Description

The ‘Man of a Thousand Faces’ signs an oversized still from his 1926 Marine classic

Popular American actor (1883-1930) whose versatility in such silent-era classics as The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame earned him the moniker ‘Man of a Thousand Faces.’ Scarce vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 photo of Chaney in Marine dress uniform as he appeared in the 1926 film Tell It to the Marines, crisply signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To H. A. Slack, Troop 21, Sincerely, Lon Chaney.” In very good condition, with minor loss along the lower left edge, and staining to the upper left affecting only appearance. A rare autograph, especially on oversized photographs.
