Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, to Donnie Dunagan, who played Peter, the son of Wolf and Elsa von Frankenstein in Son of Frankenstein, “For Donnie, with love from the Giant! Boris Karloff.” Accompanied by an unsigned 9.75 x 7.25 Universal Pictures photo from the climax of the film, with Karloff as the Monster holding little Dunagan under his arm. On Friday the 13th of January, 1939, Universal’s Son of Frankenstein premiered in Hollywood, starring Basil Rathbone (as Wolf von Frankenstein), Boris Karloff (as the legendary Monster), Bela Lugosi (as broken-necked Ygor), Lionel Atwill (as one-armed Inspector Krogh), Josephine Hutchinson (as Wolf's elegant wife Elsa) and four-year old Donnie Dunagan (as Peter, son of Wolf and Elsa). The climax found the Monster about to toss Peter into a pool of 800-degree sulfur (but unable to bring himself to do so). In fine condition, with tack-holes to each corner tip, as well as a few small creases to corners. Scarce self-reference of Karloff’s most famous role directly to one of his film’s co-stars!
