MONSTER BASH PHAN PHOTO: A Ripley's BELIEVE IT OR NOT on dear Rondo Hatton. I was a bit confused when I saw the date (top left) of July 25, 1939. Rondo, to my knowledge, hadn't played any "Horror Parts" until the 1940s at Universal. My guess is that 1939 date is from when he was in high school...? Not sure.
