"Almost a year from the time a large new production of 'Frankenstein' was a nearly $2 million flop on Broadway, the struggling little Pary Production Company on Thursday night opened its own $5,500 adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley novel. This one will not be a flop. It's a small miracle of production."

Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune

"What is so impressive about Pary Production Company's 'Frankenstein is it's blend of chill and sensitivity...If all you know about 'Frankenstein' is Boris Karloff and the movie version, you will find many surprises in this intelligent adaptation by Marjorie Bicknell.

Glenna Syse, Chicago Sun-Times
