The Girl in His Room

1922 · 50 min

A quiet, old-fashioned melodrama of mistaken identity and stolen fortune, unfolding with earnest sentiment and a gentle air of mystery.

Overview
Myra Pendleton was sent away to be raised after her mother died in childbirth. Now that she's a young woman, her father wants her to return, but instead of simply welcoming her back, he pretends to be the Pendleton Family attorney, who presents her with a lovely home. But the house actually belongs to Kirk Waring (Warner Baxter), who has been abroad. Waring returns to find that he's been swindled out of both house and fortune.
