"Famous stage play DRACULA to be at Nile Theater Monday night"
The Bakersfield Californian, July 15, 1929
There is a superstition prevalent that actors who have played in "DRACULA," the horror thriller coming to the Nile theater Monday, have been very successfully professionally, but unlucky In private affairs.
In the New York company which is seen here, many unnatural occurrences are reported to have happened prior to the New York opening. In New Haven. Conn., the stage manager, a man noted for his coolness under fire, became a temporary victim of asphasila. The leading woman lost her voice for no accountable reason. In Asbury Park, N. J., the photographer who was to take publicity scenes, fell into the orchestra pit. The focusing screen of his camera was smashed without apparently being touched by human hands. Light signals from the stage manager to the electrician went "dead" for no seeming reason.
As yet, nothing of this nature has happened to the company since it came to California.
