DescriptionChang-Apana-Warner-Oland-1931.jpg
Photograph of Chang Apana and Warner Oland during the filming of The Black Camel in Honolulu. Snipe attached to reverse of photo reads as follows: FICTION AND FACT Earl Derr Biggers, the novelist, conceived the character of Charlie Chan, the Chinese detective, from a note casually noticed in a Honolulu newspaper to the effect that Chang Apana, a Chinese detective on the local force had arrested a Chinaman for the illegal possession of narcotics. The Fox company, making the latest novel of this series, “The Black Camel”, in the original locations in Hawaii, invited Apana to visit the company and he is here shown (left) with Warner Oland, the Chan of the screen.
