Margaret Livingston in The Streets of Shanghai, 1927

In 1927 the beautiful Margaret Livingston was a major film star and The Streets of Shanghai was a much anticipated movie event. Silent stars of the time (now really quite forgotten) were the main stars though a youngish Jason Robards Sr. appeared in the film as did a young Anna May Wong and Toshia Mori, a Japanese actress who had a Hollywood career. Sadly you can’t see the film as it is now officially considered “lost” and it is thought no copy exists anywhere (which is very sad). However, a few stills from lobby cards exist (see below).
