Wiki.
The Marriage Clause is a 1926 silent film drama directed by Lois Weber and starring Francis X. Bushman and Billie Dove. It was produced and released by Universal Pictures. The film marked a return to directing for Weber, who had taken a break for a few years.
The film—based on Dana Burnet's Saturday Evening Post short story titled Technic—takes a look behind the scenes of a play, honing in on a young starlet named Sylvia (Dove) and her director, Barry (Bushman).
The copy held by the Library of Congress is stated to be in a "shortened" version.
