Date Sold 9/15/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1930 (from the first release of this movie in France) Vintage Theatrical French Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11 3/4" x 18" [30 x 46 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!

In the 1920s and 1930s, there were French lobby cards for most movies, and they almost always measured larger than U.S. lobby cards (often around 12" x 15"), but this is one of the largest we have ever seen. Virtually no pre-World War II French lobby cards survive, likely because of paper shortages during the war. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
