Career

Ms. Arnold was a member of the cast of the 1891 production of "Nerves" at the Lyceum Theatre in New York City. Arnold played Viola Campbell in a 1916 production of The Witching Hour filmed in Flushing, New York. The film starred C. Aubrey Smith and Marie Shotwell. The movie was an adaptation of a play written by Augustus Thomas. One review described it as better than the stage drama which preceded it, while retaining the mood of strangeness. Arnold was said to be "an attractive Viola".

In June 1916, Arnold was among the winners of a Beauty and Brains contest held by Photoplay magazine.

Arnold made Two Men and a Woman (1917) with Christine Mayo and Rubye De Remer. The Ivan Film Productions, Inc., release is directed by William J. Humphrey.
