PHOTOS FROM JACK'S MEMORIAL GALLERY
The Cinema Makeup School on Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles is where you will find the Jack Pierce Memorial Gallery for Makeup and Character Arts. The Gallery is housed in a wing off the second-floor lobby.
These photos were taken during my visit there in March, 2014.

DWIGHT FRYE AS FRITZ
Jack Pierce not only was famous for creating the makeup for Boris Karloff in the 1931 Universal Picture, FRANKENSTEIN, he also created many memorable character actors as well. The publicity picture above shows his makeup for Fritz, Henry Frankenstein's assistant. The photo is most likely by Jack Fruelich.

MONSTERS IN THE MAKING
This image shows Jack applying makeup to both Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in an unidentified movie magazine. The clipping is dated 1932, but Lugosi's images clearly show his makeup for Ygor, which didn't appear on screen until the release of SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, in 1939.
