An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Shadow of Silk Lennox, the 1935 Ray Kirkwood & Jack Nelson crime melodrama starring Lon Chaney Jr. (in the title role as John Arthur 'Silk' Lennox), Dean Benton, Marie Burton, Jack Mulhall, Eddie Gribbon, Larry McGrath, and Allen Greer. Note that Lon Chaney Jr. did not like living in the shadow of his ultra successful father, Lon Chaney Sr., and he did not appear in movies during his father's lifetime. After his father passed away in 1930, Chaney started appearing in movies under his real name of Creighton Chaney, without much success. In 1935, a producer convinced him that it would pay off royally if he would change his name to Lon Chaney Jr., and under that name, he starred in this movie, the first time he received this billing! But that did not lead to much better roles until 1939, when he played Lenny in "Of Mice and Men", and received fantastic reviews. But once again, his career did not take off, until he starred in "The Wolf Man" in 1941, and that led to a very successful series of Universal horror movies!
