The vaudeville magic act, betrayal and tragic fall scene that leaves main character Phroso Flint (Lon Chaney, Sr.) paralyzed — with Jacqueline Gadsden, Lionel Barrymore, and directed by Tod Browning.
Thanks so much for your Lon Chaney channel on YouTube. You might want to check out our channel for Lon's fellow Colorado homeboy and silent film icon, Douglas Fairbanks, and the Douglas Fairbanks Museum for more information.
The music for the first 40 seconds of this clip was also used in Harold Lloyd's movie "Dr. Jack" in the Harold Lloyd comedy collection DVD boxset. The scene where he dresses up as a crazy criminal and scares the whole house! lol Yes, please post the whole movie up! This is one Lon Chaney movie I REALLY want to see! Thanks! :D

I LOVE Lon Chaney's reactions during the magic act:
0:17-0:21
0:27-0:30
1:08-1:12
And the way he did his make-up, his face looks thinner. Amazing!
