The Summary for this unviewed film was based on contemporary reviews in the 11 Mar 1922 Exhibitors Trade Review, the 8 Apr 1922 Moving Picture World, and a six-minute fragment of the film on YouTube.
       The early part of Beauty’s Worth was shot on outdoor California locations. For the charade staged later in the picture, scene creator (set decorator) Joseph Urban built three elaborate sets: a “gemlike garden, where Marion Davies dances in the comic love story of “Columbine” and “Harlequin”; the interior of a toy shop, where she is a French doll who comes to life under a Christmas tree, along with a Scottish toy soldier and a Raggedy Ann portrayed by acrobatic clowns the Dooley Brothers; and an Indian temple, where Davies plays a “gorgeous idol” that, again, comes to life. For the latter set, Urban copied the woodwork interior from a temple in Pattan, India, which was currently an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
       The film opened 26 Mar 1922 at the Rivoli Theater in New York, the 8 Feb 1922 FD and 1 Apr 1922 Moving Picture World noted. Reviews were favorable, and the 8 Apr 1922 Moving Picture World quoted the Daily News praising Davies as “natural, pretty and convincing.” The 28 Mar 1922 FD quoted the New York Sun: “In spite of the fact...that Beauty’s Worth may not be especially effective in its appeal to the cerebellum, it is easy to wax enthusiastic over its artist appeal to the eye.” The 8 Apr 1922 Moving Picture World deemed Beauty’s Worth “a typical Marion Davies picture, of which there should be no need of an explanation....The story is of the thinnest sort, containing nothing that will in any way tax the mind.”
       When the film moved from the Rivoli to the larger Rialto Theatre for its second week, in order to accommodate the crowds, it was accompanied by Bobby Vernon’s short comedy, “Hokus Pokus,” the 5 Apr 1922 FD and 6 May 1922 Exhibitors Trade Review noted.
