Lovey Mary is a 1926 American comedy-drama film directed by King Baggot, with Bessie Love in the title role.

[4] Lovey Mary (Love) runs away from an orphanage with Tommy (Combs) so that he will not have to return to his bad mother.

Billy Wiggs (Haines) lives next door, and Lovey works with his sisters in a factory to earn money for herself and Tommy.

On the day of Miss Hazey's wedding, her fiancee recognizes Lovey from the orphanage and reveals her true identity.

[5][6] To help her decide whether to participate in the film, MGM lent Bessie Love a copy of the novel Lovey Mary by Alice Hegan Rice in 1925—then-valued at $25 (equivalent to $430 in 2023).
