The Legend of Hollywood

The Legend of Hollywood is a 1924 American silent romantic drama film directed by Renaud Hoffman and starring Percy Marmont, Zasu Pitts, and Alice Davenport.

[1] As described in a review in a film magazine,[2] a boarding house in Hollywood shelters a variety of persons who are seeking success in the movies.

Among them is John Smith (Marmont) who is writing what he hopes will be the screen's greatest story.

The landlady tells him his rent is overdue, but allows him to stay in the room for seven more days if he does not take meals.

Mary Brown (Pitts), the young woman who cleans his room and is his friend comes by and finds John apparently dead.
