The 1923 version of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME was one of Universal Studio's super productions and still looks impressive today.
The performance of the legendary Lon Chaney, the "Man of a 1000 faces", makes this 1923 silent movie a must-see.

The film will be introduced by former National Public Radio film critic and Literature professor Randy Fischer. Q & A after the movie. This presentation is part of the long running LITERATURE IN FILM series created by Randy Fischer.

In 1923 while THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME was in production, a 3D photographer was allowed to take 3D photos of the movie while it was being filmed. These photos were never sold to the public or even published. These are the only 3D photos of Lon Chaney in full make-up for one of his movies. You will have the opportunity to view these images in 3D at The Bijou.

As a Pre-Show, hand-tinted movie theater glass slides will be shown on the big screen.

Admission $10 cash Donation at the door.

The Bijou opens at 6:30pm.
