An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Shanghai Cobra, the 1945 Phil Karlson Charlie Chan Asian China detective mystery crime thriller ("Charlie Chan in 'The Shanghai Cobra'"; "Original Story by George Callahan") starring Sidney Toler (as Charlie Chan), Mantan Moreland, Benson Fong (as Tommy, Number Three Son), James Cardwell, and Joan Barclay (in her last credited role). 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!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. Condition: very good. There is a diagonal crease at upper left, extending into the edge of the top credits. There are two tiny tears, a crease, and tiny paper loss in the right of the top blank border, and a few faint smudges around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. There is a piece of tape on the back of the right border, but it was not put there for any restoration purpose. Learn More about condition grades
