Mar. i6, 1935 C arl L aemmle Anniversary Jubilee ii It Happened in Universal City • No, kind reader, this is not an Egyptian mummy or a stylized statue. It is Elsa Lanchester in the role of the monster’s mate in “ The Bride of F rankenstein.” SALLY E1LERS • Beautiful Sally Eilcrs, who will always be remembered for “ Bad Girl” and “ Dance Team,” is now under contract to Universal. She will star in the role of ‘‘Women Are Like That” which Kurt Neumann will direct and possibly in ‘‘Alias Mary Dow” which was written by Wm. A. Johnston, formerly editor of the Motion Picture News. REMARKABLE WOMAN ANY good looking woman who permits others to see her in anything but a beautiful pose or character, is remarkable. Elsa Lanchester is doubly remarkable. She is permitting herself to become a female monster in "The Bride of Frankenstein" and here are two pictures to show you how she looks in the picture, which is just being completed at Universal City. Elsa Lanchester as the beautiful Anne of Clives showed Henry the Eighth how unprepossessing a beautiful woman could be when she chooses. But this is not a patch to what she does in "The Bride of Frankenstein." Get ready for the shock of your life. These pictures are mild. + + + She Started Her Career At Universal City • More and more is Esther Ralston proving the splendid actress and beautiful woman that many critics in this business promised she would become. When Esther Ralston started on her career at Universal City, it was as a parachute jumper and a double for serial actresses and leading ladies who did not dare do their own stuff. Universal thought of her in no other way until she was cast in “By Candlelight.” Since then, she has been in high demand at Universal City. She played in “Strange Wives” and is now appearing in a fine role in “Mr. Dynamite.” ESTHER RALSTON • And this is another picture of this remarkable woman, Elsa Lanchester. HENRY ARMETTA • Hollywood has re-named Henry Armetta. He is universally spoken of now as “the picture stealer.” There is a manifest danger in a reputation like this, but Henry Armetta’ s smile in this picture does not indicate any fear of danger. Laughter is his middle name and every audience laughs the minute Henry Armetta appears on the screen. His latest for Universal is “Princess O’Hara,” in which he works against such famous comedians as Leon Errol, Vince Barnett and Tom Dugan.
