Yes...I too had the colorized VHS from Republic\ Hal Roach.

The print was sharp but there were some cuts most notably the scene where Beaumont's butler tries
to warn him about Lugosi. There was a fade out at that point and I had never seen the film "complete"
until I purchased the Roan version.

If there is a better version than the Roan, I haven't seen it yet. Gary Don Rhodes book is still the best
reference book on this film:
