The Phantom of the Opera (1925) starring Lon Chaney, Sr. and Mary Philbin features cellars below the Paris Opera House. In dungeons long forgotten lurked the dark, shadowy presence of Erik, a man whose gifts of music and magic were eclipsed by a disfigurement from birth for which he was loathed even by his own mother who forced him to cover his face with a mask. Still Erik desired, as do all, to be loved as other are, seeking that love from the beautiful young engenue Christine Daae.
