From the Paper:

""The Mummy" (1932) marked the directorial debut of Karl Freund who was a well-known cinematographer of the silent era. He had worked on some prominent German movies including such classics as "The Last Laugh" (1924), "Metropolis" (1927), and "Variety" (1925). In the US, he worked as cinematographer for movies that include "Camille" (1936), "Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1932), and Tod Browning's "Dracula" (1931). "The Mummy" was his most successful film as a director though he later went on to direct seven other films in the United States."
