Auction History Result 6b160 CHARLIE CHAN IN SHANGHAI LC 1935 close up of Asian Warner Oland & Russell Hicks, ultra rare! Date Sold 5/1/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Charlie Chan in Shanghai, the 1935 James Tinling China Asian detective mystery opium drug smuggling crime thriller ("Based on the character 'Charlie Chan' created by Earl Derr Biggers") starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Irene Hervey, Jon Hall (billed as "Charles Locher"), Russell Hicks, and Keye Luke. 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

Important Added Info: Note that until 2018, we had only auctioned a single one-sheet from this movie (for $11,211.11 in 2001), and no other posters or lobby cards. In 2018, we were consigned two MUCH lesser condition lobby cards from this movie, and now we have been consigned a third card, which is in FAR better condition! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card had small paper loss in the top blank corners and in the center of the bottom border, where it slightly affected the writing and a tiny bit of the bottom of the image. Someone restored those three areas without backing the card. Other than those defects, the card was in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
