Girls, Join Us Tomorrow Night, As "Svengoolie" Offrs A Real Gem--Claude Rains' 1933 "The Invisible Man," Which Turns 90 This Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                        When Betsy Palmer played Mrs. Voorhees in "Friday The 13th," she acted with her teeth.  Claude Rains, in "The Invisible Man" ( only his second film) went her one better--he acted entirely with his voice.



                                            The ghoulish humor, tragedy, revenge and romance in this story are all played out superbly.  It was at the height of Universal's monster phase, so the production values were of the highest quality--for Universal, that is.



                                             It is always a treat to see this now rarely shown film, so all of us here will be looking forward to it!



                                             However, I cannot reveal what "Sventoonie" is doing, because all I get are references to a robot and watching Frank Sinatra in "The Man With The Golden Arm," which is not a horror movie.  It is anybody's guess what Sventoonie is serving up, but I am sure it will be fun.  And in our house, little Pippin cannot wait to see Blob E. Blob.



                                               So, girls, join us tomorrow evening at 8PM.  Remember, "Svengoolie" runs half an hour longer, so "Sventoonie" does not start till 10:30 PM!  A full evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                               Don't miss this Universal gem.  Pertaining to the title character's experiment--Don't try this at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read a biography of Gloria Stuart a few years ago.
What a life!!
The young people who only know her from Titanic have no idea!!!!

Victoria,
I was probably one of the few people who
knew who she was, when "Titanic" came out.
I feel she should have gotten the Oscar as
kind of a lifetime achievement. It has been
done before.
