An Original Vintage Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu, the 1929 Rowland V. Lee China crime thriller ("Why did the sign of the dragon throw terror into their hearts?"; "Thrills - Mystery - Drama - Love"; "From the story by Sax Rohmer") starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Doctor Fu Manchu), Jean Arthur, Neil Hamilton, O.P. Heggie, William Austin, and Tully Marshall. Note that Jean Arthur seemed like a beautiful young starlet at this time, but actually, she was 29 years old and had been making movies for six years. But when audiences heard her very distinctive voice, she quickly became a star, and she was third billed in this movie! Also note that this was the first movie featuring Dr. Fu Manchu, created by Sax Rohmer, and played by Warner Oland, who would go on to have a successful career playing a very different Asian, Charlie Chan. The following year, Oland reprised his role in a sequel, "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu". The following year brought "Daughter of the Dragon", with Anna May Wong playing Oland's daughter. That same year, Warner Oland made his first Charlie Chan movie, and without him, the series seemed over, but in 1932, Boris Karloff starred in "The Mask of Fu Manchu", and there have been a number of other Fu Manchu movies over the years since!
