Folded pages. Zustand: Fine. Illustrated (illustrator). First Edition. Program for The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a 1923 American film directed by Wallace Worsley, starring Lon Chaney, and produced by Carl Laemmle and Irving Thalberg. One page, folded, printed in brown ink, decorated, with portrait of Lon Chaney. The supporting cast includes Patsy Ruth Miller, Norman Kerry, Nigel de Brulier, and Brandon Hurst. The film was Universal's "Super Jewel" of 1923 and was their most successful silent film, grossing over $3 million. The film is most notable for the grand sets that recall 15th century Paris as well as Lon Chaney's performance and spectacular make-up as the tortured bell-ringer of Notre Dame. The film elevated Chaney, already a well-known character actor, to full star status in Hollywood, and also helped set a standard for many later horror films, including Chaney's The Phantom of the Opera in 1925. In 1951, the film entered the public domain (in the USA) due to the claimants failure to renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication. Fine.

The sixth and final Inner Sanctum installment, featuring spiritualists, a haunted house, and a murder by suffocation, in what was seemingly a last gasp from the studio's film series. Sadly, the film's failure superseded its potential, even with all the right elements of a chilling melodrama. Chaney,Jr. plays attorney Wayne Fletcher, who is engaged in an affair with his secretary, Donna (Joyce), who is tied to a rich family. He arrives home after a late night at the office to discover his wife has been murdered, a death by asphyxiation, with Wayne as the suspect. With the help psychic Julian Julian (Bromberg), the police investigate the murder. The psychic's motives are questionable, but he says he can contact Wayne's dead wife. At a seance to reach Vivian's spirit, the reluctant Wayne hears what he thinks is her voice but discovers Julian Julian in the shadows and accuses him of conspiracy. After several sleepless nights haunted by the voice of his lost wife, Wayne finally "gives in" to her spirit and attempts to kill Donna with a pillow, but is overpowered by police and leaps from a window to his death, per his wife's instructions.
