Godwinshelley2: How many Chan films start Dockside

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Great, boxing to start.

Rush: A couple…plus a Wong!

Rush: How did the National Anthym go, Mike?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: The Oronoco was fueled by Conoco and owned by Rococo.

Mike n Rachel in DC: very successful, Rush. US Army chorus

Rush: And Baroque is the president of that company….

mda19083: is a tramp steamer anything like a tramp stamp?

Rush: And..yes, he IS just that!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: You can’t steam off a trampstamp, we know that.

mda19083: perry white

mda19083: MnR šŸ™‚

Rush: Yes!

Mike n Rachel in DC: A little money…but a priceless souvenir

Rush: Boris karloff…

Godwinshelley2: Interesting Fireplace

Rush: And our old friend, Lee Tung Foo.

Mike n Rachel in DC: He could have just asked Clark Kent to help him out…

Rush: Yes, it is interesting!

Rush: Mike: šŸ™‚

Rush: Karloff is pretty convincing.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: SAME YEAR as this film, Karloff did a LEGENDARY, MEDAL-WORTH job of OVERACTING for Arch Oboler: anybody ever hear “Cat Wife”, a Lights Out play? One of the greatest of all time, say we here.

Godwinshelley2: Is that a fancy fireplace screen – or maybe an insert inside

Len Freeman: A nice series

Rush: Yes.

Rush: A DECO design.

Godwinshelley2: Ugh – I must say “Cat Wife” is one of my least favorite radio ventures by Boris

Godwinshelley2: Yes Rush

mda19083: a mind is a terrible thing to lose

Rush: šŸ™‚

Mike n Rachel in DC: Bad guys are everywhere!

Rush: A taste of fog outside the door.

Rush: There’s tonight’s Monogram Fog.

Godwinshelley2: Yikes – did she just eat at a lobster restaurant?

Godwinshelley2: And forget to take off her bib?

Rush: šŸ™‚

Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel spit out some of her drink when that dress appeared.

Rush: šŸ™‚

Rush: I can imagine!

Rush: Interesting “business attire.”

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: The cigarette is a master bit. I see Karloff as the Chou En-Lai of pre-Marflboro Country.

mda19083: the “sanity” claus

Len Freeman: a tontine…

Mike n Rachel in DC: It’s the new “meringue” look.

Rush: Note the European style cigarette “grip” bt Wong.

Rush: The fatal contract.

Len Freeman: last survivor gets it all\

Godwinshelley2: There ain’t no such thing as Santa Claus

Rush: Yes, Len!

johnr: Do people really smoke that way?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Survbiving principals? Like Oscgood Conklin, Symour Skinner, and Principal Poop?

Godwinshelley2: It’s a Tantine?

mda19083: a nice long toke

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: john, that was before they fell into the crack.

Rush: I know it was something of a “continental” style, John.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Yes, very elegant.

johnr: Looks awkward

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: NICE LAMP!!

Rush: I guess it was a bit awkward!

Len Freeman: someone usually gets killed about now…

Godwinshelley2: Why didn’t he go to a lawyer instead of grandstanding in the office

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Bill Gates does this every day.

Rush: šŸ™‚

Mike n Rachel in DC: Street speaking. Avenue on line one.

mda19083: i am having deja vu – or vuja de

Rush: Twitter meeting here…

johnr: Had to follow the script!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Avenue is circling the drive, hoping for a cul-de-sac,

Godwinshelley2: A friend talked about seeing her Father’s office when she was quite little and it had tons of telephones! She found out later he was a bookie

Rush: AH!

Rush: “I want my Maypo.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: lol, GS. Then she saw her dad’s next office. It had lots of bars…

PaulM has joined this room

Godwinshelley2: Hello Paul

Rush: yes, mike!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hi Paul!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Dayton’s in Cincinnati.

Rush: Paul!

Rush: WELCOME!

Len Freeman: mascot studio front gate had many uses

mda19083: maybe she is wearing the bib so she doesn’t dribble the formula

Matt1: <tin can>

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Celestial Cincinnati.

Matt1: Hello Paul!

PaulM: hi GS….hi gang. im back out in Mesa with mom for the rest of the year

Rush

mda19083: uh oh

Godwinshelley2: Nice – so you will get to enjoy the holidays with your Mom!!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Best wishes to you both, Paul.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: That’s a gold medal flower on Wong.

mda19083: no you don’t

PaulM: mom has recovered very well, but we still have to get her back to driving the car

Rush: Great to be able to be with your mom, Paul!

Godwinshelley2: Yes – mobility is so important for independance

Rush: You should have plenty of good weather in Mesa for driving, Paul.

