"The Mummy took New York by Storm."
"Bob Sisk and Terry Turner of RKO, realizing the big box-office possibilities of the picture, gave it a very flashy front. The display reached from the side-walk to the very top of the Mayfair Theatre building.
"The giant banner and the solid wall display built over the top of the marquee were carried out in weird colors with yellows, greens and purples predominating.
"Two massive heads of Karloff were set in front of the wall display. The eyes were cut out and pasted over with glazed cloth. Dimmer light attachments were hooked up to these eyes and flashed them up and down with stunning effect. Because of the nature of the Karloff make-up in this picture, theeye display held everyone's attention."
