Godwinshelley2: I might be missing our Monday evenings coming up – have to be in Indiana for my Mom & Dad – health issues – might be out there for a few weeks/months while we help them

Rush: AND…we might be able to count J. Carroll Naish who was the hunchback in, I believe, “House of Frankenstein.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh dear. I hope all goes well, GS.

Godwinshelley2: Rush – of course – Naish

Matt1: Best of luck GS….sorry

Rush: Yes, GS…I hope that things go well for your parents.

Mike n Rachel in DC: It’s always fun to trace the careers of these actors in and out of various movies.

Godwinshelley2: As you know the internet does not exist well in the Hoosier Heartlands – so if I can pop in, I will

Rush: Very good.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Look for the Interwebs, GS.

Rush: And, yes, Mike.

Rush: I always enjoy seeing other films with Chan actors in them.

Godwinshelley2: Their library turns off their internet when they close up – you can’t sit in the parking lot and get it

Mike n Rachel in DC: One of my aunts swooned for Lionel Atwill…was always fun to find him popping up in things. And yes, Rush, especially the character actors from the Chans.

Matt1: Ready here for GH

Rush: How about a Starbucks?

Godwinshelley2: HA! No Starbucks ther

Godwinshelley2: That one guy reminds me of Fred MacMurray

Rush: Yes!

Mike n Rachel in DC: The Blue Street Bus Line seems very shady

Rush: “Whippet Bus Lines” (!)

Rush: An obvious take-of on “Greyhound.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: That bus driver was in a Bogart film

Rush: Check his ID!

Mike n Rachel in DC: That Whippet can really run!

Rush: Throw it into low gear!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Saved!

Rush: Hm….VERY suspicious…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Now they have to do real bad-guy stuff

Rush: Yes.

Godwinshelley2: Yeah – I’d get a face full of phone if I tried that

Rush: Me too.

Rush: I guess it’d be worth it, though!

Godwinshelley2: Is that the same road they used in a couple Chan films – the beach one maybe?

Mike n Rachel in DC: He’s resourceful

Rush: Hornetmobile on “quiet” mode.

Mike n Rachel in DC: The Hornet arrives!

Godwinshelley2: Smacked around BUT able to still maintain his snappy Chapeau!!

Godwinshelley2: He looks like Fred Murtez to me

Godwinshelley2: Is that France in the background

Louise: Heroic is a nice word

Mike n Rachel in DC: Ho hi, Angel (& fox)

Rush: Paris.

Godwinshelley2: Oh I see it was that place

angel & fox: Hey Notty! Been trying to log in 10 mins or more…

Rush: All that we see is the same basically today in those shots.

Nothere: With that tower? It’s either Paris or Tokyo.

Louise: Oh I miss our airplane sound effects

Godwinshelley2: No Audible dialog – subtitles

Rush: NT: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: Anyone who flew in that thing was very brave.

Godwinshelley2: English spoken

Rush: ONLY English is heard

Godwinshelley2: Very unfrench speaking so far

angel & fox: Will practice tonight at being Inscrutable.

Nothere: Now remember as you look at this totally not suspicious guy. This script ha nothing to do with Charlie Chan Carrys on.

Rush: CC wears THE ring.

Godwinshelley2: Yikes an animal died for THAT??

Mike n Rachel in DC: Good plan, Angel. Don’t give a scrut to anyone.

Nothere: Well God it’s not a white fox fur .

Rush: Angel!

Rush: Good evening!

Godwinshelley2: It’s like the sleeves that were missing from the fur last week

Rush: We can cue you in!

angel & fox: No scrutz. Not from me they will not be getting.

Mike n Rachel in DC: WTF. He understands the English speaking but has to read the address?

Godwinshelley2: Rock-mail

Rush: Not safety glass in those times.

Dona: Poor Charlie

Dona: just go there

Dona: got

angel & fox: Simply smashing! Good show, good show!

Rush: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: Not a very welcoming people, those French…

Nothere: Safty glass? I’m not sure anything on that taxi is safe.

Phil: He doesn’t want the champagne to get cold.

Louise: The person throwing the rock might have multiple personalities: each word is written differently

Godwinshelley2: Yes Phil – I thought that too

Phil: We see him next week in Egypt.

Rush: Reference to “CC in London.”

Rush: Yes, Phil.

angel & fox: Have Cook pick out the large shards. The cake can be served to The Help and they’ll thank us at Christmas.

Rush: These three films are “connected.”

Rush: Possibly “Shanghai” is along CC’s route back home.

Mike n Rachel in DC: “mischief sounds nice”

Phil: Isn’t that interesting, in “Egypt” CC even mentions that he saw that guy when he was in Paris

Rush: Yes.

