Here's an interesting postcard I picked up at a swap meet. It shows a contingent of young Chinese students of English who won a scholastic competition. The prize was a tour of the United States. When the little tour group hit Hollywood, they were given the opportunity to meet the favorite actor of their choice. And who did these young movie fans unanimously decide upon? Why, Peter Lorre, of course!

This picture shows Peter answering questions and having a pleasant conversation with this lucky group of savvy cinemaphiles. It is reported that he spent more than two hours with them, and took them all out for ice-cream sodas afterwards. What wonderful memories of that day these children must have carried with them!
This picture appears to have been taken at about the time Peter was making "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944).
