Your reputation is a German silent film drama from 1913 with Henny Porten in the leading role.
action
Chemist Helms wants to please his child and for this reason is working on a rocket in his laboratory. When the test is ignited, a spark arises, ends up in the chemical container and sets the entire laboratory on fire. Soon the entire building is on fire. Helms is seriously injured and is only pulled out of the laboratory at the last moment. After a long hospital stay, Helms is all the more astonished to find his laboratory brand new. The cost was paid for by his savings, but his recovery in the hospital also devoured a lot of money. Now Helms is facing financial ruin.
Henny, his wife, hides all these dramatic developments from him and even appears in the Variété with so-called “living pictures” in order to earn a little extra money. Her husband has no idea of their activities and, barely recovered, is already busy day and night in his laboratory mixing up a new explosive. One day he suspects and finds out what Henny is doing behind his back. He sees their good reputation damaged by their "Tingel-Tangel" activities. He is very angry about this and reproaches his wife for it. When he learns of her noble reasons, however, Helms begs his Henny ruefully for forgiveness.

criticism
“Henny Porten… achieves its effects with simple means and without sought-after ornamentation. It is always limitless modesty. In her new, three-act play "Your good reputation", too, these qualities work splendidly. (…) This argument, played excellently by Henny Porten and Mr Stark, is touching delicacy. But the scenes in the vaudeville, the "living images", are extremely successful. "
