Many a surgeon dreams of the day when, like the mechanic faced with a worn-out fuel pump, he will be able to dip into a bank of human spare parts and fix up his patient with a replacement for.an ailing organ−even one so vital to life as a kidney or the heart itself.

As an artist might rush to his easel to sketch the characters he had encountered in a day, Chaney would go home to his makeup kit and superimpose upon his own flesh the faces he had studied in police courts, water front dives and cafés. With putty and plaster, collodion-created scars, false teeth, wigs, facial clamps, cotton stuffing and rubber dilaters, Actor Chaney would be somebody else...
