Mike n Rachel in DC: …and he sounds somewhat less Australian…
Rush03: The Polo Cafe
Rush03: Sounds like a nice place!
Rush03: 🙂

Rush03: “OK. Doc!”
Geno Cuddy: Message I get when I attempt to attach link: Your message hasn’t been sent. It’s like a flood. Wait for 20 seconds and change the message text or activate VIP status.
Rush03: AH!
Matt1: Happens to me all the time with the <tin can>
Rush03: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: Is Mrs. Chan Australian????
mda19083: matt – don’t you have VIP status?
Matt1: lol, no
Geno Cuddy: By the way Rush, I’d like to discuss the podcast idea with you further
mda19083: matt – youre ok in my book
Matt1: TYSM, lol
Rush03: Okay.
Rush03: My post was slow…hopefully that won’t continue.
Rush03: Counterfeit bills.
Mike n Rachel in DC: $20 is a popular bill to counterfeit
Rush03: Must be poorly made counterfeits.
Rush03: Yes.
Rush03: Counterfeit COINS, too?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Loving cups into counterfeit coins…a dastardly plot!
Rush03: The best a coun counterfeiter could make with metal would be fake silver dollars!
Geno Cuddy has left this room
Rush03: Would the effort be woth it?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Not nowadays. Better to make some meth in the kitchen.
Rush03: That’s right, Mike!
mda19083: mike 🙂
Rush03: Back to “The Incomparable Charlie Chan”
Rush03: Risky job for Chan’s son!
Matt1: Rush, no Christmas decorating this year on the home page?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Don’t call me Shirley!
Rush03: Right, Matt! Your mention earlier that December sneaked up on us is very appropriate!
Rush03: I will need to do that asap!
Rush03: Hopefully it will still work!
Mike n Rachel in DC: We’re putting up our tree…can hang a few ornaments, Rush
Matt1: I just noticed it today…..It’s always very festive!
Rush03: TYSM, Mike…and rachel!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Sudden thought: are there any holiday-themed Chans? Can’t recall any offhand.
mda19083: 🙂
Rush03: AH!
Rush03: I can’t send images with my “new” name!
Rush03→Rush03: I’ll just type tonight!
sarabell2: Was the tin can for my internet or did someone die on the program? Funny either way.
Mike n Rachel in DC: The Chan Who Knew Too Much. Hitchcock flick.
Rush03: M/R: 🙂
Rush03: A death in the program.
mda19083: Fiery Santa Claus – 1936 radio broadcast
sarabell2: OK, thanks!
Rush03: WFAN
Rush03: That is an error.

Mike n Rachel in DC: “There’s only one Charlie Chan!”
Louise: I was in New York last week for some museum visits
Rush03: Louise, as I have heard nothing back from the site migration people, I would happily accept any thoughts.
Geno Cuddy: Lets try this again, a Roland Winters interview from 1971: https://californiarevealed.org/islandora/object/cavpp%3A23974
Rush03: I am thinking on just going ahead and see what happens?

Rush03: WELCOME to you!
Rush03: Yes?
Rich Maine: Sooooo excited
Rush03: It’s a unique one!
sarabell2: Hi Rich, I do not think I know about this film either.
Louise: Unique is definitely the word for it
Rush03: BOTH sons Numbers One and Two are in it.
Rush03: Yes, louise!
Rich Maine: I had to download after getting the email
Rush03: and there is an interesting fight scene later in the film!
sarabell2 has left this room
Rush03: 6 1/2 minutes to go…
Geno Cuddy: Admittedly, as a pure mystery, FEATHERED SERPENT is quite weak, it was from an old western script after all, but as a film with both Keye Luke and Sen Yung it is more than a worthy viewing
Rush03: Yes, Geno!

Rush03: Music….
Rush03: Hello, DONA!
Rush03: Good evening!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Looks very Aztec
Rich Maine: No fog!
Rush03: yes.
Dona: The music is familar
Rush03: And yes…no fog!
Matt1: Nice BIG font for Keye!
Rush03: Indeed!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Good point, Rich. Must be a low-budget Monogram picture!
