KEYE LUKE: But, somewhere along the line, he managed to absorb a little, you see? So that, I remember when we were making Charlie Chan at the Race Track. He had to lean on the rail and watch these horses go by, see? So, he’d see them coming in, so he’d follow like this (Turning his head), you see? Well, of course, he was a little unsteady, so he’d slide along that thing – like that. (Acting unsteady) So finally, Lucky Humberstone the director says, “Well, I know how to fix it. Come on down here everybody!” you know? So the crowd that was in the stands, you know, got – came down – and he said, “Now, crowd around him and prop him up.” (Chuckling)
KEYE LUKE: See? Crowd around and prop up. So, all right, Poppa was pinched in there, you see? So, now, the thing to do was to get him to look at the horse when it was coming, and he wouldn’t turn, sort of like that (Looking to his left). So he said, “So, what shall I do now?” So he says, “Oh, I know what!” So got a starter’s pistol, and he went down there a little ways, you see (Chuckling), and at a [zoom point], with the horses, he’d fire this –
INTERVIEWER: Bang!
KEYE LUKE: – and Pop would go (Looking to his left, laughing) and he’d follow the horses by! God, it was funny! Oh, we just died! Everybody just died! (Laughing)
