Note that Paramount was unwilling to cast a real Asian woman in the lead role, so they hired Leatrice Joy, who had been born in Louisiana, and who in no way appeared Asian! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three lobby cards from this movie, including a different example of this title card, but that example had all its borders trimmed off, while this one is complete! 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. There is slight darkening in the right blank border. There is a tiny tear in the upper left blank border that was repaired with a tiny piece of tape from the back, and there is a tiny pinhole in the left and right of the top and bottom blank borders. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
