Lon Chaney had yet to star in his most famous role as The Phantom of the Opera when he wrote this piece about the importance of actor's characterization that was included in the book, THE TRUTH ABOUT MOVIES: BY THE STARS. Edited by Laurence A. Hughes, it was published in 1924.
This was not the first time Chaney had commented on the acting profession, and as you can see, he took the subject very seriously. His portrayals of tragic and multi-ethnic characters were unequaled in the silent film era.