PaulM: my sis beat cancer and will be coming for Thanksgiving.

Rush: Absolutely, GS!

Godwinshelley2: That will be so nice indeed Paul

hounder: yay paul!

Mike n Rachel in DC: What a wonderful holiday, Paul!

Rush: It’s greatt hat you are able to be with her!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Paul, make sure she knows that CC is NOT to be emulated behind the wheel—and, says the Commonwealth of Virginia, not me either.

Len Freeman: so much for office managers

Godwinshelley2: So – Is Wongs hair a toupee or slicked down Karloff hair?

Rush: Yes, Angel!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Our Rexall pharmacist!! Gota penny, y’all?\

Rush: Mr. Simpkins.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Heavy on the Mg

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: I have some potash.

Rush: The formula…

Godwinshelley2: Where is this lab? It’s not the police lab. Maybe a University?

mda19083: did he say pot ash or potash?

Rush: Potlatch.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Don’t inhale by mistake…

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: mda, we’re too buzzed to hear wordspaces.

mda19083: šŸ™‚

Rush: Interesting…

Godwinshelley2: Why do you even have to answer their stupid questions? This seems unprofessional

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: GS, there must be some higher plan.

mda19083: the spanish inquisition

Rush: Checking to see if he’s nuts.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Unexpectedly, to be sure.

Mike n Rachel in DC: no one expects the spanish inquisition

mda19083: šŸ™‚

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Buncha jokahs.

Godwinshelley2: Then it should be medical professionals – not police

mda19083: me go for the low hanging fruit

mda19083: we

Rush: Yes.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: The gun was a Colt.

Godwinshelley2: With that bib on the dress – I would expect white cuffs on that coat

Number 1 Son has left this room

Number 1 Son has joined this room

Rush: I would concur…

Rush: We settle for a pair of white gloves.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Or the Wong hand.

mda19083: his other left

Rush: WB, Number One Son!

johnr: That dress is a bit much!

mda19083: tetragene?

Rush: Maybe!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: mda: certainly seems possible!

johnr: Good stuff!

mda19083: I brought my aunty dote

Godwinshelley2: And the hat is a bit indescribable

Rush: MDA: šŸ™‚

Len Freeman: Grant Withers plays the buffoon cop wonderfully

Rush: Yes, Len!

mda19083: buffoon cop – is that an oxymoron

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Ask your doctor if Tetragene is right for you. Discontinue in event of oily stools, and get another doctor.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: OBviously.

mda19083: šŸ™‚

Rush: Well, if someone’s breaking into my home at 3 AM…I will happily call any “bufoon”!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Her tongue could cut bricks.

mda19083: are carnations back in style

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Certainly should be.

Rush: Never out of style?

mda19083: monkey business

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: They look like buffoons.

mda19083: the light bulb hasn’t gone on yet

Rush: “Where were you on October the 5th, 1935???”

Godwinshelley2: These days – it’s alot to ask folks to wear pants for Zoom meetings – let alone lapel flowers

Mike n Rachel in DC: The scrub woman did it!

Rush: True, GS!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: She’s no fun, they’ll fall right over/.

Rush: Part of the “bubble” culture we are experiencing!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Lawrence Welk was the apothegem of Bubble Culture.

Godwinshelley2: I’d love the hair-slick’m concession for this film

mda19083: dope it out is right

Rush: True, Angel…

Rush: Yes, MDA!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: GS, there were many oily stools on the set after filming finished.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Had to be careful not to get too much glare from the lights on their hair

mda19083: anna one anna two …

Len Freeman: a poor man’s George Raft

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: And very careful when she’s not clever.

Rush: Yes, Mike!

Godwinshelley2: The hat bands must have been a mess from all the hair grease

Rush: Goose grease.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Isn’t cochina bark what they use to make tonic water?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: A glass-globe menagerie.

Rush: Interesting “knob” hat.

mda19083: a dead body perhaps

Rush: Cochina bark!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: WOOF!

Rush: šŸ™‚

Rush: Yes…the sound a cochina dog makes…

johnr: Isn’t that where quinine comes from?

Rush: Bavaria?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Rush, our (Fpox & self) impersonations are cheered by audiences on either side of the Atlantic when wwe go to the other side.

Rush: “This is his explosives workshop…”

mda19083: he was born in a hospital .. he wanted to be close to his mother

Rush: šŸ™‚

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: JHe’s crazy as a hoot-loon!

Mike n Rachel in DC: erhu

johnr: urp!

mda19083: lee tong foo

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: A Kyoto koto, from House of Moto!

Rush: Wong’s parrot may set off the glass globe?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: And become an ex-parrot, cheep.

