Description

The Phantom of the Opera (Universal, 1925). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
A Universal "Super Jewel" for 1925, this was one of the studio's most lavish and impressive productions. Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, about a mad "ghost" that haunts the Paris Opera House, this film stars Lon Chaney in perhaps his most famous and recognizable role. As the deformed Erik, Chaney brings a palpable sense of pathos to the character that makes the entire film absolutely unforgettable. Offered here is a great lobby card from the original release of this picture, featuring Arthur Edmund Carewe and Norman Kerry as they search the labyrinth of sewers below the Opera House for the deranged Erik. The card has a small tear in the top border, a tear in the right border, and tape on the reverse, but is otherwise extremely clean and attractive. Paper from this title is very rare and highly desirable, so you'll want to get your bid in on this beauty today! Very Fine+.
