Anna paid for the camera's on this early quest. The later '50's work was separate thou one may suspect some '30's footage could have easily been inserted.

Inpowers Mojave888 and other emails, thanks. Mingling with the Angels since 1960, mortal man and woman will someday elevate Anna as well. Within modern society and the integration of races, Anna May Wong's place as the Matriarch of East/West integration, awaits her deserved honor.

Note the complete awl of her presence among the Chinese film community, who uniquely knew just how magical she must be. China's major star Hu Die in awl as well, accompanies her. The following is thanks to China org.

Movie stars in Shanghai, China's Hollywood, captured the public's imagination as early as the mid-1920s. Both stars and starlets had passionate, adoring fans and in 1933, the tabloid Star Daily (Mingxing Daily) sponsored the first grand and sensational Oscar-style contest for "movie queen."

To capitalize on film fever and star-struck fans, the tabloid launched by Chen Dieyi decided to sponsor China's biggest movie queen contest. And it was fabulously successful, tumultuous and controversial.
A smaller but still exciting tabloid contest had been held the year before, 1932, for the top 10 actors and actresses. And one was held even earlier by an amusement park in 1926.