Rush: “Note…globe does not appreciate my music…no reaction…”

Mike n Rachel in DC: That was some killer music

Godwinshelley2: Mike – is it just the pitch/tone of the note that breaks the glass – would it matter what actually makes the note?

hounder: ..

Rush: So, a skwauk sets it off!

Mike n Rachel in DC: No, GS. It’s just the frequency of the note…

Rush: The parrot nailed it!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: He’s easily honored. A swell of easy virtue.

Godwinshelley2: Double fox stole

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Dop you think there’s room in it for all of us?

Rush: The “Countess.”

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: NO FRILLS.

Rush: Herr Baron.

Rush: (CLICK!)

Len Freeman: Wong is always the gentleman

Rush: Yes!

johnr: The baron has a really bubbling personality

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: KEE-RASH!

Rush: And Karloff plays the role perfectly, IMHO.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: john: it IS the age of The bUBBLE.

Godwinshelley2: I’m biased – and I think he always does

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: CARL REINER?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Gentlemen, we have to protect our phony-baloney jobs!

Rush: Drat! Didn’t work…sorry!

Rushhttps://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcShAwKRa2fglr6P9FDGXefFwCO7bnpAC5HYnA&usqp=CAU

Godwinshelley2: There are three of his movies I would re-cast him in: The Black Cat – switch the Lugosi & Karloff roles – The Invisible Ray – again swap Lugosi and Karloff roles – and Black Friday – make Karloff the doctor.

Rush: Oh, well…

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: What a prevaricator.

mda19083: i didn”t get a harumph outa that guy

johnr:wizard:

Godwinshelley2: MDA – a Brooks fan!!’

Rush: I liked “The Invisible Ray.”

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: mda: :-D :-D :-D

Rush: I felt so sorry for him in that one!

Rush: I first saw it as a kid.

Godwinshelley2: I do too but Lugosi seems so ill-suited to the sympathtic roll – like when he is holding that baby – at arms length

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: High anxiety in this one too!

Mike n Rachel in DC: The Invisible Ray is awesome!

mda19083: beat it – its the cops

Rush: That is so, GS…yes.

Len Freeman has left this room

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Everybody in the 1930s needed brake work.

mda19083: buffoon and company

Rush: They still used wood in those days, Angel!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Uh-oh.

Rush: I sense a POP coming!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: I see a tin can soon!

Matt1: <tin can>

Mike n Rachel in DC: Nice lid, Rush. That’s a classy can.

johnr: What’s the story with the tin can?

Rush: What would the Good Humor Man know about corpses?

Rush: Ah…glad you asked!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: So round,so firm, so fully packed with botulin.

Rush: Back in the day, we had a Chat Room that had sound effects available.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: He seems bitter.

PaulM has left this room

Rush: There was no “bucket” sound, but there WAS a tincan sound!

johnr: I remember!

Rush: So…

Rush: we used that sound to signal someone dying in a chan film!

johnr: OK

Rush: When that Chat room went to Chat Room Heaven, we went to this present one.

Rush: No sound effects, sadly…so…Matt took to typing “Tin Can” at every death.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Well,ain’t you THPETHIAL.

Mike n Rachel in DC: We are in Chat Room Purgatory…

Rush: I thought we could add a visual…a can image to the mix!

johnr: I see! Thanks

Rush: So, there you have it!

mda19083: ah … for the ol days

mda19083: old

Len Freeman: poor Carl…

Rush: We will be moving next year to a new address (charliechan.org) and we will need a new Chat Room. i hope that we can find one with sounds again!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Wong has that hidden-hand, backgroundy style.

Matt1: That would be fun Rush

Rush: We shall see, Matt!

hounder: …

Mike n Rachel in DC: Dream chat room: One that has sounds and that can screen the evenings movie

mda19083: we’re goin from a .inf to a .org?

Rush: If anyone can track down a suitable Chat Room, that would be a GREAT help in the process! i am presently consumed with transferring as much content from this sit as possible over to the new one!

mda19083: .info

mda19083: we’re movin on up

Rush: WordPress offered a .org as part of the deal.

Godwinshelley2: lack of background music

Matt1: Offical!

Rush: I think we can keep the .info active, too.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Will prowl for chat room options.

Rush: If pay we must for the next Chat room, pay it will be.

Rush: That was the case with the old “parachat” room.

johnr: I’m in

Matt1: ditto!

Rush: It shouldn’t be too much.

Godwinshelley2: yes

Mike n Rachel in DC: What is mere money when we’re talking about a Chan chat, after all?

Rush: But…TYSM!

Rush: AH!

