Movies Way Back When: “Her Husband’s Secret”

By Betsy J. Green

This silent film was released on February 22, 1925. The “secret” was something that the wife did not find out about until after they were married – her husband had a wild streak. Handsome Antonio Moreno was the star. It was filmed at a million-dollar mansion in Montecito named “Beira Mar.”

One reviewer recommended that couples with marriage in mind should take in this movie. “Made especially for wives and husbands, and folks who expect to be married someday. You can’t afford to miss this unforgettable story as it tests the strongest link in marriage in bold, courageous fashion.”


Betsy’s Way Back When book — 1919 — is now available in local bookstores and at Amazon.com. This is the sixth book in her series of the history of Santa Barbara, one year at a time. Learn more at betsyjgreen.com​.
