THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Oakland’s Paramount Theatre
The 1925 classic The Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney, Norman Kerry, and Mary Philbin, will be screened at the art deco Paramount Theatre of Oakland, Calif., at 8 p.m. on October 31. Matias Bombal will present the evening, while Jim Riggs will be at the Mighty Wurlitzer accompanying the screening.
Directed by Rupert Julian, and adapted by numerous hands (including those of Raymond L. Schrock and Elliott J. Clawson) from Gaston LeRoux’s novel, The Phantom of the Opera remains one of the best-known silent films ever made. It may not be Lon Chaney’s greatest, but no one should miss the chance of seeing this grandiose film on the big screen of an old, old (as in 1931) movie palace.
All seats are $5.00.
