Description

Dracula (Universal, 1931). Fine-. Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Considered to be one of the best scene cards in the set of this iconic horror thriller, Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula is about to put the bite into pretty young Francis Dade's (Lucy) neck! When Lon Chaney suddenly died prior to the start of filming Dracula, Carl Laemmle had to find a replacement for the famous star. Many actors were considered, but the part finally went to Bela Lugosi, a Hungarian actor who had been portraying Bram Stoker's undead count on the stage. Lugosi made the role his own and he is still considered the screen's greatest King of the Undead! This card had a very strong diagonal crease vertically through the right side of the card. It had significant fading to the color all of which have been restored with professional restoration. The corners are slightly rounded and there is a small split in the right border.
