Insuffifient sourcing, plus speculation

[edit]

Note: IMDb alone is not sufficient sourcing. It's a site of volunteer information, like Wikipedia, but with much less robust user editing. Anyone can go into it and say "The Chink and teh Child" is an alternate title. But there's no other reference I cand fin for this assertion. If it was a nickname used by racists, that's much different from it being the title on a marquee!

Also, the analysis about it being an "apologia" is unsourced speculation, and as such must be either cited as an authority's analysis (saying that "so-and-so has written") or removed. - 152.163.100.136 19:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The alternate title for Broken Blossoms is "The Yellow Man and The Girl" - it appears on the title screen of the movie. The name "The Chink And The Child" is the name of the story that the movie was based on - it is a story in Thomas Burke's "Limehouse Nights" - a collection of his short stories.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.121.41 (talk) 23:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Theatre premiere?

[edit]

Was that the George M. Cohen Theatre (for which I can only find two references) or the George M. Cohan Theatre, founded in 1911 and the venue for many film and stage play openings? --Bluejay Young 23:42, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
