"The Phantom of the Opera" was released in New York on September 6, 1925! Among dramatizations of the novel over the years, Lon Chaney's makeup is closest to the novel's description of Erik's face. How effective that the audience sees Erik's face before Christine does. It is said that actress Mary Philbin didn't know what he'd look like until he turned around, making her reaction genuine.
