Miss Lulu Bett
Miss Lulu Bett is a 1922 film which tells the story of an unmarried woman, treated as little better than a charwoman in the house of her married sister, who becomes the center of scandal when she is jokingly "married" to an already-married man. It stars Lois Wilson, Milton Sills, Theodore Roberts, Helen Ferguson, Mabel Van Buren and Ethel Wales.
The movie was adapted by Clara Beranger from the novel and play by Zona Gale. It was directed by William C. de Mille.
In the era prior to the Academy Awards, Miss Lulu Bett received rave reviews from the movie magazines of its time, notably Photoplay, Variety and Harrison's Report. In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
