Charlie Chan "Chinese Cat" Original Vintage movie poster Lobby Card  1944

Starring Sidney Toler as Charlie Chan, Mantan Moreland

Before there was Sherlock Holmes, before James Bond there was Honolulu Detective Charlie Chan. Beginning in 1931 with the first Chan film, “Charlie Chan Carries On”. The first Charlie Chan was actor Warner Oland, who made 15 films before his untimely death in 1938. Oland was replaced with Sidney Toler who made 22 Chan films before his death in 1947. Roland Winters would take over for Toler and go on to make six more Chan films for Monogram Studios.

Beautiful Vintage lobby card movie poster with great graphics and vintage colors.   Super nice close-up image

We just acquired a Large Charlie Chan collection including about Eight complete sets.  Each card has on the back two pieces of paper (easily removed as it has very light adhesive) identifying the specific lobby card and the Owner’s name and city.  I have blocked out the names and city on the digital image only for privacy reasons.   It’s pretty nice that they catalogued and identified each card. 

* Be sure to check out all our Charlie Chan lobby cards  (about 100)  listed here in our eBay store. Including some very desirable and most Rare title like “The Wax Museum”. 

Condition:  Lobby Card is overall in Very Good-Excellent with expected minor border wear.  Colors are bright and beautiful.   

NOTE:  Each card is in a Protective hard plastic top loader, so some card images looks washed because they are behind plastic. They are NOT Faded or washed out, original cards are Bright Colors!
