ANNA MAY WONG | MR. WU [1927] Oversized portrait by Clarence Bull

[Los Angeles]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, [1927]. Vintage original 13 1/2 x 10 1/2″ (34 x 27 cm) double weight oversized black-and-white photo. With mimeographed text and stamp of photographer Clarence Sinclair Bull on verso. Minor blemish at extreme bottom right resulting in small stain in blank border and slight smudge in the black background, otherwise flawless. Just about fine or better.

In this silent MGM Lon Chaney vehicle, Anna May Wong had the small role of Loo Song (while all the important Asian characters were portrayed by white actors, including Chaney and Renée Adorée). Wong would have been about 22 when this film was shot. As always, she presents splendidly for the camera.
