Mary Philbin and Lon Chaney in the nightmarish unmasking scene from ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข (Universal Pictures, 1925) Philbin, dressed in white chiffon, is standing behind Chaneyโs right shoulder with a mortified expression as she removes the phantomโs mask from Chaneyโs face. Chaney, in hideously disfiguring makeup, is staring ahead, his eyes wide and his mouth agape revealing a row of crooked, jagged teeth. The scene was so terrifying at the time that many people in theatre audiences reportedly fainted in their seats.

(2/3) In February of 1930, Phantom was rereleased to theaters, but this time with sound that included thrilling dialogue, singing, music from Faust, and sound effects. Also added, many scenes were now in gorgeous Technicolor. #maryphilbin #universalhorror #silenthorror

As the stories go, Mary Philbin won a beauty contest with the prize being a year's contract with Universal. Eric von Stroheim, then chief director for them, saw her photo and said, โThere's the real picture star.โ

Mary Philbin as our leading lady. After her debut as a 1921 WAMPAS Baby Star she became a popular leading lady in genre and melodrama films. She retired in 1930 after making a few transitional sound films and a handful of talkies