Rush: The OBNOXIOUS artist.

Nothere: So a Honolulul police detective has an account in a Paris bank. Yeah nothing suspicious there.

Rush: Max Corday.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Lovable drunk.

angel & fox: Walk like an Egyptian, run like a Frenchman.

Louise: Sad drunks

Rush: CC puts him in his place…

Godwinshelley2: Fur was used sparingly in clothing in these first fee

Godwinshelley2: few

Louise: icky

Rush: Max called her “Ming Toy.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: Like the pigeon?

Nothere: And back to fur. Come on ladies whats with all thse patials. If your gonna fur, go full fur.

Mike n Rachel in DC: WWI reference?

Louise: It looks like full fur on the inside

Rush: Possibly!

Godwinshelley2: Is that hood fur lined?

Rush: I suspect that Keye Luke drew this.

Phil: man that guy draws fast.

Louise: good drawing

Rush: VERY fast!

Rush: “Le Singe Bleu.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: “swift, bold strokes”

Rush: “The Blue monkey”

Rush: Chan notes this…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Gay Paree

Rush: An inuendo just then…

Rush: Get ready…

Louise: Charlie does dance

Rush: The Dans Apache….

Nothere: France when it was still France. Or at least what you American swine think France is.

Phil: Oh..this is where the guys beats the craps out of the poor woman and calls it a dance.

Mike n Rachel in DC: “Valse des Rayons”

Louise: yes Phil

Mike n Rachel in DC: Offenbach

Godwinshelley2: Not going to learn that one in dance class!

angel & fox has left this room

Rush: The song title….TYSM.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Take Krav Maga then do this

Louise: and yet we are all fascinated by it

Godwinshelley2: Is there any updated versions where she beats him up?

Rush: In a theatrical way…yes.

Mike n Rachel in DC: The actual doing of this stuff is amazing…they are really athletic

Godwinshelley2: I’m not

hounder: yuk

Rush: Understood!

Rush: What’s coming is worse, though!

Phil: I hope they did this in one take.

Godwinshelley2: Like she didn’t have enough problems from the dance – now dhe gets stabbed

Nothere: Guy still totally unsuspicious.

Nothere: <TINCAN>

Rush: TYSM…NT…

Phil: Wow, I was so caught up in the drama I forgot to cue the can.

Rush: 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: R.I.P. Nardi

Nothere: Your welcome. Our regular tincan is not available. Tonight the part of tincan will be played by nothere tincan.

Rush: Okay, then…!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Who has a picture of themselves by their bed?

Rush: CC…allergic to that plant???

Louise: Thought the same think Mike/Rachel

Rush: mentioned the “Stable Murder” in London.

Phil: Darn, missed that Rush.

Mike n Rachel in DC: The Stable Murder with the unstable housemaid

Nothere: What was that? The wind sneezed. Oh well carry on…say what?

Nothere: Oh Mike. She just saw murdering men creeping about the house.

Rush: Chan thanks the clock…I love it…

Rush: Actually, he’s grateful to the cuckoo.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Unfailingly polite

Rush: Yes.

Nothere: The cuckoo is a stool pidgeon.

Rush: Watch it!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Fail.

Rush: Fortunately, he has bad aim!

Dona: They missed YAY

Godwinshelley2: I can’t imagine there were many Chinese in Ohio where Biggers was from. So was it in Hawaii where he hit on the idea of a Chinese detective?

Nothere: I might have to change his name to slightly suspicious guy.

Nothere: Yep. He heard of an actual one called Chang Aoana. Then he figured that woud make a good character.

Matt1: Pop!

Louise: Lee!

Godwinshelley2: Nice Dressing Gown!!

Mike n Rachel in DC: No dragon though.

Rush: Hotel Mazarin: Named for Jules Mazarin, French cardinal and statesman, born in Italy: chief minister of Louis XIV 1642–61.

Rush: Lee appears!

Rush: Lee came in from Rome.

Mike n Rachel in DC: sent by “the firm”?

Rush: Seems so.

Godwinshelley2: Vacation?? When does Mrs Chan get a vacation?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Don’t they send him to China next?

Rush: “Joy in heart more desirable than bullet.”

Nothere: Oh Lee’s the type of guy who likes to rome around.

Rush: Yes…to Shanghai…

Rush: In time to meet up with Pop!

angel & fox has joined this room

Louise: bad glasses

Mike n Rachel in DC: WB AnF

Rush: Welcome back, Angel!

Rush: (and fox…)

Louise: what is with the collar of her coat?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Well, if you get all that $ for a little peck on the cheek…

Rush: A fashionably HUGE collar.

