ALOHA!!!

Welcome!

11-17 18:51

Hawaii_Steve:

Hi guys.  How’z it?

11-17 18:51

Rush:

Great!  And how are things in Paradise?

11-17 18:52

Matt:

All is well, thx…..Yourself?

11-17 18:52

Hawaii_Steve:

Hot and humid.

11-17 18:52

Rush:

yes?

11-17 18:52

Hawaii_Steve:

But no snow.

11-17 18:52

Rush:

No, none of that stuff on Oahu!

11-17 18:53

Rush:

It’s only a matter of time for us in my region!

11-17 18:54

Hawaii_Steve:

I drop in to share with you that I have begun documenting the false statements said about the films of Charlie Chan, the players, the articles, the books, etc.

11-17 18:54

Rush:

We had a nice weekend, nut it’s starting to get chilly today.

Yes?

11-17 18:55

Hawaii_Steve:

Last night, I did a little research on the last years of Warner Oland.  I discovered that this man, as beloved as he is, truly had a messed up life.

11-17 18:56

Rush:

Well, we know some of his issues.

11-17 18:56

Matt:

As documented during Race Track

11-17 18:58

Hawaii_Steve:

I discovered that Mr. Oland was a full-fledged alcoholic.  Interviews with Keye Luke (“showed up lit up on the set”) and studio records support this fact.

11-17 18:59

Hawaii_Steve:

In the Study of this site, I read a detailed description of Oland’s life by Steve Rhodes (2003).  Very well written and documented.

11-17 19:00

Rush:

Yes, I remember Steve Rhodes…from Australia.

He lives in China now!

15 minutes till showtime…

11-17 19:01

Mike in DC:

Good evening all!

11-17 19:01

Hawaii_Steve:

Long before “Race Track,” Oland had a drinking problem.  Mr. Rhodes documented Mr. Oland’s marriage and home life.  They slept in separate bedrooms.  But so did Lucille Ball and second husband Gary Morton.

11-17 19:01

Rush:

he was very active here years ago, then he suddenly stopped.  i believe that someone upset him somehow.

11-17 19:02

Matt:

Hello Mike!

11-17 19:02

Rush:

I would be interested to find where Mr. Rhodes unearthed all of his information.

Good evening, Mike!

WELCOME!

11-17 19:02

Mike in DC:

Good to see y’all.   Aloha Steve!

11-17 19:04

Rush:

How is rachel doing?

11-17 19:04

Mike in DC:

She’s doing well.  Working on the dissertation this evening.  

11-17 19:04

Hawaii_Steve:

Given the personalities of “the family,” I can understand that.  Regardless, Mr. Rhodes wrote a detailed description of the Oland family and what happened after Warner died.  Everybody came out of the woodwork and wanted a piece of his estate.  Real vultures.

11-17 19:05

Rush:

That is sad, Steve.  Was it a lot of family from Sweden?

11-17 19:06

Rush:

9 minutes…

11-17 19:06

Hawaii_Steve:

No.  The U.S. family on the east coast.  His brother, the caretaker provided by TCF, and Oland’s attorney.  Mrs. Oland fought them all, and lost.

11-17 19:07

Rush:

Families can become very…greedy…regarding the estates of their deceased.

11-17 19:07

Hawaii_Steve:

Yes, I am personally well aware of the greediness.

11-17 19:07

Rush:

Yes.

Unfortunately, that happens a lot.

11-17 19:08

Matt:

Hello Hounder!

11-17 19:08

Rush:

Hounder!

Good evening to you!

11-17 19:08

Mike in DC:

Good evening to YOU too!

11-17 19:09

hounder:

hi everyone

11-17 19:09

Rush:

I hope that you both hd wonderful weeks.

11-17 19:09

Nothere:

Hey all. And don’t worry. To get a part of my estate you just have to spendd two nights at the haunted mansion where the murders occured. No biggie,.

11-17 19:09

Hawaii_Steve:

Conclusion of my Oland research.  Warner was his own worst enemy.  Granting interviews to the press as Charlie Chan, and not himself.  Unable to accept the marriage was over.  Nobody helped him with his drinking problem.  And he smoked too much.  But that were that generation and a reflection of the times.

11-17 19:10

Matt:

Hello Rich!

11-17 19:10

Rich in Maine:

11-17 19:10

Hawaii_Steve:

Nothere, been there, done that.  Didn’t receive a coin.

11-17 19:11

Rush:

yes.  In the end, as he died from bronchial pneumonia, it was his heavy smoking that finally caused his death, I am sure.

11-17 19:11

Nothere:

Sadly you can;’t really help with a drinking problem. They either want to get better themselves or they won;’tt

11-17 19:11

Hawaii_Steve:

Rush, you are absolutely correct.

I think that had the series lasted longer, the stories would have improved even more, especially had the plans to shoot some in Europe actually happened.

This reminds me of the “Plan 9” graveyard.

11-17 19:42

Mike in DC:

One of the classic Chan moments:  “Dig.”
