11-13 18:36

11-13 18:37
Rush:
I have something that might work that I can send to you.

11-13 18:37
Mike in DC:
All is well there, Matt. Best of all, the university just cancelled classes next week, so I can leave early for our Thanksgiving time together.

11-13 18:37
HonoluLou:
No worries. I wrote a song and we are going to give it a first go on Wednesday…a Jazz verstion of the Itsy Bitsy Spidet.

11-13 18:37
Rush:
AH!

11-13 18:37

Nice, Lou.

11-13 18:37

11-13 18:38
Rush:


11-13 18:38
HonoluLou:
Yes, fun stuff for sure, HaHa, wish I’d thought a that.

11-13 18:38
Mike in DC:
I could see it as a Duke Ellington tune

11-13 18:39
HonoluLou:
Mike, it’ll be mostly bass and brushes, then scat, then full rhythm. Only 4 instruments.
I’ll see if Duke is available, or maybe Cab Calloway

11-13 18:39
Matt:
Hello Hounder….and Congratulations on your winning horse last week!

11-13 18:40
Mike in DC:
OK. I was imagining a big shout chorus at the end…

11-13 18:40
hounder:
hi everyone.

11-13 18:40
Mike in DC:
…dancing girls dressed in spider outfits…the woiks!

11-13 18:40
HonoluLou:

11-13 18:40
Rush:
Hello, Hounder!

11-13 18:40

11-13 18:41
Rush:
I have another one that may be wotth it.

11-13 18:41
HonoluLou:
Great Rush. This may be short, but still it’ll have some umph.

11-13 18:43
Mike in DC:
I have tracked down Oscar Levant’s papers in the Yale library, and the catalog says that there are some sketches for the opera “Carnival” in there. Next time I’m in New Haven I”m going to go take a look. You might have something about Levant and the opera at some point, Lou…

11-13 18:43
Rush:
“Is Charlie Chan a Racist Stereotype?” if that is acceptable.
Of course, you can guess where I am coming from!

11-13 18:43
hounder:
nice mike!

11-13 18:44
Mike in DC:
Catchy title, Rush.

11-13 18:44
HonoluLou:
Rush, I see know problem with it.

11-13 18:44
Rush:
I’ll email it to you later tonight.

11-13 18:44
HonoluLou:
Mike, I think I looked at that CC at The Opera in my musical tribute on Biggers August Birthday post 2020. I’ll check it.
Rush, TYSM

11-13 18:45
Matt:
brb phone

11-13 18:46
Rush:
Okay!

11-13 18:46
Rush:
I will wait till Matt returns to start the Green Hornet…


11-13 18:47
HonoluLou:
Mike all I got. From Aug 2020: Samuel Kaylin (1892-1983). His all time music credits (these will include the Chan films) are: Music Department (192), Composer (80), Sound Track (2). Mr. Kaylin composed and/or directed music for more Charlie Chan films than anyone else–21 to be exact. Of note, He was also the music director for six of the Mr. Moto films of the 1930s.

11-13 18:47
Mike in DC:
Flying coffins? Yikes.

11-13 18:48
Mike in DC:
Interesting, Lou. He is the go-to Chan music guy for sure. What does “Music Department” refer to? Was that like being a staff composer or something?

11-13 18:49
Rush:
We should start the serial!
Ready?

11-13 18:49
Mike in DC:
All set here

11-13 18:50
Rush:
20 seconds…
15….

11-13 18:50
HonoluLou:
Mike, that’s from IMDb. I believe it’s like the conductor or lead for those 192 films, but not necessarily composer.

11-13 18:50
Rush:
10…
5…
GO!!!

11-13 18:50
Mike in DC:
Ah gotcha. Bumblebee music for the Hornet….

11-13 18:51
HonoluLou:
Ah, that mask is so scaryQ!

11-13 18:51
Rush:
Yep!

11-13 18:52
Louise:
Hello Chan friends

11-13 18:53

11-13 18:54

11-13 18:54
HonoluLou:
Ah, what medium, Louise?

11-13 18:54
Rush:
A real “crack-up”!

11-13 18:54
Louise:
we are designing pop-up books

11-13 18:55
Rush:
On the serial.

11-13 18:55
Mike in DC:
He’s going to need a new airplane

11-13 18:55
Rush:
NICE, Louise!

11-13 18:55
HonoluLou:
Wow! Sounds really neat!

11-13 18:55
Rush:
And, I would imagine your work will include COMPLEX pop-ups!

