Date Sold 1/5/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical LAMINATED Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) The Scarlet Clue, the 1945 Phil Rosen Charlie Chan Asian detective mystery crime thriller ("Suggested by Earl Derr Biggers' character") starring Sidney Toler (as Charlie Chan), Mantan Moreland, Ben Carter, Benson Fong, Virginia Brissac, Robert Homans, and Emmett Vogan. 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2013! Note also that this daybill has been LAMINATED! It is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process. However, I have seen many posters that have been laminated for over 20 years, and the lamination does not hurt the poster in any way, plus it seems to completely protect it, while allowing it to be easily displayed with no fear of damage. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS DAYBILL UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED POSTER! Condition: good. The daybill was laminated (see above). It has slightly darkened along the lower horizontal fold and it has some pencil writing at lower right in the blank border. It could be displayed, but PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS DAYBILL UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED POSTER! Learn More about condition grades
