Detective Charlie Chan

Appears In Comic Strip

Drawn By Boyhood Fan

Fart Derr Biggers died in 1933, but popular editions on his six Charlie Chan books still rank among the best-sellers. Translated inter 11 foreign languages, they are popular with detective fans all over the world. Film fans likewise hava thrilled to the adventures of Charlle on the screen as portrayed by Warner Oland, Swedish-Ameri can actor whe died on Aurust 7.

THAT CERTAIN AGE

Now the canny and philosophical little Chinese detective has an peared before the public in a new gulse. A comic strip, in which the ingredient of mystery is well mixed, has made its bow to newspaper readers in America, and very soon the strip will be a regular feature in hundreds of journals throughout the world

Charlie's adventures are being drawn. and written by Alfered Andriola, 28-year-old former stu- dent of the Columbia School of Journalism. Andriola first read the Biggers books in his teenɛ; his Charlie Chan, who fathoms crimes in his usual shrewd, philosophieni fashion, is a dead ringer for the kate Warner Oland, but the artist has added romance between Gina Lane, Chan's pretty secretary, and Kirk Barrow, vapid, handsome as- sistant to the All-Wise One.

Earl. Derr Biggers' big idea came to him one day in the New York Public Library. The young novelist was reading the "Honolulu Star- Bulletin" and noticed a smail news Durbin picture is a milestone in item concerning a clever Chinese the history of the screen.
