The Ghost in the Garret

The Ghost in the Garret is a 1921 American silent comedy film directed by F. Richard Jones and written by Fred Chaston and Wells Hastings.

The film stars Dorothy Gish, Downing Clarke, Mrs. David Landau, William Parke Jr., Ray Grey, Walter P. Lewis, and Mary Foy.

Delsie attempts to get back the necklace and traces it to a supposedly haunted house in the area.

She pretends to be a ghost in order to frighten the thieves into giving up the necklace.

Critic Troy Howarth commented "Prolific silent film director F. Richard Jones was responsible for this stale old dark house comedy-thriller.....(the film) brought nothing new to the genre and seemed awfully clichéd to even 1921's critics....basically a lighthearted affair.
