Wiki.
Down Home is a 1920 American silent drama film written, directed, and produced by Irvin Willat and starring Leatrice Joy and James Barrows. It was distributed by the independent film distributor W. W. Hodkinson. A copy survives at the Library of Congress.
The film is based on the novel Dabney Todd, by F. N. Westcott, which was also probably a basis of Something to Think About, directed by Cecil B. DeMille, which was produced at the same time.
