Bill,

Lon Chaney Sr. is one of my favorites. It is too bad that he did not live to see the era of the "talkies." He only made one movie with sound the year that he died. Chaney Sr. was the phantom of the opera (1925) There is actually a color version of this movie that I have, although most of it is in black and white. Back in the days of the silent movies they would have organs in the theatres to establish effect. My great-grandmother was one of those that would play. I am sure that she played for a lot of Chaney's movies.
