01-09 18:33

Rush:

Yes, Steve!

That can happen.

01-09 18:33

Matt:

A cold in Hawaii? SO wrong!

01-09 18:33

Hawaii_Steve:

I have the volume on and up on my computer.  I hear “pops” each time someone sends a message.

01-09 18:33

Rush:

Me as well.

01-09 18:33

Hawaii_Steve:

Yes Matt.

01-09 18:33

Matt:

You can silence the “pop”

01-09 18:34

Rush:

If wanted, yes.

01-09 18:34

Hawaii_Steve:

No. I like the pop.  Lets me know that somebody is writing something.

01-09 18:34

Matt:

Makes me desire popcorn

01-09 18:35

Rush:

Wait until Louise arrives!  She has a whole collection of sounds!

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Look at those two distinguished gentlemen!

01-09 18:38

Hawaii_Steve:

Trying a few extras.

01-09 18:38

Rush:

That was a WONDERFUL time, was it not?

01-09 18:38

Hawaii_Steve:

Where?  Where?

01-09 18:39

Rush:

Speaking of extras…tonight we have but one, but it’s a “goody.”

01-09 18:39

Hawaii_Steve:

This chat room is so much better than the old one.  We thinks.

01-09 18:39

Rush:

The trailer for “Charlie Chan Carries On.”

01-09 18:39

Mike n Rachel in DC:

LOL Steve.  You’re channeling the Three Stooges.

01-09 18:39

Rush:

I do agree, Steve!

01-09 18:39

Matt:

Agreed!

01-09 18:40

Hawaii_Steve:

“Gentlemen”  I love the stooges, when Larry says, “Who came in?”

01-09 18:40

Mike n Rachel in DC:

We do too.  Rachel:  OH WOW!

01-09 18:40

Rush:

And, i don’t think anyone geets “booted” for non activity.

01-09 18:40

Matt:

Not yet!

Matt:

Later years

01-09 18:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Fun-nee!

01-09 18:41

Rush:

Circa 1961, i’d say.

01-09 18:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

That looks like it might have been from my youth

01-09 18:41

Hawaii_Steve:

When I was a teenager, I watch the Stooge features on the big screen.

01-09 18:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

1961?  Then yes, it was.

01-09 18:41

Rush:

Yes!

01-09 18:42

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Rachel: Jeez. You’re old.

01-09 18:42

Matt:

lol

01-09 18:42

Rush:

MeTV runs two hours of the Three Stooges before Svengoolie!

01-09 18:42

Mike n Rachel in DC:

These children I tell you…no respect these days

01-09 18:42

Rush:

01-09 18:43

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Steve, there was an annual Three Stooges marathon in a movie theater in Ann Arbor when I was in school.  I would nearly expire from laughing every year.

01-09 18:43

Rush:

My local TV ran the Three Stooges shorts in the morning, and I watched them before walking to school!

01-09 18:44

Matt:

What a way to go off to school….with a smile!

01-09 18:44

Mike n Rachel in DC:

The plumbers were a favorite…as well as Nacki, Waki and Saki

01-09 18:44

Rush:

Yes, Mike?

01-09 18:44

Hawaii_Steve:

Years ago, I bought the entire Columbia shorts collection at Costco.  As an adult, its amazing to watch these guys.  The timing.  The expressions.  Wonderful.

01-09 18:44

Rush:

True, Matt…!

I have that set as well, Steve!@

01-09 18:46

Rush:

I am not too fond of the Joe Besser ones.

01-09 18:46

Hawaii_Steve:

When I worked as a stock broker’s assistant, I met Joan Howard Maurer, daughter of Moe.  Shearson handled her stock account.

01-09 18:46

Matt:

How cool

01-09 18:46

Rush:

Mantan Moreland would have neen MAGIC for the series!

01-09 18:46

Matt:

Yes!

01-09 18:46

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Fascinating, Steve.

01-09 18:47

Rush:

really, Steve!  NICE!!

01-09 18:47

Hawaii_Steve:

Joan invited me over to her house.  We had a drink together.  And spoke about stooge scripts.

01-09 18:47

Rush:

WOW!

01-09 18:47

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Was her father still alive at the time?

01-09 18:48

Rush:

On occasion one can see how some material was “borrowed” from Laurel and Hardy!

01-09 18:48

Hawaii_Steve:

I met Joan around 1990.  Moe died in 1975, I believe.

01-09 18:48

Rush:

Yes.

01-09 18:49

Rush:

Just after he was on the Mike Douglas Show.

And, THAT is calssic!

CLASSIC, as well!

01-09 18:49

Hawaii_Steve:

My favorite stooge feature is Around the World in a Daze.  I was trying to get a copy of the script from Joan.  It didn’t happen.

01-09 18:49

Rush:

AH!

01-09 18:49

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Gotcha. There was a film host in Detroit (Bill Kennedy)…from time to time he would get Moe or Larry on the phone and do a phone interview with them.

That would have been a treasure, Steve.

