Sweet Lavender (1920 film)

Sweet Lavender is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by Paul Powell and starring Mary Miles Minter.

[2] As described in various film magazine reviews,[3][4][5][6] Lavender (Minter) lives with her aunt Ruth Holt (Keckley), who runs a boarding house for college boys.

Lavender escapes from boarding school when she hears that Clem is seriously ill. Disguising herself in boys' clothes, she walks through the rain until she is overcome with exhaustion and faints.

Mrs. Holt tells Weatherburn the truth - that Lavender is really his daughter - and all objections to her union with Clem are overcome.

The September 4th, 1920 edition of Motion Picture News lists a musical cue sheet for the film.
