Why Girls Leave Home (1921 film)

[7] Why Girls Go Back Home (1926) is a sequel to the film that was also produced by Warner Bros. Mr. Hedder (George Lessey) is an old fashioned man who will not let his daughter Anna (Anna Q. Nilsson) own an evening gown, but she is given one by a friend who is a model.

Hedder believes that she stole it and confers with Mr. Wallace (Claude King), the owner of the store.

On Wallace's advice, Hedder hits Anna, causing her to leave home and move in with some gold diggers.

She discovers that Wallace is a lenient father, and his daughter, Madeline (Maurine Powers) frequents less-than-reputable nightclubs, and is also the pawn of Mr. Reynolds (Coit Albertson), who is dating her for business reasons.

Warner Bros. destroyed many of its negatives in the late 1940s and 1950s due to nitrate film pre-1933 decomposition.
