“FRANKENSTEIN.”
Boris Ivarloff, who plays the murderous monster of Universal's “Frankenstein” at the Princess Theatre, is more than six feet. in height and weighs more than 200 pounds. Nevertheless, Director James Whale thought him far too diminutive for the scientificallymanufactured criminal of the eerie thriller, and added exactly 48 pounds of make-up and additional body structure to him for the characterisation. Karloff's make-up, guarded religiously by Universal employees, during the making of the film, lest the pubilc receive , an inkling of the picture’s odd mystery, character, is said to be the most unusual and terrifying that the screen has even seen. Theatre patrons whose nerves were supposed to be jumpy were warned not to see it. So they J are going in droves. They are convin- | ced that Boris Karloff can take up J the mantle of Lon Chaney. Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan and Frederick Kerr head the cast with Karloff. Shorts j include Bobby Jones Golf Short and serial.
