House Slaves (Swedish: Hemslavinnor) is a 1923 Swedish silent comedy film directed by Ragnar Widestedt and starring Dagmar Ebbesen, Agda Helin and Karin Swanström.[1] It was based on a 1920 Danish play which first appeared in Sweden in 1921. It was shot at studios in Kungsholmen in Stockholm with location shooting at Ränneslätt.

The plot revolves around Grethe, a young woman who heads to Stockholm to find work as a domestic servant. Ebbesen reprised the role of Kristina in the 1933 remake House Slaves, in the 1942 film We House Slaves as well as over five hundred times on stage.[2]
