A Ray of Light

Collier's, May 25, 1935 Mr. A RAY OF LIGHT A James Lee detective story— by Hugh Wiley illustrated by Irving Nurick A Ray of Light. Beauty in distress; James Lee Wong to the rescue. Page 21 The mystery of Louise Harwood’s missing diamond—and of the man who gave it to her. A perfect case for James Lee, soft-spoken Department of Justice under-cover man. And a curiously fascinating story. Now in an Illustrated Version! Hugh Wiley wrote a series of stories featuring the Famous Chinese Detective, James Lee Wong, of San Francisco for Collier’s and Blue Book magazines. To rival the movie exploits of Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto, Monogram hired Boris Karloff to play Wiley’s Detective in a series of 5 movies between 1938 and 1940. The 6th movie, also in 1940, featured Key Luke in the role of Mr. Wong, who had previously played Charlie Chan’s number one son.
