An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Scarlet Clue, the 1945 Phil Rosen Charlie Chan Asian detective mystery crime thriller ("Suggested by Earl Derr Biggers' character") starring Sidney Toler (as Charlie Chan), Mantan Moreland, Ben Carter, Benson Fong, Virginia Brissac, Robert Homans, and Emmett Vogan. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: There is a 1" tear in the left of the bottom border (it is under the "ARL" of "CHARLIE"), and extends into the brown background area. Other than this single minor defect, the card is in really wonderful condition! Note that this card has never been restored in any way and that there is not the slightest bit of tape on the front or back of the card. Condition: fine. Learn More about condition grades
