Han föds som Werner Ölund i Bjurholm i Ångermanland 1879 men emigrerar som 12-åring med sin familj till USA där de byter namn till Oland.Tidigt intresserar han sig för litteratur och hamnar i vuxen ålder på teaterscenerna på Broadway i New York. För att finansiera sin teaterkarriär och sitt projekt att presentera Strindberg för en amerikansk publik börjar han ta roller i den nya filmindustrin. Där han ofta får spela kines, trots att han helt saknar asiatisk bakgrund.Filmdebuten kommer 1912 och han medverkar även i den första ljudfilmen Jazzsångaren 1927. Efter ett 70-tal filmer, där han ofta får spela elak filmkines, blir han 1931 castad till den snälla kinesiska detektiven Charlie Chan. En roll som gör honom världsberömd.Filmstjärnan försvinnerMen när han ska spela in den 18:e filmen som Charlie Chan är Warner Oland sliten och djupt nere i ett alkoholmissbruk.

När inspelningen ska rulla igång är han försvunnen. Det sägs att han skulle gå ut och ta ett glas vatten.

A Los Angeles native, Anna May Wong began acting in silent films when she was a teenager, but she didn't reach mainstream notoriety until her role in the film “Daughter Of The Dragon” where she played the daughter of Warner Oland's Fu Manchu. Wong went on to star in numerous films becoming the first Chinese American movie star. Yet, despite her success, Wong faced much criticism. Although she was often celebrated for her part in furthering Asian representation, she was equally condemned for furthering harmful Asian stereotypes in her roles. Today on FilmWeek, Larry speaks with Yunte Huang, professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Guggenheim Fellow, and author of the new book “Daughter of the Dragon: Anna May Wong's Rendezvous with American History.” Huang shares the long journey Wong took to become a prominent actress in the United States and the barriers she faced in both her career and personal life working under a Hays Code Hollywood.

ALERT: An early program -- the quality is not the best and includes scratches and blips. Also, this is an edited program with the music parts removed. Going forward, I'll air clearer productions from the JB program. Program includes: 'News of the Week,' Jack "interviews" J. Barrett Wimpole a "Shakespearean" actor. Also, the cast does, "Charlie Chan In Radio City." Charlie Chan was a popular fictional mystery novel & movie detective character at the time, famously played by white actor, Warner Oland.

El cantor de jazz (The Jazz Singer, 1927, EE. UU.) de Alan Crosland, con Al Jolson, May McAvoy y Warner Oland (88') Presentación: Manuel Hidalgo Rabinowitz quiere ser cantante de jazz. Pero su padre, rabino de una iglesia judía ortodoxa, no ve con buenos ojos las aspiraciones de su hijo, porque aspira a que este continúe la tradición familiar y cante en la sinagoga. Desafiando los deseos paternos, Jakie emprende su carrera en solitario. El cantor de jazz es una película silente durante la mayor parte de su metraje. Sin embargo, sus doce minutos con sonido sincronizado (gracias al entonces revolucionario sistema Vitaphone) bastaron para convertirse en un claro hito en el paso del mudo al sonoro, y ha quedado para la posteridad la fuerza simbólica de uno de esos diálogos: el "¡Aún no han oído nada!" que Al Jolson parece dirigir más a los espectadores que a los personajes del film. Una gran hazaña para una modesta cinta que, de forma apropiada, trata sobre la pugna entre tradición y modernidad. El sábado se proyecta el vídeo de la presentación del día anterior.Más información de este acto

Cine en la Fundación: Los orígenes del cine musical (I). Presentación de "Don Juan" (1926) de Alan Crosland. Luis Martínez. Don Juan (1926, EE. UU.) de Alan Crosland, con John Barrymore, Mary Astor y Warner Oland (112') Presentación: Luis Martínez En la Roma dominada por la familia Borgia, Don Juan vive sus aventuras amorosas usando y desechando a las mujeres a su antojo. Sin embargo, cuando se sitúa en el punto de mira de la maquiavélica Lucrecia Borgia, se ve envuelto en una red de intrigas y complots que amenazan su vida. Un año antes de que Al Jolson pronunciara en El cantor de jazz su célebre "¡Aún no han oído nada!", el sistema Vitaphone ya se utilizaba para incorporar sonido a las películas, si bien de forma tentativa y parcial. El mismo director de aquella, Alan Crosland, concibió y filmó este Don Juan enteramente como una cinta muda (sus diálogos son aún íntegramente en forma de intertítulos), pero posteriormente se le añadió una banda sonora completa de música y efectos sonoros sincronizados con la imagen.

Den amerikanska filmskådespelerskan Anna May Wong (1905-1961) betraktades under 1930-talet som en av tidens bästa klädda kvinnor, både privat och professionellt. Hon var även kvick, kul, berest och talade flera språk. Men hon hade ett fel hon hade kinesiska föräldrar. På film fick hon därför bara spela vampar och skurkar och aldrig kyssa en man. Sämre betalt än sina kollegor fick hon också. Hennes ursprung begränsade henne. Men hon var en lysande skådespelare. Och stilmässigt var det ingen som kom i närheten av Anna May Wong. Hennes kläder har inspirerat en hel del designer genom åren och gör det fortfarande även om hennes namn inte längre är särskilt välkänt. I veckans STIL ska vi titta närmare på denna stilsäkra kvinna som var den första amerikansk-kinesiska filmstjärnan. Även om rollerna var begränsade för Anna May Wong, så var intresset för henne gränslöst. Hon var lång 1,74 och smal och plattbröstad och kunde konsten att bära upp kläder som en fotomodell. Hon var mycket modeintresserad, och sydde gärna själv. Hon förekom ofta i fotoreportage och hennes raka hållning, självklara elegans och trendiga klädval prisades över hela världen. Hon var tidigt ute med att 1927 posera i en byxkjol med kavaj, en businessdress för kvinnor kallade hon den. Hon bar gärna den kinesiska klänningsmodellen cheongsam, som populariserades under 30-talet i Kina då den blev figurnära och en favorit bland dåtidens medvetna och bättre bemedlade kvinnor. Just nu kan man se ett par av Anna May Wongs klänningar, och klipp från hennes filmer, på årets stora modeutställning på Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York. China: Through the Looking Glass, heter den. Och där platsar plaggen, och hon, perfekt. För utställningen handlar inte om Kina, utan om hur vi här i väst har tolkat kinesisk kultur och skapat en asiatisk fantasivärld, inte minst inom mode. Och mat! I veckans program tar vi en titt på hur svenska kinarestauranger ofta har varit ett hopkok av en den stereotypa, västerländska bilden av landet i fjärran Öster: ett fejkat Kina. Vi har också åkt till Västerbotten för att gå i skådespelaren Warner Olands fotspår. Eller Verner Öhlund, som han egentligen hette. Han kom ursprungligen från Bjurholm, men kom att bli framgångsrik filmstjärna i Amerika, dit hans familj emigrerade i slutet av 1800-talet. Bland annat spelade Warner Oland mot Anna May Wong, ofta i rollen som kines. Yellowface kallades det. Mer om det berättar vi i veckans program. Veckans gäst är Boel Ulfsdotter, lektor i kulturvetenskaper vid Göteborgs universitet.
