HON. MR. WONG
Casting for "The Hon. Mr. Wong," a Warner Bros. First National picture, was one of the most important md painstaking jobs which" went into the making of this picture. The casting director found it necessary to consider not only acting ability, but the adaptability of the player's face to Chinese make-up. It was also necessary to choose a few English-speaking Chinese whose voices would register properly, and these had to be more than average Chinese height, so that they would not appear incongruous in a cast of taller Occidentals.
