We Can't Have Everything is a novel written by Rupert Hughes. The story revolves around a young woman named Lily Cardew who dreams of becoming a successful actress. She is determined to achieve her goals at any cost, even if it means sacrificing her personal life. Lily's journey takes her through the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, where she meets various people who either help or hinder her progress. Along the way, she falls in love with a wealthy man named Jack Chetwynd, but their relationship is complicated by his disapproving family and her own ambitions. As Lily navigates the challenges of her career and personal life, she learns that success comes at a price and must ultimately decide what is truly important to her. The novel explores themes of ambition, love, and sacrifice in the pursuit of one's dreams.1917. With frontispiece by James Montgomery Flag.

He adapted many of his plays and novels to the silent screen including We Can't Have Everything.