Dona: Interesting collar Louise

angel & fox: Looks like i got timed out. But i saw that about Mazarin. Louis XIV was too nice a guy.

Rush: My posts are delayed…

Louise: Yes, I commented on the collar but it disappeared!

Louise: Mine are too Rush

hounder: ugly fashion

Rush: I see your comment above, Louise.

Rush: Running good again.

angel & fox: Those ruffled collars are headed for a comeback any season now. Great with fox fur.

Phil: And I’m having intermittent DVD malfunctions so it’s a fun night all around.

Nothere: So sorry Phil

Rush: As long as FUN is in the mix, Phil!

Rush: Marcel Xavier…

Phil: What’s our time please?

Rush: 24:45

Rush: 24:55

Mike n Rachel in DC: Mr Smith again

Rush: And…”Charlie Chan’s Courage”…

Rush: Murray Kinnell.

Dona: He’s a busy guy

Mike n Rachel in DC: Must have got tired of the secret agent life

Phil: His hair’s darker in this one.

Rush: Yes, Mike!

angel & fox: Other day a gentleman offered to clean my clock for two cents. Should i have accepted? His price seemed suspiciously high to me.

Rush: By the way…send a wave to Rachel, please!

Mike n Rachel in DC: *Rachel waves back*

Nothere: WAve

Rush: 🙂

Dona: Waving

Mike n Rachel in DC: Munching on some peanut butter at the moment. Good Chan snack.

Louise: Is Charlie acting as a private detective here?

Rush: Seems he’s working privately, maybe as a favor…

angel & fox: RACHEL: Herewith a wave–hold it–a Ms. Merman says she’s having a heat wave. Would you like in?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Well he surely has no official capacity in France, does he?

Rush: OR…perhaps to help pay for his travels!

hounder: i think so, louise

angel & fox: She certainly can can-can. Make a note of that, Inspector.

Rush: “Must turn up many stones to find hiding place of snake.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: The can-can is fine…but can she TIN-can?

Rush: “But must be VERY careful with final stone…”

Rush: Mike: 🙂

Godwinshelley2: Only a moment to deposit my “monthly insult”

Nothere: You maniac. Your on the wrong side of the road.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Not much traffic fortunately.

Rush: Driving along the Champs Elysees.

Rush: “Home, James…”

angel & fox: The French Army soon had no official capacity in France.

Mike n Rachel in DC: *smooch*

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey! This is a G rated movie you two.

Rush: Home, James! – (Catchphrase) The original saying, dating from the mid-1800s and spoken to a coach driver, was supposedly “Home, James, and don’t spare the horses!” There was a 1934 song by Fred Hillebrand (1893-1963) with the same phrase as a title: Home, James, and Don’t Spare the Horses is the modern origin of the catchphrase; it was in general usage by the early 1930s.

angel & fox: Tooshay, tooshay, Capitolites!

Phil: Well that didn’t take long.

Rush: Yes, they can be “touchy,” Angel…

Nothere: Horses? Sorry Govnr only got the one but I’ll kill it getting ya ome isf ye pays enough.

angel & fox: Get a room, AND a horse!

Mike n Rachel in DC: “I’ll just hide this contraband by cleverly placing my scarf over it.”

Rush: A clue for us, here.

Nothere: Because taking the midnight train to ottowa would be silly. And bvery wet.

Rush: Shadow at the window…obviously not making the call…

angel & fox: My fox will scarf it down. He has a giant lazerrrrr.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Wearing the goofy have of the (becoming more suspicious) non-suspicious man.

Rush: Not limping…

Mike n Rachel in DC: (goofy hat)

Mike n Rachel in DC: Drat! He found my super-secret hiding place!

Nothere: Now your getting it Mik and or Racheal:)

Rush: Yvette makes a series of blunders here…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel sez he should have used his socks to cover them

Mike n Rachel in DC: 1. Scream

angel & fox: If “my Georgia” was to move to Ottawa & i wanted to disguise my carbon footprints, should i say i wasctaking a midnight train to, say, Betty? Or Montreal?

Nothere: <TINCAN>

Mike n Rachel in DC: 2. Run

Rush: TYSM…NT….

Nothere: Montreal

Mike n Rachel in DC: 3. Pick up gun

Rush: 3….

Phil: We’re not sure he’s dead

Rush: Yes.

angel & fox: “Tin cans” are actually made of rolled steel, you know.

Rush: and…4…

Mike n Rachel in DC: 4. Get caught

Nothere: Now play charades.

