An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Charlie Chan at Treasure Island, the 1939 Norman Foster Asian detective mystery crime thriller ("Charlie Chan challenges the supernatural at Treasure Island"; "The strange case of murder by magic!"; "Based on the character 'Charlie Chan' created by Earl Derr Biggers"; "Original story and screen play by John Larkin") starring Sidney Toler (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Cesar Romero, Pauline Moore, Victor Sen Yung (as Jimmy Chan; billed simply as "Sen Yung"), Douglas Fowley, June Gale, Douglass Dumbrille, Sally Blane, Billie Seward, Wally Vernon, Donald McBride, and Charles Halton. 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had a tiny bit of paper trimmed from the right edge of the right blank border and a crease in the top left blank corner. Overall, the lobby card was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
