THE UNKNOWN (1927)
Movie: The Unknown (1927)
“Alonzo is an assumingly armless blade thrower who uses his feet to confine Estrellita with blades. Zanzi is killed by Alonzo (who unequivocally does have arms). Estrellita allows herself to tumble in adore with Alonzo (she fears men’s arms), so he goes to a sanatorium as well as has his amputated. Meantime Malabar cures Estrellita of her fright of men’s arms, so Alonzo tries to have him killed during a playground act. Written by Ed Stephan {stephan@cc.wwu.edu}”
