Summary
Lon Chaney, whose work as the fake cripple in 'The Miracle Man' stands out as a bit of remarkable acting, to say nothing of his other impersonations, has added another characterization to his long list in his appearance as 'Quasimodo' and 'Oliver Twist.' 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' the picture production based on Hugo's classic, begins an engagement at the Coronet Theatre on Thursday. Some idea of the regard Mr. Chaney has for detail of make-up and why his Quasimodo, in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' is so remarkable and impressive in this line may be gathered from the fact he was on the 'lot' at Universal City. His work of transforming himself into Hugo's unique character requiring that amount of time.
