Among Miss Ulm's myriad mementos, none is more telling as to the warm humor of her friend "Billy Pratt" than this publicity still from the late thirties. Forced to pose with any number of thin nourishments during his tenure as the creature, this mocking pose with cup and bit toast conveys the comical tedium of the studios continued efforts to portray Mr Karloff as the classic English gent.
Misidentified as a behind the scenes shot from The Bride, Miss Ulm informed me that this pictures was actually taken in the Dodger's locker room during the 1938 World Series. "Frankenstein" threw the first pitch that year.
