Quiz
Charles Laughton is credited at the beginning of the film along with the other actors. His name appears on the the third bus with titles, on the left under Anna May Wong and above King Hou Chang. This was Laughton's feature film debut.

Blooper
The opening credits appear in the form of advertising posters on the sides of London buses. However, the negatives have been flipped before the posters were added because on the genuine posters beneath them the words are in mirror writing.

Citazioni
Mabel Greenfield: I'm desperate! I love him - you don't and he doesn't really love you. He's too old for you.
Shosho: He isn't too old for me - - but you're too old for him.

Good silent drama

Valentine Wilmot (Jameson Thomas) owns Club Piccadilly in England. He's in love with its leading dancer Mabel (Gilda Gray). However she's not pulling in the crowds and he hires unknown Shosho (Anna May Wong) to perform. She's a huge success and romances Valentine. Mabel gets jealous and leaves Piccadilly...but still wants Wilmot but he's falling for Shosho...

This movie is a showcase for Anna May Wong. Virtually unknown today she was the first Chinese-American star (and for a long time the only one). She's just great in this--beautiful, talented and can really dance. Thomas and Gray are also good in their roles. I'm really surprised they got this out--its made quite clear that Wilmot and Shosho have sex--interracial couplings like that must have been shocking at the time. This is beautifully directed by Arnold Bennett--there are many stunning sequences and most of the story is told by images--there are very few title cards. The only complaint I have is that it moves a little slow by today's standards. Still it's well worth seeing. I give it an 8.
