Hawaii_Steve: Nice.

Matt1: Cued here

Hawaii_Steve: Cued here.

Rush: Another is about Chabing and about a general in her life!

Matt1: Scandalous!

mda19083: always wanted to know more about Chabing

Rush: And the third is a tribute to Barbara Jean wong, who plays Princess Mei Ling in tonight’s movie.

Rush: The info about Chabing is pretty unusual!

mda19083: and she is no Disney princess

Rush: No.

Rush: Chabing is one of three names she went by.

Hawaii_Steve: Interesting. selection.

mda19083: I also have 3 names I go by – no details will be forthcoming from me on that though

Rush: As Steve can attest, it is not always easy to come up with extras directly relating to a Monogram chan film!

Rush: MDA…:)

mda19083: I am in the witness protection program

Rush: AH!

Rush: ðŸ™‚

Hawaii_Steve: You are so correct, Mr. Rush.

Rush: We actually had some light snow flurries in my area this afternoon!

Hawaii_Steve: I’ve been reading the Karloff Lugosi book.

Matt1: Yikes!

mda19083: what!

Rush: Yes, steve?

Rush: Yes…winter knocks at Fall’s door!

Hawaii_Steve: It states that only two Monogram buildings are standing today (1990).

Rush: Supposed to have higher temps later this week.

Matt1: How is the family adapting to the change of seasons, Rush…..especially the cold & snow?

Rush: How many buildings were there originally?

mda19083: the annotated jeckyl and hyde will be released tomorrow

Rush: Do we know?

Hawaii_Steve: “The Story of a Haunting Collaboration” by Gregory William Mank.

Rush: Or, was it sort of a mish-mash of structures?

Rush: Sounds like a good one, Steve.

mda19083: where abouts was the M studio located?

Hawaii_Steve: There is conflicting information about the buildings and number of stages at Monogram.

Hawaii_Steve: Sunset Blvd.

Hawaii_Steve: Hollywood

mda19083: thanks – I am ready for my close up

Hawaii_Steve: I have read about two large studios and one small studio.

Rush: And who whould guess of her relationship to MacArthur?

mda19083: we now know the rest of the story

Hawaii_Steve: MacArthur was an old army dog.

Rush: Could also explain the general’s deep desire to liberate the Philippines.

mda19083: he did more than smoke a pipe

Rush: Yes!

mda19083: rush 🙂

Hawaii_Steve: As a tour guide at the SS Missouri, we spoke often about MacArthur. Never heard any of this stuff.

Rush: I would guess not!

mda19083: it is on You Tube – it must be true

Rush: Although, who among us is perfect? We are all human, subject to flaws…

Hawaii_Steve: If true, this happened a decade before WW2.

Rush: Yes.

Hawaii_Steve: Very interesting story.

Rush: She was in the US during the war.
