Lon Chaney and Renée Adorée in The Blackbird (Tod Browning, 1926)

Cast: Lon Chaney, Owen Moore, Renée Adorée, Doris Lloyd, Andy MacLennan, Willam West, Sidney Bracey, Ernie Adams. Screenplay: Tod Browning, Waldemar Young; titles: Joseph Farnham. Cinematography: Percy Hilburn. Art direction: Cedric Gibbons, A. Arnold Gillespie. Film editing: Errol Taggart.

The Blackbird begins with an atmospheric re-creation of Victorian Limehouse, but it turns into a routine melodrama, a showcase for Lon Chaney, who plays both the title character, a thief, and his alter ego, the Bishop, who pretends to be a missionary in the district. No one seems to suspect that the Blackbird and the Bishop are the same person, because in the latter persona Chaney contorts himself, holding one shoulder higher than the other and twisting one leg into an impossible position. Eventually, this masquerade will prove the truth of your mother's warning that if you keep contorting your face or body like that, it'll freeze that way. But in the meantime, the Blackbird falls for a music hall performer, Fifi Lorraine (Renée Adorée), who is also being pursued by a society toff (Owen Moore) known as West End Bertie. He's a thief, too, but in his case love for Fifi proves stronger than larceny. Tod Browning, who also wrote the screenplay (with Waldemar Young), handles this nonsense well. Adorée is charming, and her slightly risqué puppet show is fun, but the only real reason to see this movie is to admire Chaney's unfailing commitment to his considerable art.

JOHN GILBERT & RENÉE ADORÉE in THE BIG PARADE — 1925, dir. King Vidor

[John Gilbert] wrote of Vidor: “In directing the picture [King Vidor] seems to convey some of his ideas through his silence better than they could be explained by most producers. “Renée Adorée, for instance, never knew she was even going to chew gum when we sat down in one of the most famous scenes from the movie. I had the gum and as we looked at each other I pulled it out and gave her some... She didn’t beforehand think of swallowing it, but we discovered afterward that she was expected to by Mr. Vidor.” After that chewing-gum scene, in which the American boy gives the French girl her first stick of gum and she eats it, Vidor leaped to his feet shouting, “I’ll be damned if I ever saw a scene as good as that!” — Dark Star by Leatrice Gilbert Fountain
