Regeneration (alternately called The Regeneration ) is a 1915 American silent biographical crime drama co-written and directed by Raoul Walsh. The film, which was the first full-length feature film directed by Walsh, stars Rockliffe Fellowes and Anna Q. Nilsson and was adapted for the screen by Carl Harbaugh and Walsh from the memoir My Mamie Rose, by Owen Frawley Kildare (a Bowery tough himself) and the adapted play by Kildare and Walter C. Hackett.

Regeneration

The floor of loneliness
As the wicker casket is horse-drawn away
The mouth-harp and cat
His only friends at play

The cruelty of neighbours
Forced to run in mutiny
The new home is gangland
His perilous destiny

The glory of an ice-cream cone
and vaudeville show
a notion of freedom
and the whisper of a self-reliance glow

Two solitudes
Awaiting intervention’s hand
Then comes the calm
Of a settlement house planned

Education
Inspiration
Love

As the noble pure soul
Waves her wand to impart
the potential of mind
and a God-given heart
