This one ?
This was just shared on the Lon Chaney Fans Facebook page by Stanely Gilbert. But anyways, it's a production still from Lassie (or some Lassie related thing) and it seems to be another example of a James Cagney Phantom costume and mask but I think the mask looks a little different. And the costume is definitely different. So does anyone know anything about this? Was this also a Ben Cooper variant? Could the costume originally have come with a different mask?
There are only a couple eye witness renditions of the Phantom I trust:
Oh absolutely! James Bama and Basil Gogos illustrated only what they observed in the wild (so to speak).
What was with the Cagney obsession in the 60's? I mean, I get that Man of a Thousand Faces was more recent than the actual Phantom of the Opera movie but it's still weird. Was Universal only officially licensing the appearance from that movie at the time? Well, I know the Don Post masks actually did the Lon Chaney look. So I don't know. Maybe MOATF stills were just more common at the time to work with?
Still don't get it. Gogos worked from photos.
I believe the reason Bela Lugosi is now immortalized as Count Dracula is because of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. But for his appearance in that film, he would have been forgotten to an entire generation, replaced by some other Dracula in all the model kits and masks. And that's the weird thing about Lugosi... He was very much present in the Monster Kid Generation, and would have continued to be for decades to come, but lawsuits took him away from the public eye for all that time. But, because of his A&C appearance, he became secured as our collective vision of Dracula. And that's the reason we never got any replacement Dracula merchandise in all those decades. It was either no Dracula or a generic Lugosi knockoff. Had Carradine or another actor played Dracula in A&CMF, we'd probably have another Universal Dracula. The lawsuits did more harm than good for the Dracula image. But Bela persists because he was Dracula at the beginning and the end.
....to the general public Lugosi is Dracula. He was still represented in pop culture regardless who was currently on screen.Whenever anyone else played Drac they were immediately compared to Lugosi.
