"Peggy Moran assists her screen nemesis, Tom Tyler, with his make-up by holding a hand dryer over the coat of paint applied to his mummy wrappings. Miss Moran has the [femine] lead and Tyler plays a 3000-year-old mummy in Universal's horror drama, "The Mummy's Hand." "-- (1078-P. 2 accompanying press photo information)
