The Phantom of the Opera 100th Anniversary Screening – Chicago Event
The Silent Film Society of Chicago proudly presents a once-in-a-century event: the 100th anniversary of the 1925 silent film classic The Phantom of the Opera. Starring the legendary Lon Chaney (“The Man of 1,000 Faces”), Mary Philbin, and Norman Kerry, this film is a cornerstone of cinematic history. Directed by Rupert Julian and based on Gaston Leroux’s haunting novel, it remains one of the most iconic works of the silent film era.
For decades, Jay Warren captivated audiences by providing the live pipe organ score for The Phantom of the Opera. Known for his artistry and passion, Warren considered this film one of his greatest joys to accompany. Now, through the Jay Warren Legacy Archive, audiences will experience a never-before-heard recorded performance of his original organ score, preserving his legacy in a truly special way.
The event will take place at the Filament Theatre in Chicago, one of Warren’s favorite intimate venues, with multiple screenings to ensure every film lover has the chance to attend.
