Invented the character of Fu Manchu, a brilliant Mandarin Chinese
criminal mastermind who symbolized the "Yellow Peril" that allegedly
threatened the Western world.
Imagine a person, tall and lean and feline, high-shouldered with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan - a close-shaven skull, and long magnetic eyes of the true cat-green. Invest him with the all the cruel cunning of an entire Eastern race accumulated in one giant intellect, with all the resources of science past and present. Imagine that awful being and you will have a mental picture of Fu Manchu.
