Book excerpt: Lon Chaney's "The Miracle Man" is one of the famous "lost" films of the silent movie era. A bold, riveting expose of a phony "faith healer," this film saw the "Man of a Thousand Faces" once again playing a grotesque, pathetic character, yet one the audience can still feel sympathy for. Though a complete print of the original film may be lost forever, the novel it is based on, by Frank L. Packard, lives on. Follow the monstrous lives of old-time criminals and religious frauds in this buried treasure from the past.
