This special issue of The Empress Arts & Music Zine is dedicated to Carla Laemmle, niece of Universal Studios founder, Carl Laemmle. Her first film role, uncredited, was as a ballerina in the silent, The Phantom of the Opera (1925), starring Lon Chaney Sr. She is the only surviving cast member of that film. (Update: The Empress was honoured to be able to dedicate this special Love Never Dies issue, at time of launching online in mid-March 2014, to actress Carla Laemmle while she was still alive. Sadly, Miss Laemmle, passed away in her sleep on June 12th, 2014. We, along with family, friends and many fans worldwide, will continue to celebrate her life and her films and will always treasure her appearance in The Phantom of the Opera (1925). We salute you evermore, Miss Laemmle. Rest in gentle peace.)
