Mary Moreland is a 1917 American silent drama film starring stage actress Marjorie Rambeau that was released through Mutual Film.

Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Thomas Maughm (Elliott), a Wall Street broker and unhappily married, finds himself in love with his secretary Mary Moreland (Rambeau). He confesses his love and she leaves his employ. After Mary has traveled around in various positions, she returns home. She learns of the death of Thomas' wife and this time she listens to his confessions of love.

Reception

Like many American films of the time, Mary Moreland was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors cut an intertitle that stated "Don't you know that your wife is going to have a child?"

Preservation

With no prints of Mary Moreland located in any film archives, it is considered a lost film.
