Bela Lugosi starred as Chingaachgook in the film originally titled Leatherstocking, The Deerstalker and Chingachgook, directed by Arthur Wellin and also starring Helen Heden and Heddy Sven.
Boris Karloff, incidentally, had had an uncredired role in "The Last of the Mohicans" (Clarence Brown, 1920). During 1914, director Otis Turner brought a four reel adaptation of James Fenmore Cooper's novel "The Spy" to the screen staring actress Edna Maison. The film is considered a Lost Silent Film.
