'The Heart of a Rose' is a 1919 British silent drama film directed by Jack Denton and starring Stella Muir, Henry Victor and Douglas Payne.Palmer p.895
The film has a northern setting and was filmed in Sheffield. Described as a simple story of the novelette type, it apparently has some interesting scenes of the interior of an iron foundry. The reviewer credited only as Lantern Man by The Yorkshire Evening Post is not that enthusiastic: Although containing nothing new, it is thoroughly clean and wholesome, and possesses that heart interest so dear to most cinemagoers. This heart interest is based upon Muir's journey from the slums of Sheffield wherein the motherly child minds the unwashed ragged urchins, who are not poor because the poor are only those who feel poor to a new life as the young lady of a mansion. In the view of Lantern Man, it has an appeal that makes for popularity.
