Trilby is a 1923 American silent drama film directed by James Young and starring Andrée Lafayette, Creighton Hale, and Arthur Edmund Carewe.

[2] Arthur Edmund Carewe had a very successful career as an actor until he died in 1937, appearing in several horror classics such as The Phantom of the Opera (1925) and Mystery in the Wax Museum (1933).

Creighton Hale also went on to appear in several silent horror classics as well, including The Cat and the Canary (1927) and Seven Footprints to Satan (1929).

Director Young shot two different endings for the film, one following the novel in which Trilby dies, and one in which she lives (as in the revamped 1915 version by Maurice Tourneur).

[3] The first sound film version of Trilby was made in the United States in 1931 (also retitled Svengali), considered by critics to be "the definitive adaptation" today.
