What Happened to Father (1927)

The title is descriptive and is not a question in which William Bradberry (Warner Oland), an absent-minded Egyptologist, turns from a henpecked husband to a dominating one who, unknown to his daughter Betty (Florence Fair as Florbelle Fairbanks) and wife (Vera Lewis), writes theatre musical comedy on the side. And saves his daughter from the unsavory millionaire, Victor Smith (John Miljan) she almost marries before she marries the decent man Tommy Dawson (Hugh Allan).
