Voices of the City (also known as The Night Rose, its intended original release title) is a 1921 American silent crime drama film starring Leatrice Joy and Lon Chaney that was directed by Wallace Worsley, based on the Leroy Scott novel The Night Rose.

[5] While at the seedy Blue Jay cafe in San Francisco with her sweetheart Jimmy Halloran (Cullen Landis), Georgia Rodman (Leatrice Joy) is a witness to the murder of a policeman by Red O'Rourke's gang.

Offering to hide the couple, Red O'Rourke (Lon Chaney) actually plans to kill Jimmy so he can't testify against him.

[1] Goldwyn then came to an agreement with the state commission to edit the film, which removed many of Lon Chaney's scenes and inexplicably changed the name of his character from Red O'Rourke to Duke McGee.

[9] "Interesting underworld melodrama with intricate plotting and counter-plotting by a master criminal and an abundance of gun play...Lon Chaney, as always, gets the utmost out of the role of a powerful leader of lawbreakers.

Lon Chaney plays his part of the gang chief with his usual energy and ability to invest such roles with a species of sinister fascination."
