MYSTERIOUS DR FU MANCHU MYSTERIOUS DR FU MANCHU glass slide OR search current auctions Auction History Result 8r032 MYSTERIOUS DR FU MANCHU glass slide 1929 Warner Oland, young Jean Arthur, Hamilton, rare! Date Sold 8/16/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (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!

There is a most unusual story behind this glass slide, and one other, from Parlor Bedroom and Bath, both of which we are currently auctioning in separate auctions. They were found together in a really cool custom made wooden holder that was designed to hold two glass slides at one time, and it has a sliding part that allows you to center either one of the slides. We are auctioning the holder in a third separate auction (we are doing this, rather than auctioning all three items together, because there may be some people who are solely interested in one of the two glass slides, but if anyone would like to keep this really cool display together, they can simply buy all three separate items). Or, they could simply buy the wooden holder and then put ANY two glass slides in it, of their choosing! We have never seen a wooden holder like this before. Also note that 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 made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but it does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: very good. The bottom blank area once had play dates written in it and there are faint remnants of that. Otherwise, the slide is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
