| | Notes | B/W. Arliss plays a famous pianist who following an explosion is totally deaf. Soon he learns to lip-read and using a telescope 'spies' on the conversations of people in the park he can see from his window. This shows him that many are worse off than himself and he takes steps to help them. But one day he sees his fiancee (Davis) telling a young man that she doesn't love the much older Arliss and only stays with him because of his deafness. Despite this blow he makes it possible for them to marry. First made (from the stage play) in 1922. Remade as "Sincerely Yours" (1955, see below).
