CHARLIE CHAN'S COURAGE”"——
- KING'S THEATRE
Warner. Oland, as Charlie Chan,
the famous fictional Chinese detec- tive of the Honolulu Police force, is again seen in another mystery- thriller entitled "Charlie Chan's Courage," at the King's Theatre.
Created by the late Earl Derr Bigger, Charlie Chan has become very real character to millions of readers. He has enjoyed a vogne accond only to that of Sherlock Holmes and Philo Vance, affording
a colourful characterisation mlire ly different from the current liters- ture of detective stories. And Warner Oland is the only actor who can do justice to this much-loved detective, giving a perfect physical embodiment of the fictional char- acter.
Drue Leyton, the beautiful actress, and Donald Woods tend ex- cellent support.
