Lilies of the Field is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by John Francis Dillon, produced by and starring actress Corinne Griffith, and distributed by Associated First National Pictures. It is based on a 1921 play, Lilies of the Field, by William J. Hurlbut. The film was remade by Griffith as an early sound film in 1930. [1] [2] [3]
The phrase "Lilies of the Field" occurs in the Bible, in Matthew 6:28.
As described in a film magazine review, [4] neglected by her pleasure-loving husband, Mildred Harker attends a ball and becomes compromised by an admirer. Walter Harker divorces her and obtains custody of their baby. Mildred, employed as a model, refuses the offer of Louis Willing to occupy an apartment at his expense and to become his mistress. Willing, who really is in love with her, becomes convinced of Mildred's worthiness. They marry and she regains custody of her child.
With no copies of Lilies of the Field located in any film archives, [5] it is a lost film. A trailer to this film exists at the Library of Congress. [6]

Polly of the Circus is a 1917 American silent drama film notable as the first film produced by Samuel Goldwyn after founding his studio Goldwyn Pictures. This film starred Mae Marsh, usually an actress for D.W. Griffith, but now under contract to Goldwyn for a series of films. The film was based on the 1907 Broadway play Polly of the Circus by Margaret Mayo which starred Mabel Taliaferro. Presumably when MGM remade Polly of the Circus in 1932 with Marion Davies, they still owned the screen rights inherited from the 1924 merger by Marcus Loew of the Metro, Goldwyn, and Louis B. Mayer studios. This film marks the first appearance of Slats, the lion mascot of Goldwyn Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Prints and/or fragments were found in the Dawson Film Find in 1978.
