Anna May Wong plays Kim Ling, a dutiful daughter determined to reclaim the good name of her father, a Chinese general. To prove his innocence, she travels to the jungle work farm of Gregory Prin (J. Carrol Naish), who has the evidence she needs. With the help of secret agent Anthony Quinn, she clears her father and brings Prin down.
Anna May Wong and J. Carroll Naish, so memorably teamed in Paramount's Dangerous to Know, are costarred once more in Island of Lost Men. Naish plays ruthless jungle plantation owner Gregory Prin, who runs his domain like a dictatorship and treats his workers little better than slaves. Into Prin's world comes Kim Ling (Wong), daughter of a disgraced Chinese general. Kim Ling hopes to clear her father's name by bringing his primary accuser, Prin, to justice. The native-uprising finale is rendered in gloriously gruesome detail. A remake of the 1931 Charles Laughton-Carole Lombard starrer White Woman, Island of Lost Men also offers early but well-rounded performances by Anthony Quinn (as a Chinese patriot!) and Broderick Crawford.
FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN STAR!
Written by PHILIP LEIBFRIED
Her complexion was described as "a rose blushing through old ivory;" she was beautiful, tall (5'7"), slender, and Chinese-American. The last fact kept her from attaining the highest echelon among Hollywood's pantheon of stars, but it did not affect her popularity, nor keep her from becoming a household name. She was Anna May Wong, nee Wong Liu Tsong, a name which translates to "Frosted Yellow Willows," and she was born, appropriately enough, on Flower Street in Los Angeles' Chinatown on 3 January 1905, above her father's laundry. Anna May Wong's contribution to show business is a unique one; she was the first Asian female to become a star, achieving that stardom at a time when bias against her race was crushing. With determination and talent allied to her exotic beauty, she remained the only Asian female star throughout her forty-year career, never fully overcoming all prejudices in maintaining that position. Perhaps the rediscovery of her art will elevate her star to the pantheon of great performers and serve as a guiding light to Asian performers who still struggle to find their rightful place. Anna May Wong's life and career is something that is important for all who value greatly the Asian / Asian Pacific American communities' many artists and what we can all contribute!
Excerpt from : That Old Feeling: Anna May Wong
Part II of Richard Corliss' tribute to the pioneer Chinese-American star.
Daughter of the Dragon. Paramount 1931.
Based on a Fu Manchu novel by Sax Rohmer.
Daughter of the Dragon extended the curse sworn by Dr. Fu on the Petrie family to the next generation. Fu Manchu (Warner Oland), long ago injured and exiled in an attempt on Petrie Sr., returns to London and confronts the father: "In the 20 years I have fought to live," he says in his florid maleficence, "the thought of killing you and your son has been my dearest nurse." He kills the father, is mortally wounded himself and, on his deathbed, reveals his identity to his daughter Ling Moy (Wong) and elicits her vow that she will "cancel the debt" to the Fu family honor and murder the son, Ronald (Bramwell Fletcher)... who, dash it all, is madly infatuated with Ling Moy. Ronald has seen "Princess Ling Moy Celebrated Oriental Dancer" perform, and the vision has made him woozy. "I wish I could find a word to describe her," this calf-man effuses. "Exotic that's the word! And she's intriguing, if you know what I mean." In a near-clinch, Ling Moy wonders if a Chinese woman can appeal to a British toff. When he begs her to "chuck everything and stay," she asks him, "If I stayed, would my hair ever become golden curls, and my skin ivory, like Ronald's?" But the lure of the exotic is hard to shake. "Strange," he says, "I prefer yours. I shall never forget your hair and your eyes." They almost kiss ... when an off-camera scream shakes him out of his dream. It is from his girlfriend Joan (Frances Dade), and the societal message is as clear and shrill: white woman alerting white man to treachery of yellow woman. Ling Moy, a nice girl, previously unaware of her lineage, might be expected to struggle, at least briefly, with the shock of her identity and the dreadful deed her father obliges her to perform. But Wong makes an instant transformation, hissing, "The blood is mine. The hatred is mine. The vengeance shall be mine." Just before his death, Fu mourns that he has no son to kill Ronald. But, in a good full-throated reading, Wong vows: "Father, father, I will be your son. I will be your son!" The audience then has the fun of watching her stoke Ronald's ardor while plotting his death. When she is with him, pleading and salesmanship radiate from her bigeyes. But when an ally asks her why she keeps encouraging the lad, she sneers and says, "I am giving him a beautiful illusion. Which I shall crush." As a villainess, she is just getting started. Revealing her mission to Ronald, she tells him she plans to kill Joan "Because you must have a thousand bitter tastes of death before you die." (The ripe dialogue is by Hollywood neophyte Sidney Buchman, whose distinguished list of credits would include Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Here Comes Mr Jordan and The Talk of the Town.) She soon ascends on a geyser of madness as she decides on a new torture: "My vengeance is inspired tonight. You will first have the torture of seeing her beauty eaten slowly away by this hungry acid." An aide holds a hose gadget over Joan's soon-to-be-corroded face, and Ronald cries for Ling Moy to stop. Very well she says. "Ling Moy is merciful." She barks at Ronald: "Kill her!" He must decide if his favorite white girl is to be etched with acid or stabbed to death. Great stuff! Melodrama is the art of knowing how precisely too far to goThe film is a triangle: not so much of Ling Moy, Ronald and Joan as of Ling Moy, Ronald and a Chinese detective, Ah Kee, played by Sessue Hayakawa, the Japanese actor who in the teens was Hollywood's first Asian male star. He's not plausibly Chinese here, and he is in a constant, losing battle with spoken English. But he is a part of movie history, in the only studio film of the Golden Age to star two ethnically Asian actors. And he gives his emotive all to such lines as "It is the triumph of irony that the only woman I have ever deeply loved should be born of the blood that I loathe." And in the inevitable double-death finale neither the villainess nor the noble detective can survive the machinations of Hollywood justice he gently caresses the long hair of the lady he would love to have loved. "Flower Ling Moy," he says, a moment before expiring. "A flower need not love, but only be loved. As Ah Kee loved you."
The Personal Anna May Wong
This 5'7 beauty loved to study and could speak in an English accent, as well as being fluent in German and French with more than a passing knowledge of other tongues including Italian and Yiddish. For exercise she rode horses, played golf, and tennis. She liked to cook and regaled her guests with succulent Chinese dishes at frequent dinner parties. She preferred casual clothes, wearing slacks and sweaters at home, but cultivated an oriental motif in her very smart formal wardrobe. She studied singing with Welsh tenor Parry Jones before she participated in the film Limehouse Blues as George Raft's mistress. Anna loved to dance to contemporary music. Anna was quoted as saying, "I think I got my first chance because they thought I was peculiar. But, now I like to believe that the public are fond of me because they think I'm nice."
The story of Anna May Wong’s life traced the arc of triumph and tragedy that marked so many of her films. Wong's youthful ambition and screen appeal got her farther than anyone else of her race. But her race, or rather Hollywood's and America's fear of giving Chinese and other non-whites the same chance as European Americans, kept her from reaching the Golden Mountaintop. We can be startled and impressed by the success she, alone, attained. And still weask: Who knows what Anna May Wong could have been allowed to achieve if she
had been Anna May White?
Anna May Wong passed away on Feb. 3rd 1961 she was 56 years old.

