ALT__TITLE

DISABILITY Dwarf

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH 86

GENRE Crime

DIRECTOR Tod Browning

CAST Lon Chaney

Mae Busch

Matt Moore

Victor McLaglen

Harry Earles

NOTES B/W., Silent

A ventriloquist, a strongman and a dwarf turn to crime. I'm not

sure how the first part works in a silent film since they sell

parrots which are meant to talk but only thanks to the

ventriloquist's skills. Remade in 1930.

Lon Chaney plays a thief who dresses as a woman and Harry

Earles, the dwarf actor, plays a baby.