Geno Cuddy: I just saw Keye Luke in a Monogram film called LET’S GO COLLEGIATE, one of those Frankie Darro films. It features Darros regular sidekick MANTAN MORELAND. If you also recall, Darro played the crooked jockey in CHARLIE CHAN AT THE RACE TRACK. An interesting film for Chan fans
Mike n Rachel in DC: If I were Sen Young I’d be pissed about the font thing
Rush03: Posada de San pablo.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sielito Lindo
Rush03: Maybe THT’S why he was not in “The Sky Dragon”!
Rush03: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: (sp)
Rush03: Yes, Mike.
Matt1: Was thinking the same thing Rush, lol
Rush03: 🙂
Louise: Everybody in a village know wevrything
Rush03: Yes, Louise!
Louise: everything
Geno Cuddy: I just saw Keye Luke in a Monogram film called LET’S GO COLLEGIATE, one of those Frankie Darro films. It features Darros regular sidekick MANTAN MORELAND. If you also recall, Darro played the crooked jockey in CHARLIE CHAN AT THE RACE TRACK. An interesting film for Chan fans
Rush03: yes!
Louise: Cool info Gene
Rush03: It’s fun to see Chan cast in other films!
mda19083: road trip
Rush03: Looks like they are driving through the stretts of Tijuana circa 1949.
Dona: I will have to look that movie up.
Rush03: Avenida Revolucion?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Tommy/Jimmy’s Spanish needs a little work…
hounder: he not only can’t play, he can’t sing either.
Rush03: A Little work…yes…
Rush03: OUCH!
Matt1: <dog whine>
Rich Maine: Silence
Rush03: Back country near L.A…
Geno Cuddy: I love that about Winters, he retains the warmth of Oland but the acidity of Toler
hounder: could he sing inral life?
Rush03: Palm Springs here?
Rush03: Chattsworh area here?
Rush03: Dona, have you ever see the west San Fernando Valley, near Chatsworth?
Dona: Yes Rush. I have a cousin who lived out there.
Rush03: I think that that’s where the outdoor scenes of this one were shot.
Dona: It looks like it could be that area back then
Louise: #1 son and #2 or #3
Rush03: AND, we can see in some scenes that there was a Santa Ana going on.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie loses track of those early kids…it’s been a while
Rush03: Yes, Mike.
Louise: Santa Ana winds? Brutal.
Rush03: Jimmy (Number Two) became Tommy (also Number two) when the Winters era started.
Dona: I work in Santa Ana. It looks nothing like any of this now. LOL
Mike n Rachel in DC: Never heard of Santa Ana winds…have to google
Rush03: 🙂
Louise: M&R: hold on to your hats
Rush03: Yes, Mike.
Geno Cuddy: cant send
Geno Cuddy: message again
Dona: I lose my voice every time they start blowing. It’s the winds off the dessert.
Rush03: Dry, desert winds come in and that’s the worst time for fires.
Dona: yes this year is very dry
Rush03: BB is “psychic”!
Louise: The Santa Anas are also thought to be earthquake weather or the time all the crazies come out
Dona: there are crazies out here all of the time
Rush03: YES!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Just looked them up. Wow.
mda19083: in the chat room?
Rush03: Yes, Mike!
Mike n Rachel in DC: That’s a given, MDAA
Geno Cuddy: Doesn’t it bother anyone else that once Winters assumed the role of Chan that Sen Yung’s character was renamed Tommy which was the name of Benson Fong’s character in the earlier Monogram Tolers
mda19083: yikes
Rush03: “Heebie-jeebies”
Dona: But next week I will be driving from Fayetteville, NC to Peekskill, NY
mda19083: keep an eye on the harmless ones
Louise: Geno:it always confuses me
Rush03: Are you in the region now, Dona?
Dona: I have never been to those places it should be interesting.
Dona: no i’m at home
Mike n Rachel in DC: The Tommy/Jimmy thing bugs me, Geno. One of the Chan foibles that has become a charming idiosyncrasy.
Geno Cuddy: Its like, okay, Tommy is number two son, but number two son is Jimmy, number three son is Tommy. UGGGH!
Dona: I leave next week on wednesday. My grandson is getting out of the Army, Ft. Bragg, moving to Peekskill, I’m going to help with the move.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Fayettevile? What brings you there Dona? (Mike lived in Durham for many years)
Rush03: Very good, dona!
