164 THE TWENTIES Up to 1925 Colleen Moore had been associated mainly with light-comedy parts. But the screen adaptation of Edna Ferber's novel, So Big, gave her her chance. As the schoolteacher who marries a farm boy and then works in the field to support her child, Miss Moore ( at the right, in the above still ) revealed herself an uncommonly gifted young emotional actress. Wallace Beery and Gladys Brockwell played the farmer and his wife at whose house the schoolteacher stayed. BELOW Beery gave another fine performance that year in a film version of Conan Dovle's The Lost World. In this scene, Lloyd Hughes and Bessie Love are with him. The film, directed by Harry Hoyt, showed a group of explorers discovering a lost world of saurians. It used rubber models and double exposures effectively.
