<B>Mr. Moto in Danger Island (20th Century Fox, 1939).</B></I> Insert (14" X 36"). During the 1930s, there were a number of actors who took on the roles of "oriental detectives," and Peter Lorre (a German) soon became the screen's first Japanese detective, Mr. Moto. The series was extremely popular until 1940 when it was clear the American public was becoming leery of the Japanese war machine in Asia. Japanese characters were suddenly very unpopular and 20th Century Fox dropped the series. This insert is folded and has almost no color break on the folds. There is some very minor creasing in the upper right corner. Very Fine/ Near Mint.
