Rare and early ALS signed “Boris,” two pages, 5.5 x 8.5, Hotel Knickerbocker, San Diego letterhead, no date. Letter to “Young Virginia.” In full: “They haven’t killed me yet so everything is all right so far. The show went over splendidly here, good business & excellent notices. John is driving down to Ontario Tuesday evening to bring me home & catch the show ahead of Long Beach. It’s only about thirty miles from L. A. & I think it would be wonderful if you drove over with him. What do you think? I am droppig him a line with this & he will call you Tuesday at the office to see if you can come. Try to make it dear if you possibly can. Miss you like thunder so come along & lunch me up before the big opening in San Francisco. All the best dear girl & take care of yourself.” In fine condition. Karloff is most likely referring to the play, The Criminal Code, by San Francsco playwright Martin Flavin. Karloff appeared in the role of Ned Galloway and gave such a strong perfomance in the stage play, that he reprised his role in the 1931 Columbia film. Just a few months later, he would be cast in his famous role in Frankenstein.
