Le Secret du Lone Star is a 1920 French silent film directed by Jacques de Baroncelli. Along with la Rafale (1920), this was one of two Baroncelli films featuring Fannie Ward.[1] Gaumont hoped that featuring an American actress would lead to a breakthrough in American cinema markets, but the two films were mostly unsuccessful and Baroncelli subsequently focused on French audiences.[1][2]: 16, 89
Le Secret du Lone Star helped establish the adoption of orphaned or abandoned children by lone adults as a major subject of 1920s French cinema.[2]: 79
