Though she had not the atracctive or sex appeal from Clara or Louise, her epressive face made her full of grace and therefore beauty. I admire her as one of the central female figures from the beginnings of Hollywood industry. The special effects making her eyes rolling separately are amazing. Unveliaveble this film is about 100 years old.
1:35 - 1:52 Colleen Moore's eye spaz. Brilliant moment! It's throwaway gags like that make a movie special, you start wondering what *else* they are going to throw at you. Cross eye reference is to Ben Turpin. Google image him and see.
Sadly, many of her films are lost. what makes it worse is, she collected her own movies and then, decades later, when these films were thought of as "lost," she presented them to the UCLA film archive for preservation. Whereupon careless and sloppy UCLA staff allowed her donations to become exposed and rot, so now they truly ARE lost. "Flaming Youth" probably the most notorious of these, iconic 1920s movie (1923) and only snippets survive now.
I'll concede that Louise Brooks and Clara Bow were prettier, but Colleen was completely adorable -- check out her "dance" sequence! Colleen's comic chops ... she was something special.
She's so cute.. she's my favorite silent actress now
WHAT THA WHAT!?
Colleen is too adorable.
In case anyone is wondering -- according to my research, this film was released in 1926.
Colleen Moore is my favorite actress of all time.

I just got this DVD from oldies.com the other day and it is very funny.
I must have seen this on television several years ago.
Colleen looks cute sneaking down the hallway at the 0:25 mark.
Wish Kino On Video would release all of her movies on a blu-ray box set like they did with Buster Keaton.It's great to discover stars from the past..

How tragic, I would love to be able to see this movie in it’s entirety!
@@debbiewilkins1623 I believe this particular movie still exists in full. But many of Colleen's films are partially or fully lost.
♥️
Where does this excellent copy hail from?
Those eyes! She looks much better with a fringe though.
Did I just see that 😅
Maybe your eyes were playing tricks on you?
これ、最終的にあの変顔のお蔭でコンテスト受かって周りをギャフンと言わせたシーンまで入れて欲しかった😁