01-09 18:50

Rush:

When I was in Jr. High in the L.A. area, Billy Barty had a cartoon show, and on occasion the Three Stooges showed up!

He ran the Three Stooges cartoons.

01-09 18:51

Hawaii_Steve:

GodwynShelley got me a DVD of Moe on the Mike Douglas Show.  Just wonderful.  Moe was my favorite stooge.

01-09 18:51

Mike n Rachel in DC:

That must have been a treat. I recall that Moe and Larry were always so grateful to be remembered.

01-09 18:51

Rush:

Moe was GREAT!

My sister didn’t like him as she thought he was mean to the others!

01-09 18:52

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Ha.  The Three Stooges would probably be censored for violence or something nowadays.  Very glad I got to see them when I did.

01-09 18:52

Matt:

I was a Curly and Larry fan, especially since Larry was from Philly

01-09 18:52

Rush:

I see we have one “viewer.” I wonder if that could be Angel trying to enter.

Two now!

01-09 18:52

Hawaii_Steve:

Most women are not fans of the Stooges.  Or Laurel & Hardy.  Disrespectful toward women.

01-09 18:52

Rush:

Arrivals at the fron t door!

01-09 18:53

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Hm.  Our viewership is increasing, Rush.

Or maybe it’s the pizza I ordered?

01-09 18:53

Matt:

C’mon In!

01-09 18:53

Rush:

well…how about we run the extra?

01-09 18:53

Matt:

Hello Angel!

01-09 18:53

Rush:

Mike n Rachel in DC:

OK.  Is it a link…in the email?

01-09 18:53

Matt:

01-09 18:53

Rush:

Hawaii_Steve:

Geno’s house of rare films.

01-09 18:55

Rush:

GO!!!

01-09 18:56

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Hm.  Edit:  How about “based on” instead of “based off of”

01-09 18:56

Rush:

Here we go…finally!

01-09 18:59

Rush:

And there we have it!

01-09 18:59

Hawaii_Steve:

Amazing.

01-09 18:59

Matt:

Thnx Rush!

01-09 18:59

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Very nice. Oland looked quite young in that film!

01-09 18:59

Rush:

I remember hearing about the existence of this trailer about 15 years ago!

01-09 19:00

Mike n Rachel in DC:

We could see a glimpse of how he started with the Chan character too…it’s a great find.

01-09 19:00

Matt:

A & F!

01-09 19:00

Rush:

Then it was kept by the Library of Congress.

01-09 19:00

Hawaii_Steve:

Sometimes, trailers are made up of footage not used in the feature film.  Could be true with CC Caries On.

01-09 19:00

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Has an Angel appeared?

01-09 19:00

Matt:

As we still hold out hope for the lost film

01-09 19:00

Rush:

Finally, it became available, and it is quite a little gem, is it not?

I think he left.

01-09 19:01

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Yes.  It definitely whets the appetite for more.

01-09 19:01

Rush:

BACK!  As his usualy self…with FOXX!

Welcome back, Angel!!!

I hope that he can post.

01-09 19:03

Rush:

12 minutes until showtime!

01-09 19:03

Hawaii_Steve:

Angel can post.  He just being coy.

01-09 19:03

Rush:

01-09 19:03

Matt:

Hello Duane!

01-09 19:03

Rush:

I know that he’s had some techical issues.  Last week he could only enter through Facebook.

01-09 19:03

Duane:

Hello all

01-09 19:04

Rush:

Duane!!!

WELCOME!!!

How are you this evening?

01-09 19:04

Duane:

Thank you Rush

01-09 19:04

Hounder:

Hi all. Just a quick check in as I have company!

01-09 19:04

Rush:

Hounder!

01-09 19:04

Duane:

Fine

01-09 19:04

Matt:

Hello Hounder!

01-09 19:04

Rush:

How’s your mother, hounder?

01-09 19:04

Hounder:

Hi Duane. Welcome.

01-09 19:05

Rush:

Happy to hear, Duane!

01-09 19:05

Hawaii_Steve:

It my opinion that the film archives, from around the world, communicate with one another.  If we haven’t found the “missing” Chan films during the last 50 years, I believe that we never will.

01-09 19:05

Hounder:

Mom’s doing ok. Hanging in there.

01-09 19:05

Rush:

Looking that way, Steve….sadly….

Good to hear that, Hounder.

01-09 19:06

Duane:

New site is great thank you

01-09 19:06

Hawaii_Steve:

Even the film archives in Communist countries communicate to the USA and England … with regard to saving old films.

01-09 19:06

Hounder:

See you all next week. Tell the others I said hi.

01-09 19:07

Hawaii_Steve:

Aloha Hounder.

01-09 19:07

Matt:

Take care Hounder

01-09 19:07

Rush:

If anyone needs a copy of the film to watch, here is the address to an online copy…

During the daytime, 1931 Universal Studios, Tod Browning was filming Dracula with Lugosi.  At night, on the same sets, Universal was filming a Spanish-language version of Dracula with a different cast.  Check out YouTube.

