"I worship you Svengali, I'l even die for you."Svengali (John Barrymore) is a musical teacher, and conman, who beguiles his pupils, but when he hypnotizes Trilby (Marian Marsh) into becoming a singing sensation, he incurs the wrath of Billee (Bramwell Fletcher), who loves her.
Masterful portrayal by Barrymore, with the script demanding he move from comical rogue, to evil and callous mastermind. He is perfectly matched by Marsh, who is beautiful and beguiling enough that you believe she could entrance Svengali.
