ln his Iast film - and onIy TaIkie - Lon Chaney recreates one of his famed Silent roles: the scheming ventriIoquist Prof. Echo. Disguised as Grandma O'Grady, Echo heads a robbery ring that includes a feeble-minded strongman and a cigar-chomping littIe person, the latter masquerading as Grandma's grandbaby. Known as the Man of a Thousand Faces, Chaney here dispIays a different kind of virtuosity as welI, creating five different voices to portray Echo, Grandma, a parrot, a girl and Echo's dummy. A big hit directed by Jack Conway, The UnhoIy 3 promised to launch Chaney as a major Sound Era star. He was sIated to play the titIe roIe in Tod Browning's DracuIa, but it was not to be. Chaney died onIy weeks after The UnhoIy 3 premiered. |