Rush: Holding them at gunpoint.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Yep. That’s pretty much a “what not to do if someone is shot in front of you.”

Rush: They are meeting at a restaurant on the Rue Pigalle.

Rush: Out the window we will not the Moulin Rouge.

angel & fox: We know this because Fox got his self caught in a can, & after the can-can jokes the radiologist told us the can would require a giant lazerrrrr.

Louise: stogie at dinner

Rush: (Cough…)

Nothere: Ah yes the jealous woman who steals her rivals act to murder her. Seen it a million times.

angel & fox: We left without paying.

Rush: Yes…hurry…

Phil: Hey he just flashed a white supremacist sign

angel & fox: Radiologists aren’t so bright.

Rush: According the today’s PC crowd…yes.

Mike n Rachel in DC: But they always get glowing recommendations. Go figure.

Rush: To me it still means: “Okay”

angel & fox: Okey dokes!!

Nothere: Donuts are white supremacy? I need to become a white supremacist. How many free donuts do we get?

Mike n Rachel in DC: That is a white supremacist sign?

Mike n Rachel in DC: I suddenly feel very old.

Rush: That’s a rumor started not too long ago…

Nothere: People are claiming it is. Course these are the same people who say four white people in a group is a microggression.

hounder: you and me both m n r

angel & fox: Notty, i’m boycotting donuts. I get alternative renewable snacks from a holesaler.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Brb. Mouse scampered through kitchen. Great excitement at the moment.

Rush: Message is sent here….

Louise: fur or feathers?

Rush: Note what Corday says to his friend…

Phil: It’s a long story but some dimwit cadet flashed that sign at the Army/Navy football game. A huff was then created when it was alleged that the cadet was flashing a white power sign. A major to do about absolutely nothing.

angel & fox: NT, let’s not forget 3 on a match. You, Fox, & me?

angel & fox: Ah, the humanity!

Nothere: We’ll I’m for it Angel, but I’m afraid I’m Not thee:)

Rush: Lakehurst…

Nothere: there even 🙂

Louise: shal I destroy? Destroying evidence again

Rush: Listen here…

Rush: Louise: 🙂

Rush: f the police notice, that could have been a problem for CC.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Corday leaves…

Nothere: O.k. La touche sit on your touhe till were ready for you.

Rush: If..and NOTICED.

Rush: All this must be happening within a large community of american and British ex-patriots!

Rush: Not a bit of French to be heard!

Louise: ah, not French for sure

Mike n Rachel in DC: They all learned English during the war perhaps?

Phil: I need to report that my DVD has self-destructed. It’s completely seized up and nothing I can do can make it advance. So I now have to rely on your comments to learn who done it.

Rush: And, I doubt a Frenchman would have said “By George.”

Nothere: Sorry to hear that Phi. Right now a plant has been broken.

Rush: More likely: “Sacre Bleu!”

Dona: I agree Rush

Mike n Rachel in DC: Difficult to explain hole in doughnut? Really?

angel & fox has left this room

Rush: Lost angel again…

Nothere: Mon Dieu. They would say Sacre Bleu?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Or Singe Bleu?

Rush: Or, “Mon Dieu”…yes!

Rush: Lee fills in his Pop…

Rush: We have a flashback here.

Nothere: And I fear you shall now also lose me. Au revior mon amis. Until the next time try to mangle only one foregin language a week. 🙂

Mike n Rachel in DC: au revoir, NT

Godwinshelley2: night

Rush: Take care, NT…

Dona: Hey Angel good to have you back (fox too)

Rush: At this lull in the action…how’s you mother doing, Hounder?

Phil: You know I’ve never seen the end of this movie. Is it on youtube?

Mike n Rachel in DC: Once again, Charlie plays “dumb”

angel & fox: This device i’m using seems to have some French characteristics. I think it’s a Citroën.

Rush: “Paris”?

Rush: It is on Youtube.

angel & fox: Thanks, Dona! I got an Eifel tho, once i could see. Mung doo! Say lavee!

Louise: he sobered up fast

angel & fox: Hic.

Rush: Most of the Fox chan movies are on Youtube.

angel & fox: Phil, no one’s ever seen the end of bit.

angel & fox: of it.

Louise: Oh my, we will never see the end?

Rush: This part is a little like what happens in “Monte carlo.”

Rush: Bonds.

Dona: It it in a continuous loop?

Dona: Is it

Rush: I think I am out of the loop of the conversation!

angel & fox: Is this the one where Whistler’s Mother rides a broom, & writes SURRENDER DOROTHY in carbon emissions?

Phil: Are you talking to me Dona?

Rush: Angel: 🙂

angel & fox: You talkin’ to ME?

