Her Husband's Secret is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Antonio Moreno, Patsy Ruth Miller, and Ruth Clifford.[1][2]
Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] tiring of his home life, Leon Kent (McGrail) gives a wild party and his wife leaves with their young son and goes to a neighbor's house. Ross Brewster (Torrence), a banker, sympathizes with her. Kent becomes enraged and, taking the son, leaves home. Twenty-five years later, Brewster and Mrs. Kent, although they have never married, maintain a beautiful friendship. Brewster's daughter Judy (Miller) returns home bringing her fiancé Elliot Owen (Moreno). Brewster's knowledge of men enables him to read Owen's character. Owen confesses that he has already married Judy and demands that Brewster save him from prison and disgrace. When Brewster refuses, Owen discloses that he is Mrs. Kent's son. Brewster suggests that the only way to redeem himself is by walking off a cliff, and, when he refuses, taunts him and calls him a coward. When Judy discloses that she will soon be a mother, Owen sees himself in a new light and takes the plunge. Brewster finds him at the base of the cliff, injured but still alive. Sometime later in the Brewster house, a meeting is held to determine the fate of a dishonest employee. Brewster, pleading important business to attend, leaves to play with the baby, while Owen pleads for leniency for the boy and gives him a second chance.
