At the age of IS, Lon Chaney, Sr. entered show
business, as a stagehand in a Colorado Springs theater.
After a short time, he drifted into bit parts in nu-
merous theatrical productions. Eventually, he found
himself a member of a traveling stock company or-
ganized by his brother John, which performed along
the West Coast. When bad times hit the company,
John was forced to sell his share in it, but Lon re-
mained with the group, practicing his fine art of
‘make believe.”
At the age of 19, Lon married Cleva Creighton,
an actress. A son, Creighton Tull, was born (Lon
Chaney, Jr,). Months later, the family moved to
Chicago, where Lon Chaney, Sr. found work in sev-

Cleva. For the following few years, Chaney directed
two-reelers, wrote scripts and acted in bit parts
in many silent movies.
1916 was the year in which Lon Chaney, Sr. be-
gan his emergence as the great creator of the macabre.
This was also the year in which he began his experi-
mentations with make-up. His first big break in
motion pictures occurred in 1918 when he portrayed
the villain in William S. Hart’s classic western, “Rid-
dle Gawne." “The Miracle Man,” “Treasure Island,”
“Victory,” “The Penalty" and “Oliver Twist” soon
followed.
However, the masterpiece which made Lon Chan-
ey, Sr. the monster's monster was Universal’s 1923
production of Victor Hugo's immortal “The Hunch-
back of Notre Dame.” For the role of Quasimoto,
he wore 70 pounds of make-up, For three months,
he arrived at the studio at 6 A.M. and left at 8 or
night. When “The Hunchback” was finally

a new superstar of the screen, Lon Chaney.
In 1925, Chaney made two highly acclaimed films,
“The Unholy Three” and “The Phantom of the
Opera.” Many of his admirers still consider his por-
trayal of the Phantom as his most remarkable role
and his most challenging make-up job. (It had ac-
tually required five hours to apply the necessary
make-up.)
One of Lon Chaney’s rare motion pictures in which
he used no make-up was “Tell it to the Marines”
(1927). Afthis time, his health began to deteriorate,
and a growth in his throat was discovered. Chaney
entered a Los Angeles hospital for a check-up, and
the doctors diagnosed cancer of the throat. He died
on August 26, 1930. The world had lost its first
great King of the Monsters, but the King had left
a legacy of great film classics, his make-up kit, and
his son,Lon Chaney, Jr.

FIRST MEN ON THE MOON


REVIEWED BY BOSLEY VAN SWAMP of fhe Transylvania Times newspaper.

“Was this trip necessary?”“Yes” is the reply, if you want to enjoy a spine-chilling science fiction
picture about two men and a girl who landed their home-made space ship on the Moon in the late
1800’s. H.G. Wells is the author of this epic, and now Columbia Pictures has made it into a great
mooning picture. FOR MONSTERS ONLY Magazine gives it four stars and three meteors. Go see
it if you’re interested in a movie that’s sure to make you sit on the edge of your seat. You’ll be

moonstruck and starry eyed if you do.
