I’m kind of curious about the photo on the wall in the background.
I did a little quick research and came up blank. The main makeup artist is Jack Pierce who was famous for doing most of the Universal monsters. I don’t know though that that is his room they are working in. It could be a relative of somebody but more likely looks like a character photo from a movie.
Next question. s/
Looks like George Bernard Shaw to me. The playwright-turned-philosopher-turned progressive eugenist would be completely comfortable watching over Frankensteinian procedures.
No way Jose. An English bon vivant like George Bernard Shaw would never have been caught dead dressed like that. It must be the makeup artist’s Civil War veteran grandpappy.
