Karloff in The Mummy (1887-1969) English-born actor who rose to fame in Frankenstein (Universal, 1931). Karloff's unforgettable, nuanced performance and the success of the film secured his position in Universal Studios' horror pictures of the 1930s, most notably The Mummy, The Mask of Fu Manchu, The Bride of Frankenstein and The Black Cat. Karloff continued to act well into his seventies, often returning to the stage where he was not so typecast (earning a Tony nomination for his role in "The Lark").

A unique offering! Here we present a strip of cloth cut from a spool of wrappings used on The Mummy and a letter from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles confirming the prop's provenance Handsomely framed and matted with a Signed Photo ("Boris Karloff") black and white, 4¼ x 6¼", n.p., n.d.; an autograph note signed "Zita Johann", a 6¼ x 9½" color reproduction of the original lobby poster for The Mummy and a black and white still from the same movie. We are not able to verify the Karloff signature's authenticity, but of course, the draw in this lot is the Mummy's wrappings. While not examined out of frame, all of the items appear to be very fine.

A true showpiece for fans of The Mummy and Boris Karloff. The provenance of the cloth, the quality of the signed photograph and Zita Johann's ("Helen Grosvenor/The Princess") note make for a rare piece of movie history.

Cinderella Script - Screenwriter's Copy. Bound script for Cinderella, dated January 5, 1945, that was the personal property of Ted Sears, a screenwriter for the 1950 movie. Leather bound, with marbled inside covers. Sears made numerous notations in red pencil, including an entire page opposite the first typed page. He explains, "This was written to cover as much of the original 'Cinderella,' and also suggest animal characters who might aid the girl - (and reduce animation of humans). While musical numbers are mentioned, this was not laid out to a musical comedy pattern." Maurice Rapf is listed with Sears, who wrote in blue pencil, "Please return this copy to Ted or Script Library." Very fine. In addition to "Cindarella," Sears' screen credits included screenwriter for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937), writer for "Pinocchio" (1940) and Three Caballeros (1945).
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
