The Family Secret is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by William A. Seiter and featuring child star Baby Peggy.

[1] It is based on Editha's Burglar, a story by Frances Hodgson Burnett first published in 1881 by St. Nicholas Magazine[2] and adapted for the stage by Augustus E. Thomas.

Margaret Selfridge (Hulette) lives with her affluent father, Simon (Currier) and her Aunt Abigail (Lucy Beamont) in a mansion in New York City.

One evening, Peggy asks if she can borrow her mother's most cherished possession: her wedding ring, which she wears on a chain around her neck.

The film concludes with the entire Selfridge clan, Garry included, living as a happy family.
