Beschreibung
A Screenplay of Where East is East Starring Lon Chaney MGM, 1929. Mimeographed Manuscript, 'Where East is East, Story by Tod Browning and Harry Sinclair Drago...,' 75 pp, 4to, Culver City, CA December 31, 1928, bound with brads in goldenrod MGM wrappers with printed and typed label to upper cover, covers detached with loss, thumbing throughout. Tod Browning wrote and directed this drama set within his oft-used atmosphere, the circus. The rather bizarre plot involves a mother who attempts to sabotage the marriage of her daughter by seducing her soon-to-be son-in-law. Lon Chaney plays the doting father of the girl, played by Lupe Velez. Because of Chaney's 1930 death, this was the last film in which he worked with Browning; the two had an illustrious pairing dating back to their first film together in 1919, The Wicked Darling. In Where East is East, Chaney is again made up with facial scars to represent his life as an animal trapper. As was Browning's wont, the villainous mother, played by Estelle Taylor, meets a particularly gruesome end. 9 x 11 in.
