ERNEST THESIGER
(Dr. Pretorious), Clive (Henry
Frankenstein), Karloff (the
Monster), and Lanchester
(the Monster's Mate) take a
break for tea (above). Though
Lanchester is clearly capable of
sipping tea here, she reportedly
needed to be fed by her dresser
because of her bandaged
hands. Left: Whale gives Karloff
a touch-up as Pierce (center)
looks on. In the film, Karloff’s
Monster speaks for the first
time, whereas his bride can
manage only a hiss, which was
reportedly inspired by the
sounds the actress had heard
swans making in London’s