Rush: True, Mike!

Matt1: Throw in a “lost” Chan and it’s a win-win

Rush: Oh…YES!!

Rush: The best we can offer are the “lost” Chan film scrpts with illustrations.

Rush: Almost matching hats!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Her hat matches his hair.

hounder: sorry i’m not in much. mom is chatty tonight,

Godwinshelley2: are the scripts under copyright?

mda19083: šŸ™‚

Rush: Hounder…that’s fine! Mom comes first!

johnr: WOW to dine with a countess!

Rush: Yes.

Rush: So, does this story tonight seem a bit “familiar”?

hounder: she has so few chatty days now. not necessarily coherent, but chatty.

Len Freeman: Paying will be OK

Rush: TY, Len…

Rush: we shall see…

johnr: *I’m getting that way. God bless your mom!

Rush: Sort of looks like George Raft.

Godwinshelley2: There seem to be books that are reprints of films scripts – how do they deal with copyright

Rush: The Venetian blind shadows of monogram…

Rush: They may have worked a deal with Fox.

Godwinshelley2: These were Universal film scripts – Bride of Frankenstein, Mummy, Calistro (unproduced), etc

Mike n Rachel in DC: I suppose you could get a copyright license.

Rush: There are a few “homemade” books floating around that used the scripts at this site!

Rush: Not a cent of profit is being made by us.

Rush: That was never the point.

mda19083: pierce arrow?

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: We were toad away. We miss any suspicious characters?

Matt1: Just a “wealth” of knowledge

Rush: Hopefully….

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Lotta dark dark scenes in this one!

Rush: Yes!

Matt1: <tin can>

Rush: Nearly “film noir”

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Blackandwhitesploitation.

Rush: I think you are ahead of me, Matt!

Len Freeman: liar, liar pants on fire…

Rush: šŸ™‚

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: And crack the little glass globes.

Godwinshelley2: Magicimage produces these books for Gregory Mank – the universal scripts anyways

Rushhttps://st1.chatovod.com/global/i/p.gif

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: More tea. And see.

mda19083: some date!

Rush: HM! it chooses not to work…sorry!

johnr: I love the cars in these old films! The new ones are all plastic and sissified!

Rush: “Imaging a tin can…”

Rush: John…I agree.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Yeah, but I hear that Packards had lousy bluetooth

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: We’re going to grease / and swin the English channel.

Rush: It was so nice when one could tell the make of a car by its look!

hounder: imagine a tin can ( in rod sterling’s voice) ounds like the beginining of a twilight zone show

Rush: Not much today!

johnr: I’m not even sure what that is

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Those, Rush, were the days.

Rush: Hounder: šŸ™‚

Mike n Rachel in DC: DO sit down…

Rushhttps://st1.chatovod.com/global/i/p.gif

johnr: And you could change your own plugs!

Rush: The parrot is at it!

Rush: Wong knows.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: That guy oughta take a pill.

Rush: Compare these scenes to the Chan version!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Wong has a more commanding presence than Chan in this scene

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Speak for yourself.

Rush: A dove cooed…

Len Freeman: the smooth intellectual

Rush: Yes.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: [MnR: we were addressing the impertinent bystander in the room, NOT YOUSE]

Rush: Chan had that line, also…

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Wong does the Dipsy Doodle.

Rush: Chan only had two minutes, I think….

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Now, THAT’S a RUSE!

Rush: True…

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: NOW they turn the dimer switch up.

Rush: OOPS!

Rush: The same tactic Chan used…

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: All this malarkey isn’t puttin’ anybody in JAIL! We gotta get that electric tyhingamajig back!

Rush: I would give the award to Karloff over Winters in this scene….

johnr: More deadly than a brussels-sprout fart!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Karloff ruled all.

Rush: Yes, Angel.

Len Freeman: a superior actor

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: john, those Belgians always waffle.

Rush: šŸ™‚

johnr: He was a genius

johnr: Which was the Chan version?

Rush: Wong sets a trap here…

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: But it’s STILL possible he didn’t NOT kill himself, innit?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Would love to see this at the trial

Rush: AH!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: We want a box o’ those glass globes over here. Holiday entertainments are coming.

Mike n Rachel in DC: LTF gets the last word. šŸ™‚

johnr: Was that the one with the remote controlled radio?

Rush: Good tree decorations!

mda19083: LTF is the best!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Just make sure there are no cops coming over, Rush.

Rush: The siren!

Rush: Right on cue.

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: Lipton’s gonna have to put on a third shift!!

Mr.Fox+Angel,Defectives: What a delightful entry!

Rush: Next week…

Rush: “The Shanghai Chest”
