Charlie Chan Carries On: The Screenplay for the Lost Charlie Chan Movie

"Charlie Chan Carries On" -- the 1931 Fox motion picture starring Warner Oland as Chan -- is now considered a "lost" film (the original film materials were destroyed in a vault fire. ) Unless a copy surfaces in some remote corner of the world, as happened with "Charlie Chan in Paris, " this original screenplay is the closest Chan fans will come to seeing the original film. (There is also a Portuguese-language version called "Eran Trece" [There Were Thirteen] with a different cast. The 1940 film, "Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise, " starring Sidney Toler, Oland's successor in the role of Charlie Chan, was also based on the same novel, but with a different script. )
