Nifty 8x10-inch black and white restrike publicity portrait for The Mummy's Tomb (1942), boldly signed in violet felt-tip pen in the 1980s. In good condition. Before retiring to raise a family in 1949, gorgeous B-movie actress Elyse Knox was memorable as Mary Cason in the Roy Rogers western Sheriff of Tombstone (1941), Anne Howe in the Joe Palooka film series of the 1940s and nurse Peggy Osborne in the Abbott and Costello comedy Hit the Ice (1943).  She is remembered by horror, sci-fi and fantasy buffs for her portrayal of Isobel Evans in The Mummy's Tomb (1942), cast opposite Lon Chaney, Jr. as Kharis.
