Original Vintage Theatrical Special Promotional English Brochure (measures 9 1/2" x 12"; 4 pages) (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. Condition: very good. two tears in the upper right edges in both pages (repaired with clear tape from the inside) as well as a few tiny tears around the edges of the brochure; smudges, minor creases, and scuffs throughout the brochure (more so around the edges) Learn More about condition grades
