Wiki.
Twenty Dollars a Week is a 1924 American silent comedy drama film directed by F. Harmon Weight and starring George Arliss, Taylor Holmes, and Edith Roberts. Ronald Colman, then a rising star, had a supporting role as Arliss's character's son. The film was long thought lost before a print was rediscovered in the Library of Congress collection.
In 1933, Arliss starred in a talkie remake, The Working Man, co-starring a young Bette Davis.
