An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Chinese Bungalow, the 1930 Arthur Barnes & J.B. Williams English Asian interracial romantic melodrama ("From the play by Marion Ormond and James Corbett") starring Matheson Lang ("His First All Talking picture"), Jill Esmond Moore, Anna Neagle, Ballard Berkeley, and Derek Williams. Note that star Matheson Lang played "Yuan Sing", a "wealthy Chinese Mandarin of Malaya" in yellowface makeup, and he discovers that his European wife has taken a European lover. Note that, as was common in early Hollywood, non-Asian actors were hired to play Asians, and they did this through the use of "yellowface" makeup (similar to "blackface" makeup that had been used for so long). Often, this was in movies that featured "interracial romances" between Asians and westerners, and those who participated in such romances were shunned and often they led to murders or suicides. Thankfully, these sorts of movies and the practice of actors performing in "yellowface" has almost completely been abandoned! This is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
