914), "His Halted Career" (1914), "Leading Lizzie Astray" (1914), "A Fair Exchange" (1914), "His Prehistoric Past" (1914), "Ambrose's First Falsehood" (1914), "Hushing The Scandal" (1915), "Her Winning Punch" (1915), "Caught In A Park" (1915), "The Springtime Feeling" (1915), "Ambrose's Sour Grapes" (1915), "His Luckless Love" (1915), "Ambrose's Fury's (1915), "Caught In The Act" (1915), "Gussie's Day Of Rest" (1915), "Ambrose's Lofty Perch" (1915), "Gussie's Wayward Path" (1915), "Ambrose's Nasty Temper" (1915), "A Bear Affair" (1915), "Crossed Love And Swords" (1915), "No One To Guide Him" (1915), "My Valet" (1915), "A Game Old Knight" (1915), "A Submarine Pirate" (1915), "His Last Scent" (1916), "Her Nature Dance" (1917), "Petticoat Perils" (1917), "Love And Fish" (1917), "His Social Rise" (1917), "Their Week Moments" (1917), "His Widow's Might" (1917), and her last film, "Their Domestic Deception" (1917). During her acting career, she also used the stage name of Peaches Arnold, Cecile Arnole, and Cecile Arley. Her acting career besides Charlie Chaplin, also led her to work with such personalities as Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Mack Swain, and Syd Chaplin. She also used the stage name of Cecile Arno and appeared in Al Jolson's musical, "Robinson Crusoe Jr." which was a production stage play that was performed at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City on February 17, 1916, and also starred Kitty Doner, Claude Flemming, and Isabelle Rodrigues. She retired from acting in 1918. She was married twice, first to actor and assistant director of Keystone Studios Chauncey Frank 'Duke' Reynolds from March 20, 1918, until they divorced in 1919 or 1920. She then met wealthy stockbroker David Lionel Toeg after moving to Shanghai, China, while working as a stenographer in a real estate office. The couple married in 1923 and a son was born to the couple on March 25, 1925, in San Francisco, California. The child was thought to be her mother's or as the result of her affair with a Russian merchant named Nicolai Merkuloff, but these theories were never proven. The child was raised by relatives in Texas and she eventually moved back to China and eventually divorced her husband in 1925. She passed away from an acute infective myocarditis that led to heart failure in Hong Kong, China, on June 18, 1931, at the age of about 37, and she was buried in Saint Michael's Catholic Cemetery in Happy Valley, on Hong Kong Island, China.
