Daybreak is a 1918 American silent drama film directed by Albert Capellani.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Edith Frome (Stevens) finds it impossible to live with her husband Arthur (L'Estrange), who overindulges in liquor, and finally leaves him.

Because of her friendliness with Dr. David Brett (Phillips), Arthur suspects the worst and institutes divorce proceedings.

Edith tells him the truth concerning the child and Arthur, realizing his folly with his debauches, swears off liquor and they are reunited.

For example, the Chicago Board of Censors cut two intertitles, "Now I know the truth — you have a child and Dr. Brett is the —" and "Yes and I know who's the father", and a shooting scene.
