Lon Chaney -- A Thriller de Luxe -- March 15, 2025


Los Angeles Times, 11-March-1925

My fiancée, who is now my wife, and I used to go to San Francisco's Avenue Theater, on San Bruno Avenue, where Bob Vaughn accompanied silent movies on the Mighty Wurlitzer every Friday night.

Every year around Halloween, the Avenue showed The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney.

We went just about every year, so we probably attended this showing.

Carl Laemmle, President of Universal, decided that the film should have its premiere at San Francisco's Curran Theater on Geary near Mason. The Curran now hosts mostly musical theater. I saw Pacific Overtures, Wicked and many others there.
