Lon Chaney
stars as Erik, the Phantom, in what is probably his most famous and certainly his most horrifying role. Produced by Universal, the film shot in 1923 and shelved for nearly two years, and was subjected to intensive studio tinkering. While many expected a disaster, the film turned out to be a rousing success. It was both the stepping off point for
Chaney
's run as a superstar at MGM and the prototype for the horror film cycle at Universal in the 1930s. The story concerns Erik, a much-feared fiend who haunts the Paris Opera House. Lurking around the damp, dank passages deep in the cellars of the theater, he secretly coaches understudy Christine Daae (
Mary Philbin
) to be an opera star. Through a startling sequence of terrors, including sending a giant chandelier crashing down on the opera patrons, the Phantom forces the lead soprano to withdraw from the opera, permitting Christine to step in. Luring Christine into his subterranean lair below the opera house, the Phantom confesses his love. But Christine is in love with Raoul de Chagny (
Norman Kerry
). The Phantom demands that Christine break off her relationship with Raoul before he'll allow her to return to the opera house stage. She agrees, but immediately upon her release from the Phantom's lair, she runs into the arms of Raoul and they plan to flee to England after her performance that night. The Phantom overhears their conversation and, during her performance, the Phantom kidnaps Christine, taking her to the depths of his dungeon. It is left to Raoul and Simon Buquet (
Gibson Gowland
), a secret service agent, to track down the Phantom and rescue Christine.
PLEASE SEE FILM GRADING SCALE BELOW:
Mint or New
:  Means just that.  It may have been run, but still physically looks mint, untouched by a projector.
Near Mint
:  Only the slightest signs of having been run.  Appears Mint when projected on the screen.
Like New
:  Can be older print that was well taken care of.  May have only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor light line or splice or minor cue mark, if any.  Starting at this level, older prints may have a little curl to the film, which is common.
Excellent+
:  Very minimal wear or light lines at times with an occasional, although seldom, splice.  No major repairs or missing scenes transitions from TV use.
Excellent
:  Will have some minimal wear or light lines and may have an occasional temporary light emulsion line, a few splices or minor repair.  Possibly some short lap dissolves or minor cue marks around transitional scenes if it was used by a TV station, but highly acceptable condition.
Very Good
:  Will have some wear and lines, cue marks, minor repairs and usually more splices than desirable.  An occasional emulsion scratch.
Good
:  The same as Very Good but with more scratches, wear and some spots that may be splicy from having been damaged.  Still watchable.
Fair or Poor
:  Will need to be checked for extensive repairs before running.  I usually will never even list anything in this condition, only if a desirable title.