11-13 18:55
Louise:
turns out the paper engineering is really hard

11-13 18:56
Rush:
I can imagine!

11-13 18:56
Mike in DC:
I often wondered who designed those things

11-13 18:56
HonoluLou:
A Charlie Chan pop up book…HaHa!

11-13 18:56
Matt:
Yes Lou!

11-13 18:56
Rush:
Another crash!

11-13 18:56
Louise:
I love the idea of a Chan one!

11-13 18:56
HonoluLou:
Well, I was kidding, but….

11-13 18:57
Rush:
Yes, Louise!

11-13 18:57
HonoluLou:
So Oland or Toler?

11-13 18:57
Mike in DC:
The pop-up Jimmy could be funny

11-13 18:57
Matt:
Sounds like a “scoop” for our newslwtter?

11-13 18:57
Louise:
so off to work and see you all soon

11-13 18:57
Mike in DC:
Have fun, Louise

11-13 18:57
Matt:

11-13 18:59
Rush:

11-13 19:00
HonoluLou:
I want one of those badges…The Green Hornet!

11-13 19:00
Rush:
YES!

11-13 19:01
HonoluLou:

11-13 19:01

11-13 19:12

The only time I had a course of PT, after shoulder surgery, I became convinced they are sadists

11-13 19:12
hounder:
how cool your aunt has a floor loom

11-13 19:12
Mike in DC:
Boom. Hope we don’t have barbecued Hornet on the menu

11-13 19:12

Matt:
Cued here

11-13 19:13
HonoluLou:
GS, I had back issue and went to therapy and it got worse. So I search youtube and found some yoga that did more than the physical therapists.

11-13 19:13
Godwinshelley:
I’m cued

11-13 19:13

11-13 19:14

11-13 19:14

11-13 19:15
Matt:
lol

11-13 19:16
Mike in DC:
Maybe he’s a Chan fan too?

11-13 19:16
Rush:
For this year’s Charlie Chan Family Newsletter, Tenman.
Lou is the editor.

11-13 19:16
Mike in DC:
Ah, docks. The…Docks of New Orleans

11-13 19:16
tenman:
Ah. Thanks!

11-13 19:16
Rush:
We saw this set in “The Chinese Ring.”

11-13 19:16
Matt:
Familar set

11-13 19:17
Rush:
Yes!

11-13 19:17
Rich_Maine:
usual dock warehouse

11-13 19:17
Mike in DC:
Probably the only one Monogram had…

11-13 19:17
Rush:
It’s the dockside loading port of the cargo ship.

11-13 19:17
Rich_Maine:
had horses last week

11-13 19:17
Rush:


11-13 19:18
tenman:
Was there a person who looked through the scripts and altered them based on availaility of sets/props, etc., for the monograms?

11-13 19:18
Rush:
Very probabably, Tenman!

11-13 19:18
Rich_Maine:
Malibu Trap star!

11-13 19:18
Dona:
lol

11-13 19:19
Rush:
BB uses some “incomplete talk” here!

11-13 19:19
Matt:
BB!

11-13 19:19
Rich_Maine:
same CC house too !

11-13 19:19
tenman:
He’s more amusing than usual in this one

11-13 19:20
Rush:
In this film, Chan and company are temporary residents of New Orleans.

11-13 19:20
Rich_Maine:
dont go near the window!

11-13 19:20
Rush:
NEVER!


11-13 19:21
Rich_Maine:
But same house as in SF Rush

11-13 19:22
Rush:
Maybe Charlie Chan loves to rent similar residences!

In other words…same set!

11-13 19:22
Dona:
lol

11-13 19:22
Rich_Maine:
he shouldnt rent ground floor though

11-13 19:22
Dona:
That would be wise

11-13 19:23
Rush:
Yes!

11-13 19:23
Rich_Maine:
so why is BB so hot to investigate?

11-13 19:24
hounder:
good question rich

11-13 19:25
Rush:
I apologize for a scheduling blunder on my part…but we are watching a film that we saw a few weeks ago…sorry! Still…we can watch it or we can substitute one right now!
Sorry, everyone!

11-13 19:26
Mike in DC:
…I thought this was sounding familiar…

11-13 19:26
Rush:
The mistake was made last year as I scurried to make the calendars for what was to be our new site!

