Secrets of Chinatown (1935)
The "magic eye of Lao Tsee" medallion, depicts a symbol "that holds the secret of the most mysterious of all the yogi matters". [00:02:20] Note that the eye sits atop a mountain, not a pyramid; and that it is not contained within a triangle. This eye with radiating, flashing lines may be taken from the long out of print novel, The Black Robe by Guy Morton.
