Note that there are several very notable things about this movie. First off, it was based on a novel written in 1891, and it was written by George Du Maurier, who was the grandfather of Daphne Du Maurier, the lady who wrote "Rebecca". It was remade in 1935 with Gary Cooper in the lead role. In 1943, Ayn Rand wrote "The Fountainhead", and she liberally borrowed the main plot of this book in having architect Gary Cooper design a house for a newspaper publisher and his wife, who was Cooper's great love (and certainly Rand saw the 1935 version, and in fact, she chose Gary Cooper to play her architect, Howard Roark, in The Fountainhead). Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
