Wikipedia article
'A Chapter in Her Life' is a 1923 American drama film based on the novel 'Jewel: A Chapter in Her Life' by Clara Louise Burnham. The film was directed by Lois Weber. She had previously adapted the same novel as the 1915 film 'Jewel', which she co-directed (uncredited) with her then-husband and collaborator Phillips Smalley. Weber made this film shortly after her divorce from Smalley.
Plot
Jewel (Mercer) is a young granddaughter who stays with her grizzled, angry grandfather while her parents are overseas on business. Anger and squabbling amongst the family are brought to heel through love, understanding and the teachings of Christian Science through Jewel's pure sweet love for others and trust in Divine Love.Beauchamp, Cari; 'Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood'; University of California Press, Berkeley, 1997; p. 149
