LON CHANEY

From Stars of the Photoplay (1924)

LON CHANEY has earned the title of "the man of a thousand faces." His success on the screen is due to the queerest training ever given a motion picture player. His parents were deaf-mutes and they taught their children to express thoughts and ideas with a few gestures. His easy facility of gesture, with his variety of facial make-ups, soon made him one of the foremost players in the silent drama. One of his outstanding roles is that of Quasimodo in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." He is five feet, nine inches tall, weighs 155 pounds, and has brown hair and grey eyes. Married.
