REGENT THEATRE.

“ FRANKENSTEIN.” TO-NIGHT, MONDAY AND TUESDAY. The wall of Universal City’s famous “ chamber of horrors,” its wellguarded, secret make-up room, is now graced by the photograph of another immortal of the grease paint art— Boris Karloff. Karloff’s fiendish, scientifically - created monster of “ Frankenstein ” has been accorded the place of honour in the mysterious little sanctuary by the little band of make-up experts who have given the screen its weirdest creatures. Karloff's monster hangs side-by-side with photographs of Lon Chaney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame ” character; his “ Phantom of the Opera ” fiend, his diabolical Chinese of “ Outside the Law and his sinister cripple of “ Shadows.” Bela Lugosi as “ Dracula ” occupies a prominent position on the eerie wall, as do the photographs of Neil Hamilton in his “ The Cat Creeps ” characterisation, Carlos Villarias as the Spanish-version “Dracula,” Conrad Veidt in “The Man Who Laughs,” and Edward Robinson as the Charlie Young of “East is West.” Karloff and his closely guarded monster make-up can be seen at the Regent Theatre to-night and on Monday and Tuesday with Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan and Frederick Kerr completing the cast.
