Fright Night Comes to the Portage Theater
Lon Chaney stars in the Phantom of the Opera in a special Halloween presentation at the Portage Theater on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 7:45 p.m.
Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, Phantom is the story of a bizarre love triangle featuring Christine, the lovely singer debuting at the Paris Opera House, the Phantom, the mysterious masked stranger who seems to have an uncanny power over her, and her fiance, Raoul. When Christine rejects the Phantom's advances, he takes revenge. This fast-paced drama features many memorable scenes, from the crashing chandelier to the famous unmasking of the Phantom and the final chase through the streets of Paris.
Silent film master accompanist Jay Warren will perform the score for Phantom. Warren has accompanied most of the great silent films, and most recently provided photoplay music for programs at the Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, and of course, the Silent Film Society's annual Silent Summer Film Festival. Warren has also performed at the University of Chicago's famed Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.
Tickets are $8 for adults, $7 for students and seniors. Day of show tickets are $10. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the City Newsstand, 4018 N. Cicero or at the Portage Theater box office at 4050 N. Milwaukee Avenue during box office hours. For more details, contact the Silent Film Society at 773-205-7372.
