La hija del dragón

Warner Oland was a Swedish actor who attributed his slightly Asian appearance to his Russian grandmother who was of Mongolian descent. Oland is, of course, most famous for playing Charlie Chan in 20th-Century-Fox's highly successful film franchise until his death in 1938. La hija del dragón (1931) was the third and final film where Oland played the title character. He also played Fu in a skit in Galas de la Paramount (1930). Oland would sign with Fox Pictures soon after this film and begin his long association with Earl Derr Biggers's famous character, the fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan. Before he played Chan, Oland made a career out of playing different nationalities from Chinese to Japanese to Russian. He even played Al Jolson's disapproving rabbi father in El cantor de jazz (1927). The majority of his roles were as Asians.
