Summary

Lon Chaney, the star of 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' is at his best in the Goldwyn melodrama, 'A Blind Bargain,' which will be the attraction at the Queen's Theatre for four days, commencing today. In this picture, he adds two faces to the thousand he has previously accumulated and it is safe to say that without the guidance of the cast of characters, no one would recognise him. Nor by any stretch of the imagination could either characterization be connected in any way with Chaney's roles in 'The Penalty' or 'Ace of Hearts,' his former Goldwyn pictures.
