NOTE: We just acquired a group of six stunning original 1951 theatrical reissue photographs for Universal’s Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff as the Monster, issued for the Realart Pictures re-release and distributed to theaters through National Screen Service Corporation. See the others we have listed HERE and in the in the Frankenstein Collection HERE Each photograph measures approximately 8 × 10 inches and carries the uniform Realart/National Screen Service identification along the lower border: “FRANKENSTEIN” starring Boris Karloff as The Monster. A Realart re-release., together with the reissue code R51/683. The R51 designation identifies the photographs with the 1951 theatrical re-release campaign. At lower left each also carries the National Screen Service theatrical-use notice: “Property of National Screen Service Corp. Licensed for display only in connection with the exhibition of this picture at your theatre. Must be returned immediately thereafter.” These were therefore genuine theater-display photographs supplied for use in cinemas exhibiting the 1951 reissue, rather than later collector reproductions. Original 1931 Universal Imagery Although printed for the 1951 Realart campaign, the photographs reproduce imagery originating with Universal’s original 1931 production and publicity still series. The original Universal production number for Frankenstein was 310, and the individual negative numbers remain visible within the images confirming the original 1931 Negatives were used for this 1951 Theatrical re-release photo promotion set. .
