\"\"<\/a>Francis Ford Coppola wasn\u2019t around to give writer W. Somerset Maugham his father\u2019s famous advice about \u201cstealing\u201d from the best to create your own art, but mystic Aleister Crowley accused the British author of doing just that after he read Maugham\u2019s 1908 novel, The Magician<\/em>. Maybe it was just sour grapes\u2014seeing as how Maugham\u2019s fantasy-terror tale was said to be inspired in part by Crowley\u2019s life\u2014but in Maugham\u2019s story of a mad medical student who dabbles in the occult secrets of creating life (not to mention unnecessary surgery), Crowley saw elements he felt were directly lifted variously from Rosenroth\u2019s Kabbalah Unveiled<\/em>, as well as a\u00a0book about 16th<\/sup>-century physician\/alchemist Paracelsus and H.G. Wells\u2019 man-beast classic The Island of Dr. Moreau<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sounds like\u00a0that\u00a0could be a great movie? Not only has The Magician<\/em><\/a>, the obscure 1926 silent thriller made from Maugham\u2019s book, produced and directed by Rex Ingram<\/a>, available on DVD (as part of the Warner Archive Collection<\/a>)\u2014it is a must<\/em>-see for chiller fans most acquainted with star Paul Wegener<\/a>‘s more famous turn as The Golem<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here, Wegener plays Oliver Haddo (the magician of the title), a Parisian medical student obsessed with conducting magical experiments involving the creation of life. Haddo finds a beautiful (if initially unwilling) subject in the form of sculptor Margaret Dauncey (Alice Terry, Ingram\u2019s wife), who is horribly injured while working on a humongous faun sculpture\u2014a decidedly creepy thing that reminds one ever so clearly of Gary Oldman\u2019s\u00a0chalk-white, beehive-hairdo\u00a0appearance in Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula<\/em>\u2014that cracks apart and falls on top of her, crushing her to the ground.<\/p>\n

\"Magician

Magician 1926 Paul Wegener and Alice Terry<\/p><\/div>\n

Her life is spared when her uncle, Dr. Porhoet (Firmin G\u00e9mier), recruits handsome physician Arthur Burdon (Iv\u00e1n Petrovich) for the emergency operation. The operating theater is where Haddo first observes Margaret; after overhearing colleagues nearby commending Burdon and singing the praises of modern medicine, Haddo sneers and declares that true genius resides in the mastery of magic and the creation of life itself. There and then, he decides to pursue a relationship with Margaret in order to facilitate his otherworldly ambitions.<\/p>\n

Haddo steals the secret formula for creating life by finding it inside a book of magic residing in the \u201cLibrary of the Arsenal\u201d (how convenient!) and proceeds to ingratiate himself into Margaret\u2019s life. In a particularly memorable sequence that revives memories of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari<\/em> and the Bela Lugosi chiller Murders in the Rue Morgue,<\/em> Haddo meets up with Margaret, Burdon (who has quickly fallen in love with his patient), and Porhoet at the local fair, proving his supernatural prowess by surviving the bite of a poisonous snake. Margaret is appropriately creeped out by Haddo\u2019s attentions, but, as we know from obsessed-genius-shockers\u00a0like Mad Love<\/em> and The Raven<\/em>, once the lunatic Beast has set his eyes on his ravishing Beauty, he\u2019s not so easily discouraged.<\/p>\n

Before long, Haddo is invading the privacy of her home, hypnotizing her with visions of a Hell resembling the churning chaos found in Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages<\/em>, in a color-tinted sequence that also sees Wegener looking a bit like Emil Jannings\u2019 Mephisto character from Faust<\/em>, complete with hair slicked oh-so-oddly-and-neatly into twin \u201chorns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Haddo\u2019s demented plan can only work if he combines the \u201cingredients\u201d of life with the heart blood of \u201ca maiden of fair skin\u201d and golden hair, and Margaret\u2019s plan to marry Burdon is something he cannot permit. Haddo manages to spirit the girl away and marry her (\u201cin name only,\u201d we\u2019re later assured), an outrage that leads Burdon and Porhoet on a chase to Monte Carlo, where the newlywed couple is engaged in scamming money from the casino with the help of Margaret\u2019s new psychic powers (?!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The war between good and evil finds its climax inside Haddo\u2019s towering castle (where he is not-so-ably assisted by a dwarf servant in the Verne Troyer mold) in the village of Latourette, as her uncle and her lover race to break inside\u2014during a dark and stormy night, of course\u2014and stop Haddo from slicing open her chest and removing her still-beating heart.<\/p>\n

The Magician<\/em> deserves a dramatic rediscovery by horror and silent film fans. It has some imperfections, to be sure\u2014there are many awkward narrative transitions, but anyone who adores the Universal classics of the \u201830s won\u2019t be put off in the least as the film races through its brisk 79-minute running time\u2014but there are many, many pleasures to be found here\u00a0by genre fans. First and foremost is the performance of Wegener, which is only a thick slice of ham in as much as he successfully rises to the requirements of the outsized role. He\u2019s a very colorful human monster, and comes across like a wild combination of Lionel Atwill, Jack Palance, and Klaus Maria Brandauer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ingram\u2019s direction is lively and the cinematography by John F. Seitz (who has an enormous filmography, from Curly Top<\/em> to Madame X<\/em>, Another Thin Man<\/em>, The Moon and Sixpence<\/em>, Invaders from Mars<\/em>, and many, many others) is thick with atmosphere. In addition to the spectacular sets\u2014James Whale is said to have studied the film\u2019s castle scenes before shooting Frankenstein<\/em>, and it shows\u2014there are many gorgeously composed, carefully framed location scenes in Paris and Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s some very eccentric comic relief in the film\u2014so goofy it feels completely at home with the rest of the bizarre proceedings. Something must also be said about the brilliant casting and usage of the bit parts and extras. Your eyes can wander over the screen and see one interesting face after another, and it\u2019s unusual to see how well actors given the tiniest of roles here are afforded their moment in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Lastly, a crucial addition to this release is the new musical score by Robert Israel. Fans will instantly recognize the ever-popular \u201cSwan Lake\u201d passage from Dracula<\/em> and The Mummy<\/em>, as well as very specific classical cues from the Karloff-Lugosi The Black Cat<\/em>, which are pleasures unto themselves, but Israel too makes some other fresh and bold choices with the orchestration and times many of the cues very effectively to specific action.<\/p>\n

Monster kids, don\u2019t miss The Magician<\/em>. I think you\u2019ll be distinctly satisfied and find a new\u00a0classic to place alongside your better-known favorites.<\/p>\n
