AUSTIN, TX FEB 28– What can you do with your feet?  In Tod Browning's 1927 silent film "The Unknown," Lon Chaney plays Alonzo, an armless sharpshooter and knife thrower in a Spanish gypsy circus.   Alonzo smokes cigarettes, shoots a rifle, plays guitar, and throws knives with his feet, an effect Chaney produced with the help of a real-life armless double (Paul Desmuke).  Alonzo's lovely assistant  Nanon (Joan Crawford)  is the object of his secret affection, but he is not without competition--circus strong man Malabar (Norman Kerry) is also in love with Nanon, but it seems she cannot bear to have a man's hands touch her.   This beautiful and macabre film features Chaney in what is arguably the best performance of his career.
