Dancing Mothers is a 1926 American black and white silent drama film produced by Paramount Pictures.

[1] The film tells the story of a pretty mother, who was almost cheated out of life by a heartless husband and a thoughtless daughter.

Dancing Mothers was adapted from a successful Broadway stage play by Edgar Selwyn and Edmund Goulding, and Paramount reportedly bought the rights for $45,000.

On Broadway the principal parts had been played by Helen Hayes as the daughter, John Halliday as the father, and Mary Young as the mother.

After production ended in December 1925, Brennon reported to Paramount's top officials that Clara was not only very talented as an actress, but that she took direction very well.
