Included is a folded invitational program, and a promotional still of child actor Rickie Sorensen, who played Creighton Chaney in the film.

A loose biography of actor Lon Chaney, played by James Cagney, portraying his beginnings as a vaudeville clown, his struggle with cancer, and finally, the passing of his makeup kit to his son. Regarded as one of the better Hollywood films about Hollywood, and a high point of Cagney's career.
