What happens

The Fascination of the Fleur de Lis is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Bess Meredyth, and featuring Lon Chaney and Cleo Madison. A partial print of the film apparently survives in a private collection in the United Kingdom (how much footage is missing is unknown). A still exists showing Chaney in his own makeup as the Duke of Safoulrug, an excellent example of Chaney's makeup skills. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