Cute little kit of fun papers for scrapbooking, journaling, etc. I like to add bits of paper to my everyday calendar just to make it interesting so that I look at it! See my profile for shop information.
Actually, this plunger was fine and didn't need any help other than with getting warm when he got out. This is my only photo for tonight. The remainder will be posted tomorrow night.

The toot helps mommy make some bread. His job consisted of scooping sugar, and pouring it back into the sugar canister.
Help me pick my new glasses! This pair is black, with a pink inner trim, and gunmetal arms. Both are the same sort of style that suits my face.
Vote for your favourite pair in the comments.
If you want to help pay for more shoots, see the about section. I can afford another 2 shoots this year. Maybe if we raise enough, we could talk Sarah into a video? Even a dollar or two helps.

I was asked again recently about how to post links in comments, and rather than send the reply by flickr mail, I thought I'd post it here.
For all of you who know all about this stuff, look away now.
For all of you who feel that html is some secret society knowledge passed on only to initiates after a lengthy ritual involving funny handshakes and a handsome contribution to the coffers, read on.
---------
There are times when posting to a discussion thread or commenting on someone's photo you may want to insert a hyperlink. It may be a link to an external website that answers someone's question. It may be a link to another image, or to someone else's comment. Or you may want to slap in an image.
Here's how.
Linking to another web page
Example would be to link to Moko's page
The basic html tag for a link is
<a href="X">Y</a>
where X is the URL you want to link to and Y is the text that you want to serve as the link.
So, to create this link to Moko's photostream, I went onto her page and copied the URL http: //www.flickr.com/photos/moko/
Then I pasted this where the X is in the example above. I then replaced the Y with the words Moko's page.
Easy peasy.
Linking to a specific photo
The same principle applies to linking to photos. If I want to link to dulcelife's insanely macro vision of a fly, I go to the image, copy the URL
http: //www.flickr.com/photos/dulcelife/28328277/ and paste that where the X is.
Linking to specific comments
Sometime you may want to refer to a specific comment in a discussion thread. For example, you may want to refer to someone's comment in the Technique group about using a Lensbaby. But you want to link straight to that comment to save people scrolling down the page to find it.
Go to the comment you want to link to. Underneath you will see the word permalink in brackets. Click on it, and then copy the URL from the address bar as usual, and create the hyperlink as above. (In html terms, this is creating a named anchor.)
Inserting images
Here's where things get fun.
In discussion threads and comments you can insert images.
It doesn't have to be your photo, by the way.
If you are on a photo's page, click the All Sizes button above the image. Click on one of the smaller sizes - Small or Thumbnail is a good idea. Below the image you will see two options - copy the contents of the first box, and paste the contents straight into where you are making the comment. If you don't see these two options it is because this person has blocked this facility, and you will have to make do with posting a link.

I am not having sewing machine joy today. I'm sorry, I know flickr isn't a help forum but I'm not sure where else to turn -- can anyone help? I've broken two needles already this afternoon, re-threaded, checked the tension, but every time I try to sew the thread gets bunched up around the bobbin like this within a couple of stitches, then the main line breaks.
I'm trying to sew fleece -- not sure if this counts as heavy or light fabric -- but the same thing is happening now whatever type of fabric and whatever type of stitch. Anyone seen this kind of thing before?
