A scene from the 1926 film THE MAGICIAN starring Paul Wegener as "Oliver Haddo," an occult magician based on Aleister Crowley, seen below in black. Actress Alice Terry is here introduced by Haddo to Pan during a drug hallucination sequence.

W. Somerset Maugham wrote the novel The Magician (1908) upon which this film was based; it was loosely based on the life of Aleister Crowley. (Crowley later wrote a damning review of the book, accusing Maugham of plagiarism from other occult works). (Silent and Pre-Code Horror)
