Dennis James: The Unknown and Fugue in C Minor at The Coleman Theatre

103 N. Main Miami, Oklahoma 74354

Released in 1927, “The Unknown” is one of the last of the great studio-made silent films as sound came to the industry just three months later with the release of Al Jolson in “The Jazz Singer.” This film, considered the most unique of the eight films that Tod Browning and Lon Chaney made together at MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) studios in the late silent era. A superb mystery thriller, unusual and startling even for a Chaney film.
