2. Lets just say the same thing happened to me tonight....
So I had to post on it. I'm not doing so much political posting these days, so you have to let people know you're alive and ok, if you know what I mean. ;-)
However, I must disagree with you about knowing English. He had lived in the US for a little over 10 years by the time he made Dracula. He had even placed Dracula on broadway for 33 weeks in the late 20's.
What I find amazing though is he organized an Actor's union in post WWI Austro-Hungary and was associated with the Communist party there. Because of this, he was placed on an list of people to be arrested which in turn caused him to immigrate to Vienna then Germany then to the US.
The sources I've read said he had been doing Dracula on stage in the EU and then was asked to do it in the US. I'm not saying you're wrong--in fact, I'm probably wrong. I just had been extra-impressed with the idea of Bela doing a role phonetically (sp?), it just sounds like something he could have done.
White on white translucent black capes Back on the rack Bela Lugosi's dead The bats have left the bell tower The victims have been bled Red velvet lines the black box Bela Lugosi's dead Undead undead undead The virginal brides file past his tomb Strewn with time's dead flowers Bereft in deathly bloom Alone in a darkened room The count Bela Logosi's dead Undead undead undead
