Biography

This tall, sharp-tongued radio performer ("My Friend Irma" and "Burns and Allen") entered films in 1938. A smoothly versatile character actor with angular features, a distinctive, clipped diction and facility at foreign accents, Conried was adept at comedy and also often portrayed film Nazis. Later he was a frequent panelist on TV quiz shows of the 1950s and is probably best remembered for the outlandish title role of the Dr. Seuss classic "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T" (1953) and as the acerbic Uncle Tonoose on TV's "Make Room for Daddy" (1958-64).

The Twonky - Pressbook
Here is the campaign book (pressbook) for Arch Oboler's The Twonky (1953). Pressbooks were sent to exhibitors and theater owners to aid them in publicizing the film's run in their theater.
The Monster that Challenged the World - Lobby Cards
Here are some Lobby Cards from The Monster that Challenged the World (1957). Lobby Cards were 11" x 14" posters that came in sets of 8. As the name implies, they were most often displayed in movie theater lobbies, to advertise current or coming attractions.
