An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 6" x 8 1/2" [15 x 22 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More)

The Invisible Ray, the 1936 Lambert Hillyer Universal science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Beware the luminous man!"; "Delving into strange, new fields of mystery!"; "'The Invisible Man' was an eye opener. The fans are still talking about it... but the 'Invisible Man' was a piker compared to the astounding Luminous Man"; "Not a horror picture! But a revelation in thrills and terrific suspense"; a totally bizarre movie about a scientist who goes to Africa with an expedition and finds a meteorite that emits Radium X rays, which he touches, and he absorbs a near-fatal dose, which means that he then kills anyone he touches; another scientist discovers a somewhat cure, which requires he take daily injections of a powerful drug, which slowly turns him mad, and meanwhile, the second scientist starts taking credit for the discovery, which, in controlled doses, can heal blind people!) starring Boris Karloff ("as the luminous man"), Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake, Frank Lawton, Walter Kingsford, Beulah Bondi, Violet Kemble Cooper, Nydia Westman, and Etta McDaniel (Hattie McDaniel's sister!)

Artist: B.R.C.
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this herald, and therefore, it (with The Raven) are surely two of the most rare of the 1930s Universal horror heralds, because we have auctioned all the others at least two times each! We are currently also auctioning an example of the herald from The Raven, which we have also never auctioned before!

Note that this herald was printed in the U.S., but was sent to India, where it was used in an Indian cinema, and they overprinted the blank back cover party in English, but mostly in an Indian language (see our image).

Condition: good. The herald was folded twice horizontally. It has tears and small paper loss in two borders, and it has a 2" tear in the right of the back cover (see our images).
