Description: "The Chinese Cat", 1944Original Vintage movie theater poster Lobby Title Card (11x14") Starring Roland Winters as Charlie Chan, Mantan Moreland Considered by many to be the Best in the Chan series 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. NOTE: * This is a particularly desirable Chan title for Collectors with a one sheet selling for $1600 in 2008 and lobby card sets selling at auction for over $1000. The artwork and graphics on this Title Card is extraordinary. * See enlargeable images above. Note: We have the Beautiful Complete lobby card set of eight lobby cards, each one listed separately in our eBay store. It can take several years to put together one of the 70-80 year old lobby card sets. 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 more Rare title like “The Wax Museum”. Condition: Lobby Cards are overall in Very Good-Excellent with expected border wear, minor border tears. Colors are bright and beautiful. NOTE: Each card is in a Protective hard plastic top loader, so group image looks washed because they are each behind plastic. They are NOT Faded or washed out, original cards are Bright Colors! I took a few photos of individual cards so you can see the bright colors and how they actually look in person out fo the plastic holder. * See enlargable images above.
