(1913) King Baggot, Jane Gail, Matt Snyder, Howard Crampton, William Sorelle. The first Universal horror film! The classic Stevenson tale about a doctor who tries to separate the good and evil found in all men. Watch for the scene where Hyde scares the living daylights out of the patrons of a pub simply by standing in the doorway and staring in at them. Very intense! Baggot, who was a big star in the early days of Universal, essays the title role in this early, silent horror classic. Music score, from 35mm.
