We thought, as a matter of
fact, we were almost sure, that
the monster in the first pic ;ure
based on the antics of “Fianken
stein” was destroyed in that mill
that was consumed by fire, but
we must have been mistaken. For,
Frankenstein is not only back, but
this time he brings his mate with
him in “The Bride of Franken
stein,” which will be the Monday
Tuesday attraction next week at
the Imperial.
Frankenstein must have fallen
into a pit of water and defied the
flames in that first picture, ir»
order that Hollywood might pre
sent him in another film that the
producers no doubt hope will be as
profitable as the first. In the cur
rent yarn, he is presumably killed
again, but one would not be sur
prised to see a film some day en
Beauty or Death f
PA*.*
NEWARK, N. J. ... Mary Harriet
Heckman, 37, (above), says “give
me beauty or give me death" and
offers herself for experimental pur
poses to any doctor, surgical or plas
tic, who will try to make her beauti
ful. ‘ ‘ I will take death rather than
?o on with a body and face that make
me miserable ’ savs Marv.
itled: “Frankenstein and the Lit
tle Frankensteins,’’ or something.
After his horrendous experi
ences with Frankenstein in the
first film, his creator hasn’t a
great deal of desire for scientific
dabblings such as creating a liv
ing man. But, evil Dr. Pretorious
would like to fashion a bride for
The Monster, who is again stalk
ing the Earth.

He even forces Frankenstein to
work with him in creating his
wife, which might not be such a
bad idea at that. If every man
could help make his own wife so
many marriages might not end up
in Reno. Also, Frankenstein learns
lot only to talk, but to smoke and
drink, and he looks, with a favor
able eye on his wife, when at last
she is created.
“The Bride of Frankenstein”
should provide thrills and creeps
for those who like to “shiver ar.d
shake.” It stirs up its horrors
with a mechanical winder. The
best acting is done by Ernest
Thesiger as Dr. Pretorious. Boris
Karloff is Frankenstein, of course,
and the cast includes Colin Clive
and Valerie Hobson.

Wallace Ford is the star of
“The Nut Farm,” the story of a
movie-struck family who invests
its savings in a picture sponsored
by a group of unscrupulous pro
moters in Hollywood, for the bar
gain day attraction.
Mysterious crimes, an amazing
feat of detective work, and brood
ing bewilderment mingle with hi
larious comedy in a unique blend in
“Murder in the Fleet,” the story
of crime on a cruiser, which will
be shown next Thursday and Fri
day at the Imperial.
Thrills blend into laughs and
vice versa, as a naval lieutenant
follows a criminal amid a crowd
of civilian visitors and a ship’s
crew, impounded on a suspicion
laden ship. A sensational fight
with a murderer and an astound
ing climax in which the criminal
is disclosed after practically every
soul on board has been under sus
picion, mark high spots in excite
ment in the fast-moving play.
Jean Parker, heroine of “Se
quoia,” has her most ambitious
role to date as the sweetheart of
Robert Taylor, the young officer
who solves the crime tangle. Tay
lor, who recently scored in “Timse
Square Lady” and “Society Doc
tor,” gives an outstanding per
formance.
The veteran Jean Hersholt plays
the principal character role as the
government inspector, and comedy
interludes are in the skilled hands
of Nat Pendleton, Ted Healy, Una
Merkel and Mary Doran.

Followers of the “horse-operas”
will no doubt be overjoyed to
learn that Bob Steele will appear
in “Kid Courageous” for the Sat
urday show.
