(no dust jacket, as issued) [no significant wear to book, but with a paper-clip indentation at the top of the front endpaper, a short ink note at the top of the front pastedown, and a longer note along the edge of the rear pastedown (the previous owner's notation of date and place of purchase, plus a brief comment about "watching all 40 extant Charlie Chan movies consecutively")]. (B&W photographs) Well-researched chronicle of the Hollywood screen exploits of the famous Chinese detective (never played by a Chinese actor). Includes full plot synopsis and credits for all the major "series" films -- the Fox pictures with Warner Oland; the Twentieth Century-Fox films with Sidney Toler, who then continued in the role for Monogram Pictures; and the final six Monogram efforts with Roland Winters as Chan. Also includes a brief chapter discussing the "offshoots," the Mr. Moto and Mr. Wong films.