11-13 19:26
Rich_Maine:
its fine Rush, ur allowed! we can watch this one

11-13 19:26
Matt:
I was away, so it doesn’t really matter to me

11-13 19:26
tenman:
np

11-13 19:26
Mike in DC:
I’m ok with another trip to the docks

11-13 19:27
Godwinshelley:
We could drop the Wong version of this to make up?

11-13 19:27
hounder:
doesn’t matter to me either

11-13 19:27
Rush:
We can quickly switch to “The Shanghai Chest”?

11-13 19:27
Mike in DC:
Shanghai Chest is right here for me.

11-13 19:27
Rush:
What is the concensus?

11-13 19:27
Godwinshelley:
You mean now?

11-13 19:28
tenman:
I’m fine either way so will go with the majority

11-13 19:28
Rush:
If you like.

11-13 19:28
Godwinshelley:
I guess I could if everyone else wants to

11-13 19:28
Matt:
We’re already rolling

11-13 19:28
Rush:
We can stick with this one if desired….

11-13 19:28
Rich_Maine:
fine with staying, 15 mins in already

11-13 19:28
Mike in DC:
I’d say let’s stay where we are…

11-13 19:29
Godwinshelley:
Yeah sticking is fine

11-13 19:29
Rush:
Okay!

11-13 19:30
Mike in DC:
Besides, this is as much about the fellowship as any particular movie…

11-13 19:30
Rush:
This isn’t too bad, as we will be watching “Mr. Wong, Detective in two weeks and we can compare the films!

11-13 19:30
tenman:
lemme know when you mget tot he doc handing the autopsy report to the detective. I’m afradi I got a little ahead when I stopped and backed to sverify the movie as it did, indeed, seem familiar

11-13 19:30
hounder:
i’m ready for either

11-13 19:30
Rush:
We will stick with this one.

11-13 19:31
Mike in DC:
Two weeks…isn’t Karloff’s birthday around this time of year?

11-13 19:31
Rush:
maybe it was “meant to be.”

11-13 19:31
Rich_Maine:
correct Mike! after all, there arent any new ones

11-13 19:31
Rush:
Yes!
And the karloff movie is the one that provided the story for this one.

11-13 19:31
Mike in DC:
Charlie missed a prime moment for a Black Camel reference

11-13 19:32
Rush:
We can compare with fresher mwmories!
Memories!
Yes, Mike!

11-13 19:32
Godwinshelley:
Mike yes Karloff 11/23/1887

11-13 19:34
Rush:
Yes!

11-13 19:34
hounder:

11-13 19:35
Rush:
Yes….proceed with this film….

11-13 19:35
hounder:

11-13 19:37
hounder:

11-13 19:37
Mike in DC:
There’s a first time for everything, Rush.

11-13 19:38
Rush:
Hopefully not a repeat for a LONG time!


11-13 19:38
Godwinshelley:
Until there are some NEW Chan films

11-13 19:38
Rich_Maine:
congratulations Rush! great work

11-13 19:38
Rush:
Sheesh!

11-13 19:39
Mike in DC:
We just have to be careful…too many more and we can’t make an annual lap through them.

11-13 19:40
Rush:
We should have had”The New Adventures” one more time this year.
Yes, Mike!

11-13 19:40
Rich_Maine:
Mobile Jones!

11-13 19:43
Rich_Maine:
Yummy ash!

11-13 19:43
Mike in DC:
Blech

11-13 19:43
hounder:
you make so few schedule mistakes i’m sure we can let this 1 slide.

11-13 19:43
Mike in DC:
the chop suey boogie…one of the great moments in cinema

11-13 19:44
Rush:
Well…we DID get to hear the “Chop Suey Boogie” again! I guess that’s a “bonus”!
Yes, Mike!

11-13 19:44
Mike in DC:
Definitely a bonus, Rush!

11-13 19:45
Rush:


11-13 19:45
Rich_Maine:
bonus track includes Pago Pago

11-13 19:45
Mike in DC:
Lee had the talent for drawing, apparently Jimmy is the musical one

11-13 19:45
Rush:
Yes.

11-13 19:45
Mike in DC:
Aiiieeeeeee

11-13 19:46
Rich_Maine:
hat alert

11-13 19:46
tenman:
“Countess Animal”?

11-13 19:46
Dona:
the top is missing

11-13 19:46
Rush:
Chips and dip, anyone?

11-13 19:46
Dona:
yes

11-13 19:47
Mike in DC:
Great had for picnics, Rush

11-13 19:47
Rush:
Yes!
Quite handy!