Rush03: Lights out!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Ah. Just remember it’s pronounced “FED-vul”
Rush03: Question: WHO turned out the lights???
mda19083: who turned out the lights?
Louise: Well that’s inconvenient
Louise: Can?
mda19083: that’s gotta hurt
Matt1: <tin can>
hounder: ..
Rush03: Chan should suggest that an accomplice is inside that room!
Mike n Rachel in DC: 30 years of detecting, and Charlie still gets fooled by the “lights out” trick.
Geno Cuddy: but who in the room has a motive to do so, Rush?
angelsnake+feathered foxx has joined this room
Rich Maine: Yes who killed the lights!
mda19083: angel!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Peekskill!
Dona: Hello Angel
Dona: and Foxx
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hello Angelsnake & FF
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Peekskill??!!!
Rush03: That “lights out” event is in the majority of our films, I believe!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Peekskill?
Rush03: Angel!
Geno Cuddy: its a Chan staple
Dona: I’m going there next week
Rush03: Missed your arrival!
Rush03: WELCOME!
Louise: “I’m not thinking about the money” they all claim
angelsnake+feathered foxx: We JUST arrived! Almost SEVENTY degrees in Boston, out frolicking with friends!
Rush03: Yes, Louise!
Geno Cuddy: Dang, Winters has swag! Love him!
Rich Maine: Yes very warm here today
Louise: Rush: Lights Out my favorite repeated trick
Dona: That warmer than it is here. WoW
mda19083: no frolicking in the chat room
Rush03: louise: 🙂
angelsnake+feathered foxx: What’s the “time”?
Rush03: Too dangerous, MDA, yes.
Godwinshelley2: So what’s our viewing for the rest of the month?
Godwinshelley2: 17:00
Rush03: 17:00
Mike n Rachel in DC: 17:10
hounder: ..
Geno Cuddy: logical to see SKY DRAGON next
Godwinshelley2: 17:15
Rush03: 17:20
Rush03: 17:30
Godwinshelley2: 17:30
angelsnake+feathered foxx: “My name not Phooey, it’s Phoo”, said Chairman Mao?
Rush03: 17:40
Dona: I will bring our movie while i’m back east and hope to be able to drop in.
angelsnake+feathered foxx: You pray games?
Rush03: Very good, dona!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: The Water Pitcher!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: EVELYBODY CLAZY
Rush03: Next week: “The Sky Dragon”
mda19083: close the windows
angelsnake+feathered foxx: I LOVE The Sky Dragon! Tetragene!!
Geno Cuddy: While I love having Keye Luke back it is awkward when you realize he is older than the man playing his father
Rush03: Bad shot!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Not to be outdone by Jimmy’s toss in Panama…
mda19083: yes – tetragene
Rush03: Geno: “Willing suspension of disbelief>”
Louise: Ah, the dart from blowgun is also a familiar weapon
Geno Cuddy: indeed
Rush03: 🙂
mda19083: we got a pigmy arrah
Geno Cuddy: Keye Luke never aged a day after leaving in 1938
Godwinshelley2: Don’t tell the TSA about blow-guns or they will take away all our straws
Rush03: Chan is the most well-dress of the exploration team!
Rush03: Yes, GS!
Rich Maine: As always…dressed to kill
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Pardon, i’m reminded it was Murder Over New Jork that featured T-gene.
Rush03: Yes, Angel!
Geno Cuddy: Is Keye Luke wearing eye makeup?
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Hi Geno!! You get my message on Fbook?
Geno Cuddy: No I did not
Louise: My archaeologist husband’s words of wisdom: everything is underground.
Rush03: Didn’t see, Geno.
mda19083: what’s wrong with eye makeup
Rush03: “La Cucuracha.”
Geno Cuddy: Its just odd as he never wore it at Fox
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Geez, Geno, i’ll check to see if it sent.
Rush03: Listen CLOSELY to the words as Tommy sings ALL the lyrics!
Geno Cuddy: you may have sent it to the wrong account
Rush03: “Mar-i-JUANA que fumar…”
Louise: “DOLPHINS”
Rush03: Cue dolphin.
Rush03: YES!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: In Firesign Theater’s “Police Street”, Harold Hump asks Peggy (Mrs. Officer Random) Koolzip if a local delinquent doesn’t “wear [swallowing a snicker] eye [snicker] makeup”?
