The Rev. Dell's Secret is a 1924 Australian silent film directed by P. J. Ramster. It is considered a lost film.
Reverend David Dell (Rex Simpson) does missionary work in the Sydney underworld. He comes across a young girl, Juanita (Joy Wood), who is forced to dance in a sleazy cabaret after the death of her mother by Nick Grummit, a man who pretends to be her father. Dell tries to save her, taking her to a good home. But Grummit and his men track her down and Dell is blinded by a bottle in a fight to save her. Dell is looked after an admirer, Joyce (Thelma Newling), while Juanita goes on to become a star ballerina. Joyce dies and Dell and is reunited with the reverend.[2][3]
