It should be Sidney Toler. Its one of the best Charlie Chan posters despite the spelling error.
Thoroughly agree. To me it is a magnificent looking film poster and certainly one of the best, if not the best Charlie Chan daybill film posters that I have ever sighted. and there were some great Fox. 20th Century Fox and BEF daybill and one sheet Charlie Chan Australian film posters produced during the 1930s and the 1940s
If anyone is interested you can check out an earlier thread titled Rare Charle Chan Posters from March 2017. There are four very rare nice looking Australian BEF one sheet images included there.
O.k. then time to reveal that the problem with the Australian titled Secret Four daybill is that the original U.S.A. titled Kansas City Confidential 1952 film was screened in Australia and the U.K. as being The Secret Four.
(Trove/NLA) Australian newspaper advertising placed for the film's Australian release starting in 1953. The cowboy image appearing above for Bad Men of Tombstone looks like Roy Rogers to me, and who didn't appear in the film. This advertisement also has 4 instead of four printed there.
