An Amateur Orphan

[1] It was the first appearance of Leslie in a starring role after being dubbed the "girl with a million dollar style" for her performance in 1917's The Vicar of Wakefield.

[2][3] The review in Motography describes the plot: Marcia Schuyler (Gladys Leslie) is a "poor little rich girl" who has everything but the companionship of other children.

When her mother and father leave for Japan, Marcia begs her governess to allow her to exchange places with the latter's niece and to go to an orphan asylum instead of the finishing school selected by her parents.

Into an atmosphere of gloom and misunderstanding Marcia brings her sunshiny spirit and straightens out many tangles.

Through an accident the record of Marcia's adoption is destroyed and her father offers a large reward for her discovery.
