...kind of grotesque pantomime of Beauty and the Beast this afternoon, the very big and fast Cornell football team will press the varsity lacrosse team, adroit but still unvictorious after two games and a spring trip; the Big Red gridders are reportedly not of the best with a stick, but the Crimson is not too big in the biceps and calves...

In The Bride of the Monster, one of Bela Lugosi's last movies, the virile fiend of Dracula has become a rather prosaic old alchemist. It is as if Lugosi, like Varnoff, had at last capitulated to the modern emphasis on drawing the blood from healthy vampires...
