Mr. Wu

Grand MGM sets and Maria Newman’s original score for TCM featured in the opening, as Lon Chaney appears in his first role as the senior Wu, looking to engage Muir (Claude King) for the Western style education of his grandson (Sonny Loy), in Mr. Wu, 1927.

We’ve just met Lon Chaney in his second role, as the now grown-up grandson Wu, on the occasion of his marriage (Mrs. Wong Wing as the young wife), then Chaney again, this time as the even-older, emaciated grandfather Wu, conferring with Muir (Claude King), in MGM’s Mr. Wu, 1927.
