His Jazz Bride is a 1926 American silent drama film released by Warner Brothers Pictures. The movie starred Marie Prevost and Matt Moore.

Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[1] Gloria Gregory's extravagance causes marital trouble for her husband Dick. She is influenced by a chum, May Seymour, and both are jazz-crazy, attending liquorish parties and spending lavishly. Alec Seymour accepts a bribe as an inspector and passes an unsafe steamer as being seaworthy. The boat is put into the excursion trade. Gloria is aboard the steamer on a trip attending a midnight drunken party when Dick reaches the vessel and tries to warn the captain and passengers of the danger, but he is ignored. The ship's boilers explode, and the steamer sinks while its reckless passengers continue dancing and drinking. Dick and Gloria are saved, and she promises to reform her flapper ways.

Preservation

It is unknown if a copy of the film survives. Warner Bros. records of the film's negative have a notation, "Junked 12/27/48" (i.e., December 27, 1948). Warner Bros. destroyed many of its negatives in the late 1940s and 1950s due to nitrate film pre-1933 decomposition. Or in February 1956, Jack Warner sold the rights to all of his pre-December 1949 films to Associated Artists Productions. In 1969, UA donated 16mm prints of some Warner Bros. films from outside the United States. However, a few sources show no surviving copies, which suggests that it is a lost film.[2][3]
