160 THE TWENTIES The year 1925 saw the emergence of a number of stars. Two of them were Norma Shearer and William Haines. Miss Shearer had played opposite John Gilbert in He Who Gets Slapped, but it was the star of the picture, Lon Chaney, and Gilbert who got most of tire attention. Now you see her teamed with Haines as the young love interest in another Lon Chaney starring vehicle, The Tower of Lies (1925). The picture was mostly Chaney, of course, but the two youngsters managed to show their abilities, too. BELOW Norma Shearer took another step up the ladder in a picture called Waking up the Town. Jack Pickford, Marv's brother, directed it for United Artists and also played in it opposite Miss Shearer.
