Harvard's scoring started in the first inning. McCaffrey, the first man at bat, was passed by White. McGrath followed with a single and went to second on Maxey's error as McCaffrey scored. After Ticknor struck out, Des Roches was walked and, when Ferrill muffed one of White's pitches, he advanced to third while McGrath crossed the plate.

As the scenes flash in twilight, accompanied by such noises as wolves howling, bats screeching, and women screaming, Lugosi, in the form of a huge bat, flits in and out of the windows of Carfax Abbey, close to which most of the action takes place. Dracula is an exciting melodrama, not as good as it ought to be but a cut above the ordinary trapdoor...
