INSIDE THE PHANTOM'S LAIR!

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Universal's immortal classic, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Adapted by famous French author, Gaston Leroux, the picture was a smash hit, thanks to the marvelous acting and makeup genius, Lon Chaney, who frightened the pants off audiences in the scene where he was unmasked by his unrequited love, Christine (Mary Philbin).

Another marvel that was presented onscreen was a faithful recreation of the Paris Opera House, built on the grounds of Universal City.

Presented here are pages from the film's program that describe the making of the set, as well as a cut-away view of the building showing the places where the Phantom prowled.

FRANKENSTEIN AUF DEUTSCH

After being filmed and played in the U.S., Dr. Frankenstein and his creation travelled back to the old country nearly thirty years later.

These programs accompanied the screening of Universal's re-release of FRANKENSTEIN in German theaters. The Neues Film-Programm #410 is from 1957, the Illustrierte Film-Buhne #3656 is from the 1950s and another Neues Film-Programm is from the 1960s. The page sizes range from 6.25" X 9.5" to 7.25" X 10.5".
