By Divine Right

Mildred, a young stenographer, seeks protection at the mission run by Austin Farrol, known as "The Prince," when her employer, Trent, an unscrupulous politician, attempts to seduce her. Mildred begins to work at the mission and falls in love with Farrol. Farrol is accused of arson when a fire started by Trent destroys the mission. However, he escapes when the train he rides crashes. Farrol assumes a disguise, and gets a position in Trent's household. During a party, Trent's child falls from a window and is believed to be permanently crippled, but Farrol, with "divine power," is able to cure her. A lost film.

Directed by Roy William Neill, By Divine Right leans on a strong ensemble — Mildred Harris, Anders Randolf, Elliott Dexter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1924.
