Summary
Coronet Theatre will begin to screen 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' on Thursday. The picture is based on Victor Hugo's classic and features Lon Chaney who is famous for his roles in 'The Miracle Man' and 'Oliver Twist.' Lon Chaney mentions that he has performed the torturous role that called for great artifice. However, he was helped and encouraged thoroughly by Mr. Carl Laemmle. To achieve a perfect screen version of Hugo's masterpiece, it took a long time and a stupendous amount of money.
