An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (Learn More) Charlie Chan on Broadway, the 1937 Eugene Forde New York City Asian detective theater stage acting crime mystery thriller ("The Great White Way gives Chan his greatest adventure... The candid-camera murder case!"; "Based on the character 'Charlie Chan' created by Earl Derr Biggers"; "Original story by Art Arthur"; the movie starts with Chan and his son taking a cruise from Europe to New York City; a notebook is hidden in the son's luggage and it contains information about gangsters, and the person who hid it is murdered, and Chan must discover who did it after they are in New York City) starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Joan Marsh, J. Edward Bromberg, Douglas Fowley, Harold Huber, Joan Woodbury, Louise Henry, Donald Woods, Lon Chaney Jr., Harold Huber, Eddie Dunn, and Keye Luke (as Lee Chan; Luke is billed at the end, because it said "and Keye Luke" at the end of the standard credits on the posters). 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!