01-09 19:27

Yes.

Don’t take tips, don’t give rips.  Perfect balance.

01-09 19:49

Matt:

Nice footage

01-09 19:49

Hawaii_Steve:

There were no other foreign-language Charlie Chan films made by Hollywood after this one because, shortly after this movie came out, a method of putting sound on the actual film was developed, and so voice dubbing became more practical.

01-09 19:49

mda19083:

This Mauricio needs a tail.

01-09 19:53

“Mer-CI!”

01-09 19:53

Hawaii_Steve:

From 1927 to 1931, approximately, the film soundtracks were on large glass discs.  Like an extra large 33-1/3 record.

01-09 19:53

Rush:

This gentleman is trying hard not to like her!

01-09 19:56

Problems around the GLOBE ultimately bankrupted the Pacific Cable Co.

01-09 19:56

Hawaii_Steve:

Same stock footage used in the Black Camel.

01-09 19:57

Rush:

01-09 19:57

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Wasn’t that surfing shot used in one of “our” Chans, Rush?

01-09 19:57

Of the surfers.

“The Black camel”

01-09 19:57

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Good eye, Steve!

01-09 19:57

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Theater is a black camel.

01-09 19:57

Hawaii_Steve:

Also, the music behind Chan is similar to the music of the Chan radio show.

01-09 19:57

Rush:

Duff is at police headquarters.

01-09 19:57

Mike n Rachel in DC:

But less in tune, sadly, Steve.

01-09 19:57

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Sharlie Shan.

01-09 19:58

Rush:

I suspect that the music was also heard in “CC Carries On.”

01-09 19:58

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

MUST HAVE THAT ROBE.

01-09 19:58

Rush:

Steve, recognize the buildings?

01-09 19:58

Mike n Rachel in DC:

It’s bad.   Wonder what the recording situation was at the time.

01-09 19:58

mda19083:

01-09 19:59

We see this office set in “The Black Camel.

01-09 19:59

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Did they not have an adult-size bow-tie for CC?

01-09 19:59

mda19083:

01-09 19:59

Hawaii_Steve:

Stock footage of Bishop Street.  Some of the buildings still stand today.

01-09 19:59

Rush:

Not a strangler this time.

Yes, Stevce?

01-09 19:59

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

And your pipe will smoke you, Duffster.

01-09 20:00

Which street were we mainly seeing?

01-09 20:00

Hawaii_Steve:

When the car turns, we see the actual dock where Warner Oland arrived when the shot the Black Camel.

Rush:

“Sayonara.”

01-09 20:02

Rush:

01-09 20:03

Hawaii_Steve:

In the book, Duff is shot.  In the movie, Duff is strangled.  Or is it the other way around.

01-09 20:03

Rush:

Yes!  Take him to a hospital!

01-09 20:03

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Colonel Mustard in the foyer with the xylophone.

01-09 20:03

Mrs. Chan is Japanese?

01-09 20:03

There should at least be other officers helping Duff!!!

01-09 20:03

English trailer, that is.

01-09 20:08

The three monkeys…

01-09 20:09

Rush:

Yes, steve!

Good news about Inspector duff.

01-09 20:09

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

FIRST APPEARANCE of TYSM????

01-09 20:09

mda19083:

01-09 20:10

The earliest we have on film, Angel!

Maybe there was on in the trailer.  That would be earlier!

01-09 20:11

Hawaii_Steve:

Actor Manuel Arbo (CC) lived until 1973.  Born and died in Spain.

01-09 20:11

Rush:

Yes.

01-09 20:11

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

TYSM!!

01-09 20:12

I recently saw a Spanich movie on TCM, and Arbo was in it.

01-09 20:12

Hawaii_Steve:

01-09 20:12

Rush:

i didn’t recognize him, until I saw the credits at the end.

01-09 20:13

Hawaii_Steve:

Arbo made many films, all in Spanish.  He appeared in a Spanish vampire film too.

01-09 20:13

Rush:

A bunch of the three monkeys!

01-09 20:13

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

That “no man is a fool till . . . ” thing sounds a lot like the divinity concept of sin and the law.

01-09 20:13

Hawaii_Steve:

Arbo outlived Oland by 35 years.

01-09 20:14

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Oh-HO!!!!!

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

01-09 20:15

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

To trap your man, man your trap.

01-09 20:15

Hawaii_Steve:

According to IMDb, Arbo appears in the Spanish Dracula, that we spoke of earlier.

01-09 20:15

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Here’s a bag o’ dimes.

01-09 20:16

Rush:

Interesting, Steve.

01-09 20:17

But…was Arbo in any of the Aztec Mummy movies?  Now THOSE are classics

01-09 20:17

An interesting, cute scene happens soon, relating to the ship’s horn.

01-09 20:17

01-09 20:20

Mike n Rachel in DC:

01-09 20:20

That was why he was reluctant to get close to her earlier.

Even better, Rush.
