School for Wives is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Victor Halperin and starring Conway Tearle, Sigrid Holmquist, and Peggy Kelly.[1][2] It provided an early role for the future star Brian Donlevy. Based on Leonard Merrick's 1907 melodramatic novel The House of Lynch, it was not well-received by critics.[3][4]
As described in a film magazine review,[5] a rich young woman marries a poor English artist who refuses to accept her father's tainted money. The artist lives up to his ideals, which precipitates a conflict. He is forced to accept a sum which permits their son to have an operation. After the wife gives up on her father's money through learning that it has no place in the scheme of happiness, she is reconciled to her husband. They live happily.
With no prints of School for Wives located in any film archives,[6] it is a lost film.