11-13 19:48
Rush:
I think thst last year we had two films out of the correct sequence.
This year, an :accidental encore.”

11-13 19:48
tenman:
We may have to conside docking your pay!

11-13 19:48
Rich_Maine:
so what do these cogs run you?

11-13 19:49
Rush:
Yes.
Cogs?

11-13 19:50
Rush:
DON’T turn on the radio!!!!

11-13 19:51
Rich_Maine:
oops cigs

11-13 19:51
Rush:
When we watch the Karloff version, we will see some interesting similarities, and….DIFFERENCES!

11-13 19:51
Rush:
TYSM, Rich!
I thought I was missing some meaning I was supposed to get!

11-13 19:53
Mike in DC:
Is the butler also in Castle in the Desert?

11-13 19:53
Rush:
While we have the time, if anyone is interested in writing something of interest for the 2024 issue of the CCF Newsletter, you can do so and send it to Lou.

11-13 19:53
Mike in DC:
Voice sounds the same…

11-13 19:53
Rich_Maine:
he could be Mike

11-13 19:54
Rush:
Also, I have begun the first part of a possible Charlie chan group constrructed script, if anyone is interested in contributing to that.

11-13 19:54
tenman:
Yes!

11-13 19:54
Rush:
The working title is “Death on Punchbowl Hill.”

11-13 19:55
Godwinshelley:
I’d love a “Merry Christmas Mr Birmingham” story

11-13 19:55
Godwinshelley:
Isn
Isn’t that a little TOO close to Charlie’s home

11-13 19:56
Godwinshelley:
is this with wife and 14 children

11-13 19:56
Rush:
Charlie Chan is out of town, and there is a murder literally at the dorstep of the Chan home on Punchbowl Hill. Birmingham Brown is a guest of the Chans, and two daughters, Frances and Iris are eager to =solve this case.

11-13 19:56
Godwinshelley:
Ah – does sound promising indeed

11-13 19:57
Matt:
Interesting Rush!

11-13 19:57
Godwinshelley:
I hope Mrs Chan solves the case by knowing something important about ingredients or something

11-13 19:58
Godwinshelley:
The way Charlie always knows about poisons

11-13 19:58
Rush:
So, I can send it to GS and you can take a look and make any changes and continue it. I am putting together about ten pages worth of script (including directions for each scene: “CLOSE SHOT,” FULL SHOT,” etc….
GS cn be the “Director”.

11-13 19:58
Godwinshelley:
I’d give it a look if you like

11-13 19:59
Rush:
I can be “continuity” and unify everything…

11-13 20:00
Rush:
Anyway…if you want to see what things can look like, you can take a look at our past work: “Charlie Chan at College.”

11-13 20:01
tenman:
Where wold I find that?

11-13 20:05
Rush:
Sorry!
Computer issue!
I will get the address….

11-13 20:07
Godwinshelley:
Louise would be a good one on the story – if it had anything to do with native artifacts

11-13 20:08
Rush:
Anything could be added, GS!

11-13 20:08
Rich_Maine:
forget the parables…..

11-13 20:08
Rush:
I need to access the script and create a link….sorry….

11-13 20:09
Godwinshelley:
Do we go to one site for everyone to access and change – or is it emailed around and added to then sent on?

11-13 20:11
Rich_Maine:
the countdown begins

11-13 20:13
Rush:
Here is the link to “Charlie Chan at College”…

11-13 20:13
Mike in DC:
cough

11-13 20:13
tenman:
Thanks!

11-13 20:13
Mike in DC:
wheeze

11-13 20:13
Rush:
It was made way back in 2002!

11-13 20:14
Rich_Maine:
who had beans for dinner?

11-13 20:14
Rush:
We had started another…”Charlie Chan’s Toughest Case” but it was never completed.

11-13 20:14
Godwinshelley:
Too Tough

11-13 20:15
Rush:
“Charlie Chan’s Toughest case”….

11-13 20:15
tenman:
Can that one be accessed also?

11-13 20:16
Rush:
So, there you have it!

11-13 20:16
Rush:
We can add some illistrations to the script.

11-13 20:17
tenman:
Thanks! Will check it out

11-13 20:17
Rush:
If we can have five or six of us work in the script, it would be good.
mainly: have fun!

11-13 20:18
Rush:
We take turns penning portions of the script.
I can add the directions if you like, and you can focus on the story line!

11-13 20:19
Rush:
THE END…AGAIN!!!!

11-13 20:19
