Lights Out is a 1923 American silent crime drama film directed by Alfred Santell and starring Ruth Stonehouse, Walter McGrail and Theodore von Eltz. It is based on the 1922 play Lights Out by Paul Dickey and Mann Page, later adapted into the 1938 film Crashing Hollywood. The remake was more light-hearted than the melodramatic tone of the original.
Two criminals encounter a screenwriter on a train and persuade him to create a screenplay about the criminal underworld. In an attempt to revenge themselves on one of their former associates, they negatively depict him in the work. After seeing the film he heads to the film studio seeking revenge.
Previously thought lost, Russian film archive Gosfilmofond had a print and made a digital copy of it and gifted it to the Library of Congress under the wrong title in 2010. It wasn't discovered until 2023 that it was realized to be this title, or that this title survived in any form. It was made available as a digital download, DVD and Blu-ray on Kickstarter from silent film enthusiast and restorer Joseph Harvat.
