The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries – Episode 9: Zarmi’s Smile

The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries (1923) were a series of silent shorts based on the Sax Rohmer-penned novels featuring the mystery man of the show’s title, starring Harry Agar Lyons as Fu Manchu, Joan Clarkson as Karamenah, Fred Paul as Nayland Smith, Humberston Wright as Dr. Petrie, and Julie Sudo as Zarmi.

In this episode, fan favourite Zarmi returns. Consider by many to be the most enigmatic of all The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries, it was also the most successful, making over 1 million shillings at the box office in Britain alone (exportation of this film was prohibited over the Alluring Images Act of 1921).
