Take Me Home is a 1928 silent comedy produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The film was directed by Marshall Neilan and starred Bebe Daniels and Neil Hamilton.

Peggy Lane joins David North's chorus but becomes jealous when she discovers that Delerys Devore, the show's star, is of interest to David more than her.
