The Spark Divine

The Spark Divine is a 1919 American silent drama film, starring Alice Joyce, that was directed by Tom Terriss and produced and distributed by Vitagraph Company of America.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] the Van Arsdale's come into sudden wealth and raise their naturally sweet and sentimental child Marcia (Joyce) into a beautiful and cultured woman who is cold and calculating and with a heart of ice.

When bankruptcy threatens the family, they believe their only salvation is their daughter's marriage to a millionaire.

Robert believes he sees the woman beneath the shell of Marcia, and when she coldly tells him that she will marry him only for his wealth, he agrees on the condition that she "will a wife – and a mother."

Then the child is kidnapped, and Marcia is fraught with the fears that only a mother can know, showing the real woman in her.
