The monster's jailer here,
who gives EE Clive some lip,
:30:16
is Charlie Murphy, curator
of the Universal zoo in the early '30s
:30:19
and a frequent bit player in action
pictures for Universal and Republic.
:30:25
Thanks to Breen, much
of the monster's rampage was cut -
:30:28
actually improving the picture.
:30:30
The fatter film contained
a vignette in the morgue,
:30:33
followed by an inquest sequence
where Minnie and others
:30:36
admit not actually witnessing
any murders.
:30:38
The pompous burgomaster
is insisting there is no monster
:30:42
when the creature plucks him through
a window and cuffs him about the head.
:30:47
Just as Minnie was spared
at the ruined mill,
:30:49
the burgomaster is a fool figure,
the voice of the audience -
:30:52
he can be humbled,
but he must not be killed.
:30:56
Fleeing in the crowd,
we then met Auntie and Uncle Glutz,
:30:59
played by Tempe Pigott
and Gunnis Davis,
:31:01
and their nephew, played by Dwight Frye
in his amalgamated state.
:31:05
At their house, nephew killed
his uncle and stole his hoard,
:31:08
blaming it on the monster.
:31:10
The scene closed as nephew pondered
the convenience of a scapegoat
:31:13
and mused that the monster
might soon visit auntie.
:31:33
The communion girl who speaks
is Helen Parrish,
:31:36
sister of film director Robert Parrish.
:31:39
Helen grew up to become a leading lady
in Three Smart Girls Grow Up
:31:42
and was Boris Karloff's ingénue
in You'll Find Out in 1940.
:31:46
A shot of Frieda's mother
carrying the body was cut by the censor.
:31:49
Gossiping with Una O'Connor
is David Lewis's mother, Fanny Levy,
:31:53
earning her seven and a half dollars
a day extra-player's pay.
:31:56
Poor old Newman has been hacked
to death by the monster.
:31:59
That's Walter Brennan
handling the murder weapon.
