Gerald Cranston's Lady

Gerald Cranston's Lady is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring James Kirkwood, Alma Rubens, and Walter McGrail.

[2] As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] wealthy Englishman Gerald Cranston (Kirkwood) makes a bargain with Lady Hermione (Rubens) to marry her.

Love is not to enter into the affair as he is marrying for social prestige and she to secure financial independence for herself and young son.

Hermione returns, realizing she has begun to love Gerald, but this is turned to disgust when she learns of his trip to Paris.

[4] Although adopted from a novel in which a sexual theme was paramount, the film's plot was modified so that love and not passion was the dominating motivation in all situations except for a suspicion of infidelity during the Paris trip, which is afterwards proved to be groundless.
