Howard.[1] It stars Bessie Love and Tully Marshall. Its preservation status is unknown.[6] PlotTwo villains plan to steal the inheritance of Anna Moore (Love) by marrying her. When her brother Tommy (Lee) is hit by a car, the wealthy driver pays the doctor bills, and falls in love with Anna. This thwarts the villains' initial plans, who hire a woman to pose as the wealthy driver's estranged mother of his baby, and stop the wedding. When the woman reveals her true identity, the villains are exposed, and Anna and her rich fiancee are reunited.[7][8] Cast
Promotion and releaseThe film is notable for its then-novel methods of promotion, which included stunts, such as weddings in movie theaters,[11] and staged "Just Married" car rides around town.[12] On its release, the film was shown with the short Fighting Blood in some theaters.[13] ReceptionGenerally, the film received positive reviews,[14][15][16][17] although some reviewers thought that "Director Howard has used nearly two reels too much in telling the story"[7] and the plot twists were not believable. There was speculation that more clear title would have improved theater attendance even more.[18] The film was commercially successful.[19] References1. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yyqc0Qa6b60C&pg=PA261|page=261|title=The Complete Index to Literary Sources in Film|editor-first=Alan|editor-last=Goble|isbn=9783110951943|date=2011-09-08}} 2. ^{{cite book|title=Deserted at the Altar: a Melodrama in Four Acts|first=Pierce|last=Kingsley|date=1902|oclc=17422107}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ud8QAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA130|title=Popular Novels Written from Plays|last=Blaney|first=Charles E.|year=1907}} 4. ^1 {{cite book |last=Love |first=Bessie |year=1977 |title=From Hollywood with Love: An Autobiography of Bessie Love |location=London |publisher=Elm Tree Books|oclc=734075937|page=151}} 5. ^{{cite journal|title=With the Procession in Los Angeles|first=Harry Hammond|last=Beall|date=September 2, 1922|journal=Exhibitors Herald|page=105|url=https://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald15exhi}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/D/DesertedAtTheAltar1922.html|website=Silent Era|title=Progressive Silent Film List: Deserted at the Altar}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite journal|journal=The Film Daily|url=https://archive.org/details/filmdaily2122newy|date=October 1, 1922|page=14|title=More Old Fashioned Melodrama with Regulation Hokum}} 8. ^1 2 {{cite book|title=The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States: Feature Films 1921–1930|editor-last=Munden|editor-first=Kenneth W.|publisher=R.R.
