The Mummy's Ghost (Universal, 1944). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This was the 3rd film in the Mummy series from Universal Studios. After the success of the original The Mummy in 1932, and highly profitable runs of other sequels to horror features, Universal embarked on a new Mummy series in 1940 with Tom Tyler taking over the role Boris Karloff made famous. In 1942, Tyler was out as Universal wanted to promote their new horror star, Lon Chaney Jr., and cast him as the Mummy Kharis in the final three films. In this sequel, the Mummy is in Massachusetts being revived through the use of Tanna leaves. John Carradine, as the evil Yousef Bey, is sent on a mission to retrieve Kharis and the Princess Ananka and return them to Egypt. Bey soon discovers that Ananka, whose mummified body is on display in a museum, has been reincarnated and he now wants to kidnap the reincarnated princess for his own desires. This lobby card features a wonderful image of Chaney as the Mummy in the border art.
Lon Chaney Jr. reprised his role as Kharis, the Mummy, in this thrilling third installment of the Mummy series. In this sequel, Kharis travels to America where he finds the reincarnation of his lost love, Amina Mansouri (Ramsay Ames). Amina too sips the strange brew of the tanna leaves and soon begins to experiences strange and unsettling trances, as well as grey streaks in her hair, as she transforms into the ancient Princess Ananka. This great card show Chaney leaning over Ames as John Carradine looks on. One of the Best cards of the set!
Lon Chaney Jr. takes on the mantle of the moldy bandages in this, the second of his three appearances as Kharis, the living Mummy. These superb lobby cards give a very good look at the Mummy make-up, as well as having great images of ravishing Ramsay Ames, Lon Chaney, and the brooding John Carradine.