Geno Cuddy: Mantan Moreland is effing amazing, uggh, why wasnt he bigger, he should have been a Stooge, I would have watched the Stooges if Moreland was involved
Rush03: The only song Tommy knows!
Rush03: He would have been a lot better than Joe Besser, IMHO!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Black Stooges would have swept the chips from the table!
Geno Cuddy: or curly joe
Godwinshelley2: He starred in films – even in the title – like “Mantan for Mayor”
Geno Cuddy: Angel, thats disgusting
Mike n Rachel in DC: There’s a “spooky” movie with him too.
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Have a taxicab picked up. Bring a forklift.
Rush03: 🙂
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Hold da phone.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel is intrigued by Black Stooges
Rush03: BB and CC are the two most wrongly attired of the party!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: They put the bricks in luBRICation.\
angelsnake+feathered foxx: They coulda had a V-16.
Rush03: MM would have been PERFECT, IMHO. Right height, included!
Geno Cuddy: Winters is so good, why oh why do people hate him, its the nose isnt it
Rush03: Unfortunately, Columbia Pictures would probably not have been willing to take any risks with a black stooge, sadly.
Rush03: But, I admit, I think of the possibility often!
Rush03: Opportunity missed.
Rush03: Santa Ana winds in this scene.
Rush03: To me, this looks like the terrain near to Chatsworth Park.
Geno Cuddy: yes, its also a shame that aside from the two appearances in the Toler Chans, that Moreland and his partner Ben Carter never made movies together
Mike n Rachel in DC: Winters is good, Geno. I think he got stuck with a few less-than-stellar scripts in these later films.
Rush03: Ben carter died too young, also.
Geno Cuddy: Mostly Mr. Wong remakes, hence why Charlkie is based in San Fransisco now
angelsnake+feathered foxx: All the Ben Carter movies were B.C.
angelsnake+feathered foxx: What are chats worth?
Rush03: Also, SF played a part in the Biggers Chan stories at times.
Geno Cuddy: whats that supposed to mean
angelsnake+feathered foxx: A FRASHRIGHT!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: rEAL BUMPERS!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Real bumpers!!
Rush03: They missed the tomb-opener stone.
angelsnake+feathered foxx: FRASIER?
Geno Cuddy: By the way, speaking opf Mr. Wong, has anyone seen the last in the series with Keye Luke, is it any good?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Phantom of Chinatown? It’s ok…but he’s not a great leading man in our opinion.
Rush03: Yes, it’s good, and it is also Keye Luke’s ONLY starring role in a film!
Geno Cuddy: The Wong films are dull, sadly.
Rush03: Sort of a Wong “prequil.”
Godwinshelley2: Karloff is always great to watch
Rush03: he plays a young Mr. Wong.
Geno Cuddy: i think the first movie prequel
Rush03: Yes, GS!
Louise: It takes years to translate hieroglyphs
mda19083: but we only have 25 minutes left
Rush03: Especially if they have never been deciphered before!
Rush03: YESm MDA!
angelsnake+feathered foxx: mda; Louise: Translate faster.
Rush03: Translate fast!
Geno Cuddy: tin can?
Matt1: <tin can>
hounder: lol@angel
Rush03: But if he does, they will kill him! “Take your time!”
angelsnake+feathered foxx: We’ll need at least a kernel CLINK.
mda19083: i can’t go any faster
Rush03: TYSM, Matt…
angelsnake+feathered foxx: mda: are there loweroglyphics?
mda19083: i can’t go any lower
Dona: lol
Louise: Ah Hah! secret police of course
angelsnake+feathered foxx: mda: We’ll get a short order cook.
angelsnake+feathered foxx: These wide-open spaces are all drugs now.
mda19083: good – i am hungry
Geno Cuddy: is this the only Chan movie where the police are competent?
Rush03: Robert LIVINGSTON as Professor STANLEY.
mda19083: i presume
angelsnake+feathered foxx: Oooooof!!
Rich Maine: The eyes!
Rush03: Yes!
Geno Cuddy: he is in the original version of this story RIDERS OF THE WHISTLIONG SKULL.
angelsnake+feathered foxx: The greenscreen or whatever is particularly low-qual here.
Rush03: Yes!
Louise: Sleep is dangerous
