Why Girls Go Back Home is a lost 1926 American silent comedy drama film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. James Flood directed and Patsy Ruth Miller and Clive Brook starred.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine review,[4] Marie Downey (Patsy Ruth Miller), a trusting young country woman, falls in love with touring stage actor Clifford Dudley (Clive Brook) as his touring troupe takes up residence in the hotel run by Marie's father.

Both lovestruck and stagestruck, Marie follows Clifford to New York City, where she ends up getting a job in old Broadway as a chorus girl.

Thanks to a lucky break, Marie becomes the star of the show in which she is appearing, whereupon Clifford finally acknowledges her existence.

This time, however, she gives Clifford the cold shoulder then turns her back on New York and heads home (hence the title).
