UPDATE and solution (22 July 2012):
After some to and fro ↑Kueperpunk finally ↵solved the riddle: It’s Keye Luke as ‘Number One Son Lee Chan’ welcoming his father Charlie Chan (Warner Oland) in ‘Charlie Chan in Shanghai’ (Tinling 1935). Earlier on, when Kueperpunk still was on a false trail, Alexander Rabitsch already was close when he ↵mistook Keye Luke for Victor Sen Yung—who in later Charlie-Chan movies, after Warner Oland had died and was replaced by Sidney Toler, played ‘Number Two Son Jimmy Chan.’
This is the way to greet Humphrey Bogart! Might be “Across the Pacific”?
No, neither is it Humphrey Bogart who is greeted, nor is the movie ‘Across the Pacific’ (Huston & Sherman 1942), sorry :-)
So the guy on the pic should be Victor Sen Yung … hm, I admitt, I have problems recognizing Asian faces, I´m not used to …
It’s not Victor Sen Yung, but you are close, oh so close … :D
Looks to me like Keye Luke.
Keye Luke it is!
Mr.Moto? Alias Peter Lorre?
But no, it’s not Peter Lorre as Mr. Moto who is greeted.
Salute to the Marines?
No, sorry, not the Marines, but the scene indeed takes place at a harbour.
Charlie Chan?
Yes, Charlie Chan is greeted with much emotion—congratulations! From the information in the picture even the movie could be deduced …
Charlie Chan in Shanghai?
Absolutely correct, it is ‘Charlie Chan in Shanghai’ (Tinling 1935) :D
Good fun again. And have a look in your mailbox. I have sent you a mail yesterday ;-).
congratz! =)
