Charlie Chan Carries On Original Movie Herald from the 1931 Movie Warner Oland

Description

Charlie Chan Carries On, the 1931 Hamilton MacFadden mystery crime thriller ("Scotland Yard is baffled but Charlie Chan Carries On"; based on the novel by Earl Derr Biggers) starring Warner Oland (as Charlie Chan), John Garrick, Marguerite Churchill, Warren Hymer, Marjorie White, William Holden (no, not THAT William Holden, but another actor of the same name who made 20 movies between 1920 and 1931, and he died the next year, which was 7 years before the more famous William Holden made his first movie!), and George Brent. 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 this movie, "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the very 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ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
