RULE 'EM AND WEEP (1932, Masquers Club)

A good early Masquer's Club comedy starring Sam Hardy, Glen Tryon, James Gleason, Syd Saylor, Max Davidson, and directed by Harry Sweet.

Tho it doesn't matter who plays The Masque. It always gives me the creeps.

Agreed! The total statue-like whiteness reminds me of the barbershop quartet of busts from Disney's HAUNTED MANSION, which I also find off-putting. Yeeeep!

Richard Carlyle (“The Masque”) is creepy enough even without any makeup! Who needs Raymond Massey to play Boris Karloff?

Listening to Eddie Kane’s “Dutchman” dialect here, I wish he played Baron Munchausen (in films and radio) instead of Jack Pearl. Eddie at least is likable, and he’s certainly funnier.
