Lon Chaney All Access Universal Pass

Posted on 12 Feb 2012 by Bradford Tatum

From the personal collection of Maddy Ulm, this is the very pass used by her companion Mutter and she during their early tenure at the studio. Showing this pass allowed the bearer access to any corner of the lot. Good for a rub-down at the exclusive Emperor's Club or a full meal at the commissary, such passes are becoming increasingly rare pieces of Hollywood ephemera. Though technically no longer under contract to Universal at the time, the efficacy of this small card is testament to Chaney’s continued stature at a studio many believed he single handedly kept solvent.
