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. Myrna Loy has a feature role. The film is a sequel to Warner Bros.'s 1921 Why Girls Leave Home, which was a box office hit.




Plot


As described in a film magazine review, 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. When he finds that she has fallen for him, Clifford plans a hasty departure. 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. She tries desperately to get in touch with Clifford, but he acts as if he does not even know she's alive as he becomes a matinée idol on Broadway. 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). Clifford follows her on the train, setting the stage for a tender reconciliation.

Preservation


With no prints of Why Girls Go Back Home located in any film archives, it is now a lost film. Warner Bros. records of the film's negative have a notation, "Junked 12/27/48" (i.e., December 27, 1948). Warner Bros. destroyed many of its pre-1933 negatives in the late 1940s and 1950s due to nitrate film decomposition.
