Did John caradine have an uncredited bit part in 'Bride of Frankenstein'?

Yes. He was a woodsman who entered the cabin of the blind hermit who was playing music for the Monster.

Uncredited, but not a "bit part".  He had lines!

What famous English playwright died after going on a bender with friends the night before?
Kit Marlowe?

I was thinking of Shakespeare, but if Marlowe got stabbed after binge drinking he could count too.

I only know Christopher Marlowe was murdered under mysterious circumstances.  Why ask if you are unsure?  Shakespeare wasn't stabbed, but may have been on a bender.

I'm sure of what I asked but gave the benefit of the doubt to your answer, so, no, Christopher Marlowe is wrong. Shakespeare died the morning after a night of hard drinking, a detail about which English teachers seem oddly silent.

I thought Marlowe was stabbed by a rival following a night of drinking (although I must confess it isn't something I have really looked in to, just a vague possible memory).

There are also those enticing rumors that Marlow was a secret agent whose death was a fake-out, and he lived on under an assumed identity.

In 1868, Abraham Lincoln's son Tad fell onto the train tracks as a locomotive was entering the station.  A fast-thinking bystander pulled the boy out of the path of the train, saving his life.  Who was that person?

EDWIN BOOTH  ...and it was Robert Todd Lincoln and would have occurred before the assassination.

You're right that it was Robert (I keep switching the names for some reason).  I thought it was in the summer of 1865, after President Lincoln was murdered, but turns out it was early in the year, so you just embarrassed me! LOL
