Found this photo today at Velveteen Rabbit. The links went back to a Tumblr blog called Old Hollywood which seems to have great images, but I can't seem to find it there.
The photo looks like a studio glossy publicity shot. I assume the upbending of the lateral canthus of the eye is meant to evoke the "Mr. Moto" movies of the 1930s or other oriental films, but what is the gesture he's making with his right hand? It's not the "shocker," and probably not Churchill's victory sign, but it does look vaguely like the "gang" gestures of more modern times. It presumably had some other significance two generations ago. Any ideas?
