About This Item
1925 Phantom of the Opera 1st ed Gaston Leroux Lon Chaney Photoplay FAMED Webber
Audiences everywhere are acquainted with Gaston Leroux's 'Phantom of the Opera.' The story of Erik, a horrifically disfigured man who lives beneath the Paris Opera House, where his creative genius mingles and festers with madness. First published in 1911, the Phantom's obsessive and consuming love for the beautiful young chorus girl Christine has captivated readers, film goers and musical theater fanatics for over 100 years. The Phantom of the Opera has become the source for numerous adaptations, including the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony Award-winning musical.
This early 19th century "Phantom of the Opera" includes an original dustjacket, illustrations by André Castaigne and scenes from Universal's silent film starring Lon Chaney with six full-page illustrations, two of which are double-page and in color.

Synopsis
The Phantom of the Opera is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from September 23, 1909 to January 8, 1910. Initially, the story sold very poorly upon publication in book form and was even out of print several times during the twentieth century, despite the success of its various film and stage adaptations. The most notable of these were the 1925 film depiction and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.
