1926140498Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1926. Draft script for the 1927 Silent film. <br/><br/>Based on the 1913 yellow peril play by Henry Maurice Vernon and Harold Owen and previously adapted for the screen in 1919 directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Matheson Lang. Lon Chaney in full yellowface murders his daughter after discovering she loves the son of a British diplomat then seeks revenge on son and his the entire family. <br/><br/>Anna May Wong who has a small role in the film was originally considered for the role of the daughter but censorship of mixed race relationships on the screen caused the role going to a white actress a sadly all-too-familiar story in her career.
