LILAC TIME ( 1928) 207 Lon Chaney, forsaking horrors, went back to the clown characterization he had found so successful in He Who Gets Slapped. This time it was a variation of the Pagliacci story entitled Laugh, Clown, Laugh. Playing the ingenue lead was a fifteen-year-old youngster named Loretta Young, who had made her screen debut in Nauglity But Nice. Lilac Time began as a silent starring vehicle for Colleen Moore. Then sound came in, and the picture was revised, emerging with "synchronized sound effects"— meaning that appropriate noises and sounds were inserted at intervals after the film had been shot. In this scene, Colleen, disguised as a boy, is being scolded by Gary Cooper.
