In Chinatown — Hugh Wiley
PERIL PRESS presents:
Collier's, June 30, 1934
IN CHINATOWN
by Hugh Wiley
Illustrated by John Gannam
Wherein the suave James Lee Wong, under-cover man, encounters a murder mystery, and overlooks the evidence in favor of a quiet little talk --
In Chinatown. At the heart of the mystery.
5200 Words
This edition includes the illustrations from the story plus a gallery of 16 cartoons and ads from the issue of Colliers in which this story was first published.
In response to the popularity of Fox's Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto movie series, Monogram decided to start a series of their own that featured an Asian Detective. So they used Hugh Wiley's Detective James Lee Wong character for their Mr Wong series of movies that starred BORIS KARLOFF in the lead role for the first 4 movies and Keye Luke (#1 Son in the Charlie Chan movies) as Mr Wong in the final movie.
