Miller (Flourney E. Miller), Arthur Ray (in the title role as Professor Whackingham Creeps), Florence O'Brien, and Maceo Bruce Scheffield. Note that Toddy Pictures purchased the rights to many 1930s all-black movies and re-released them in the early 1940s, but this is one of the movies where Toddy was the distributor for the first release of the movie (it was made by Dixie National Productions and distributed by Toddy). Also note that Flourney Miller was a major figure in black Broadway musical history, performing and writing with his partner Aubrey Lyles. After Lyles passed away in 1933, Miller appeared in a number of all-black movies in the 1930s and 1940s. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that only 4 lobby cards were produced for this movie, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies (or re-releases of big budget movies), because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). Condition: good to very good. There are some stains around some of the edges of the cards. Note that these lobby cards have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they have never had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
