 Constance Collier (1878-1955) - 6. Actors from the Golden Age of the Theatre
Constance Collier (born Laura Constance Hardie in Windsor, Berkshire) was the only child of Auguste Cheetham Hardie (1853-1939) and Eliza Georgina Collier (1854-1914).
She explained to me the two chief dangers in reading Shakespeare's verse: the one, to intone in a stilted fashion losing all feeling or reality; the other, precisely the opposite, in the effort to be natural, the complete disregard of poetic metre.
Although Constance Collier made fewer and fewer stage appearances (her last in New York was in the 1939 production of Aries is Rising), she played many supporting roles in films between 1935 (when she was put on contract by M-G-M) and 1949.

 © Constance Talmadge - Silent Movie Star - goldensilents.com
Constance's first major role (which still survives) was as The Mountain Girl and Marguerite de Valois in D.W. Griffith's masterpiece "Intolerance" (1916).
Constance prepared herself for the transition to sound, but Peg's philosophy of getting the money first and then getting comfortable convinced both Norma and Constance to abruptly leave film stardom behind while they were still in top form as silent movie stars.
In 1978 writer Anita Loos published a memoir of Constance and Norma entitled "The Talmadge Girls." She had written scripts for their film projects for several years in the 1910's and 1920's and was a confidante to Peg and the girls.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Council of Constance
In the meantime the treachery and violence of Ladislaus of Naples made John XXIII quite dependent politically on the new Emperor-elect Sigismund whose anxiety for a general council on German territory was finally satisfied by the pope, then an exile from Rome.
It is to be noted that of the twelve cardinals present at Constance only seven or eight assisted at the fifth session, and they solely to avoid scandal (among the absent was d'Ailly).
From an ecclesiastical point of view, the Council of Constance may truly be said to close the medieval and to open the modern period.
