A Roman Scandal is a 1919 American short silent comedy film starring Colleen Moore, and directed by Al Christie.

The actors of the local stage company go on strike, leaving management with nobody to fill all the roles.

Moore went to work with Al Christie to develop her comedy skills.

In her autobiography Silent Star, she said she had read a quote that the greatest dramatic actresses had gotten their starts in comedy.

The film, a two-reel short,[2] played with several other longer features at the various other venues where it was exhibited, such as with Anne of Green Gables, a Mary Miles Minter film,[3] and with Cosmo Hamilton's The Miracle of Love at the Rivoli Rialto Theater in New York.
