The Thirteenth Chair is a 1929 American Pre-Code mystery film directed by Tod Browning. The picture is based on a 1916 play of the same name by Bayard Veiller. The supporting cast features Bela Lugosi, whom Browning would direct as Dracula two years later.
Inspector Delzante (Bela Lugosi), investigates a series of murders near a British mansion in Calcutta. The murders are pinned on a young runaway named Helen O'Neill (Leila Hyams) who is taken in by a well-intentioned fake Irish medium, Madame LaGrange (Margaret Wycherly).
The Thirteenth Chair is a 1937 film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Dame May Whitty, Lewis Stone, Madge Evans, and Elissa Landi. An earlier version directed by Leonce Perret had been filmed in 1916, then remade by director Tod Browning in 1929 with Bela Lugosi in a supporting role.
Well, excuse me, but I think you've got my chair
No, that one's not taken, I don't mind
If you sit here, I'll be glad to share
Yeah, it's usually packed here on Friday nights
Oh, if you don't mind, could I talk you out of a light
Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me, what I mean is can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please
Oh, you're welcome
Well, I don't think I caught your name.
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us glad you came.
No, I don't know the name of the band, but they're good.
Aren't they, would you like to dance?
Yeah, I like this song too
It reminds me of you and me
Well, baby do you think there's a chance
That later on I could drive you home?
No, I don't mind at all
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasn't my chair after all
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
