JOHN BOLES PHOTO TO JACK PIERCE
Filmed and released before FRANKENSTEIN in 1931, RESURRECTED starred John Boles and Lupe VeleZ. Boles of course, played the role of Victor Moritz in FRANKENSTEIN.
This signed photo was given to Pierce with the note: "To Jack, Remembering the good old days to-gether. You're 100% O.K., John".
