Misunderstanding Undercuts Love

Warning: Spoilers
On October 19, THE HOUSE OF YOUTH, was released by P.D.C., one of a series of Regal Pictures produced by Thomas Ince but without using his name, as outlined in my Ince biography. The movie cost $80,697, with $18,163 in overhead, and Thomas Ince's brother Ralph Ince directed the seven reel production. C. Gardner Sullivan adapted the previous year's novel of the same title by Maude Radford Warren, the rights to which had already been sold by the publisher, Bobbs-Merrill, to Schenck Productions.

Billed as a "gripping drama of the morals and marriages of the younger generation," Jacqueline Logan portrayed a woman of an old family, not rich but thrown in with the intoxicating current of society, "a typical girl of the hour ...." She becomes reacquainted with a British writer she had nursed during the war. Then she is arrested in a roadhouse with a married cad who is forcing himself upon her. The Englishman breaks the engagement, only to regret it when she starts a retreat for slum children and eventually marries another friend.
