REGENT THEATRE

"The Bride of Frankenstein."

The screen's strangest, most weirdly thrilling motion picture comes to the Regent Theatre on Friday, when "The Bride of Frankenstein" opens an engagement. Three years ago the original "Frankenstein" started the hearts of theatregoers to pounding at the exploits of "the Monster." that grotesque creature built up by a half-crazed scientist, and brought to life to pursue a bewildered career of murder and destruction. Now Universal has produced a hair-raising sequel to the original story, following the further adventures of the monster and showing how a woman is built up in the same manner and brought into the'world as his companion. Karloff is again starred in the role of the monster, and is credited with creating the strangest character ever seen on stage or screen —a terrifying giant who, in spite of his actions, will not fail to gain your sympathy. i n private life Karloff is a cultured English gentleman, but in the picture he lives up fully to his title of the Monster." "The Bride of Frankenstein" was/filmed in Hollywood, but the story is" laid in England, so the entn"e cast is British. Elsa Lanchester (Mrs. Charles Laughton) is seen as the female . monster, and other noted players in the company are Colin Clive, Valeric Hobson, O. P. Heggie. and Una O Connor. The picture was directed by James Whale.
