Lon Chaney in His Greatest Role -- January 15, 2025

Tulsa Daily World, 03-January-1925

I have not written about Lon Chaney often enough. Swedish director Victor Sjöström (billed as Victor Seastrom) directed Chaney, Norma Shearer, John Gilbert and Tully Marshall in He Who Gets Slapped, based on a play by Leonid Andreyev. Chaney gave a remarkable performance as a man who acted out his humiliation every day as a clown. This M-G-M's first production.

Note "Extra! Cross-Word Puzzle Fun For the Film Fans." Crossword puzzles were a craze in 1925.
