Here is a picture of Lon Chaney, Senior as Echo, a ventriliquist. This picture is from The Unholy Three with Chaney disguised as an old woman.
Chaney made two versions, one silent and one sound.
The Unholy Three was the only sound picture that Lon Chaney, Sr. made and it was the last he made before his untimely death.
I taped commercial free this one off of Turner Classic Movies.,
I certainly would like to do a review on film this but not tonight. Just got home. has a 12 hour day at work.
