Ten Nights in a Barroom is an American film released in 1926. The film had a temperance theme and followed on Timothy Shay Arthur's 1854 novel Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There and William W. Pratt's play, as well as earlier film adaptations (albeit with white casts) listed at Ten Nights in a Barroom. A man's drinking causes him to lose money, his business, and his daughter.[1] The film has been restored and is archived at the Library of Congress.[2] Charles Gilpin stars. The film was released during the Prohibition era.[3] Roy Calnek directed.[4]

Oscar Micheaux's film company was a rival and released films that competed with the newer film company's releases, in this case The Spider's Web was released a week after it debuted.[5]
