HOLLYWOOD CHATTER 1 MINUTE: ANNOUNCER: This is your movieland reporter bringing you interesting highlights about screen stars and motion pictures . . . did you know that Boris Karloff, besides being one of the scariest actors in Hollywood, is also one of the wealthiest? And most of his income does NOT come from the movies. Karloff, who plays a major role in LURED, was an investor in the tremendously suc¬ cessful stage plays “Arsenic and Old Lace” and “State of the Union.” “Arsenic” ran for four years on Broadway and played every state in the land and many foreign countries. So Boris has been banking royalty checks on “Arsenic” for six years and doing almost as well on “The State of the Union.” He also shares in the movie rights of all Lindsay and Crouse productions. ANNOUNCER: And now for a little Hollywood chatter . . . Boris Karloff, who menaces Lucille Ball in “Lured,” credits his being a “horror man” to the influence of the church. At the age of eight, he played his first stage role in a church Christmas play . . . the demon who scared the daylights out of the fairy princess. And here's some other in¬ teresting notes about that new film, “Lured.” Alan Napier, British character actor in that pic¬ ture, is distantly related to the late Neville Cham¬ berlain . . . and Robert Coote, a Scotland Yard operator in that Hunt Stromberg picture, was born within a stone's throiv of Scotland Yard headquarters in London.
