Anna May Wong left Hollywood in 1928 in search of better (and very specifically, less racially-stereotyped) roles, and she made a few notable films there. But she was back in Hollywood to make this film, a Fu Manchu mystery, in which she again played a stereotypical Asian femme fatale. However, Paramount certainly did create some impressive imagery of her, like in this portrait.
