Coral Gables Art Cinema presents The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

Free Screening!

In this 1925 silent gothic classic, Lon Chaney is the horribly disfigured Phantom who terrorizes the Paris Opera House seeking to make opera singer Christine (Mary Philbin) into a star. When he takes her prisoner in his subterranean chambers and demands her love, the starlet refuses once she unmasks him and flees to the surface — but the Phantom just won't take no for an answer. While The Phantom of the Opera may not strike fear into your heart, it is undoubtedly one of Chaney's most iconic roles and a showcase for the brilliant and groundbreaking self-made makeup that earned him the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Faces."
