The Fool is a lost 1925 American silent drama film directed by Harry Millarde. It is based on the 1922 play The Fool by Channing Pollock.[2][3][4]
As described in a film magazine review,[5] the Rector of a wealthy church loses the sympathy and support of parishioners when he preaches the doctrine of Christ to sacrifice worldly goods. He establishes a mission among the lower classes and, although he is beaten for his efforts, he gains happiness by doing good.
