THE MYSTERY OF FU MANCHU (1923) 13 of 15 Chapters. Tinted

THE MYSTERY OF FU MANCHU is a series of fifteen silent films collectively called The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu, all filmed in 1923, followed by a 1924 series of eight additional Fu Manchu films under the title "The Further Mysteries of Dr. Fu Manchu". Harry Agar Lyons starred in the title role of all 23 movies (which ran about 20 –25 minutes each in length), all of which featured Fu's ongoing battle with his two British nemeses, Sir Nayland Smith (played by Fred Paul) and his assistant Dr. Petrie. Both series were produced by Oswald Stoll (see List of Stoll Pictures films), who had earlier produced a 1920 film version of Sax Rohmer's 1915 "Yellow Peril" novel. In spite of the many films in which Lyons played an Oriental character, the obviously British actor "put forth little effort to make himself seem anything other than Caucasian". He also starred in another evil Asian genius series, entitled "Sin Fang" in 1929. Only chapters 2-8, 10-15 of THE MYSTERY OF FU MANCHU fully survive These are included. I will try to include the available chapters of "The Further Mysteries of Dr. Fu Manchu" and the "Sin Fang Adventures" in the future.
I believe that of these series are really serials, because the feature main characters (Fu Manchu and Sin Fang) survive every effort to eradicate them. The very episodic nature of of the series makes them serials.
