Once a year moviegoers make a pilgrimage to Catalina Island and transport themselves back to the silent film era of the 1920s. The Catalina Island Museum's Silent Film Benefit presents the early cinema the way it was intended to be enjoyed in one of the grandest movie palaces of the day, on a big screen with live accompaniment. "The Phantom of the Opera" 1925, Starring Lon Chaney An American silent horror film adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel of the same name. Lon Chaney stars in the title role as the deformed Phantom, who haunts the Paris Opera House. Murder and mayhem fill the opera house as the Phantom attempts to make the woman he loves a star, even though she loves another man. Lon Chaney is also known for his role as Quasimodo in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." His creative and nontraditional use of make-up earned him the nickname of "The Man of a Thousand Faces." Live accompaniment by a 30-piece symphony orchestra, a soprano vocalist and the Avalon Theatre Page pipe organ. Conducted by Grammy Award-winning Richard Kaufman.