Rush: “Faith is best foundation for happy future.”

Phil: How am I funny? Funny how?

Louise: Funny?Who said funny?

angel & fox: Do i amuuuse you?

Phil: This conversation’s going to heck in a handbasket.

Rush: We wouldn’t want to rattle his nerves….

Phil: lol

Dona: yes phil

Louise: yes Phil, if that is your real name…

Dona: :o)

Rush: I can vouch.

angel & fox: You just can’t find good handbaskets anymore. Craftsmanship’s gone completely to hell.

Rush: 🙂

Phil: Ohhh…he wrote “hell”

Phil: Potty fingers

Rush: Maybe he left out the apostrophe.

angel & fox: I expect to be roasted in the media.

Rush: “He’ll”

angel & fox: Rush: 🙂 🙂 🙂

hounder: lol @ y’all tonight

Rush: 🙂

Louise: This is why we never get to the end of the movie…

angel & fox: I feel like a lying foxfaced foxy soldier. Get me my fur.

Rush: “..unless a straw is used…”

Rush: (Not a plastic one in California, though…)

Dona: UHG

Dona: UGH

Dona: i love my staws

Dona: i’m hording them

Rush: Any way you spell it, Dona…

Rush: Me too.

angel & fox: Is this Zeno’s movie? The one Archimedes reviewed & said it was eternally getting halfway to the finish, but would never end?

angel & fox: Our polar bear & seals love the plastic straws.

Phil: Someday you too will be able to drink through a straw Rush

Louise: Since when did this chat turn into Philosophy 101?

Rush: We get a tour of the sewer here…

Louise: I hate the sound of running water…need a trip to then bathroom…

Dona: Isn’t Paris famous for it’s sewers?

Rush: If you get to paris, DO take the tour yourself, as it will give you an appreciation for these scenes.

Dona: I don’t remember why

angel & fox: Rush just wants to drink through a movie!

Mike n Rachel in DC: “Many strange crimes committed in the sewers of Paris.” One of the great Chan lines.

Rush: yes, Dona.

Godwinshelley2: And the Phantom of the Opera has the lake under the opera house

Rush: they have been prominant during the history of Paris.

angel & fox: Many brave farts lie asleep in the deep.

Phil: For me, the movie is in eternal freeze frame of when the the usually drunk artist comes into the room and demands to know what’s going on. I’ve been looking at that scene for the last 20 minutes.

Rush: Most recently, the French Underground used them to work against the German occupation.

Louise: Phil: now that is fascinating

Rush: Sorry, Phil!

Dona: That’s interesting

angel & fox: You think Phantom of the Arcade would have sold more tickets?

Dona: So sorry Phil

Phil: NO one feels sorrier for me than I do.

Godwinshelley2: The other Chan film in Paris also deals with forgery

Rush: Yes.

Phil: So did the movie end or what?

Rush: Forged passports in “City in Darkness.”

Rush: No…not yet.

Rush: 5 more minutes…

Mike n Rachel in DC: Building up to climactic scene. About to trap murderer!

Rush: Xavier…

Rush: Enters the sewer…

Louise: We won’t tell you Phil and you will wait forever

Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie!

hounder: watch out you’re about to get company

Rush: Shoots at the flashlight.

Godwinshelley2: Very few – round up the usual suspects and we tell them all about the crime – scenes in this one

angel & fox: Those drunk artists. Inscrutable! Artistes, really. I shall raise my bid.

Mike n Rachel in DC: *whew*

Rush: Chan’d okay (if I may use the hand gesture!)…

Rush: (Chan’s)

Mike n Rachel in DC: Anti-defamation League says it’s a hoax, Rush. You’re good. 🙂

Rush: Police arrive…

Rush: TYSM, Mike.

Mike n Rachel in DC: https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/okay-hand-gesture

Phil: I feel like I’m stuck at the event horizon of a black hole. Dang, hate it when that happens.

angel & fox: Jazz hands, PLEASE. We don’t want to offend.

Mike n Rachel in DC: What? No Xavier?

Rush: Chan reveals the facts…

angel & fox: Zeno’s here. Says he’s waiting for the end, will sit with us. I told him we’d be leaving.

Rush: LaTouche!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Touche, La Touche!

Louise: WHAT! oh, sorry Phil…nothing happened

Phil: See M&R you learned something new and totally stupid tonight.

angel & fox: 20,000 leagues under the hole.

Rush: Corday and LaTouche.

Godwinshelley2: In Baltimore a local newsman decided to be a begger for a day on the street – the cop came up to him and asked what he was up to – for the same reason – his hands were too clean and neat

Mike n Rachel in DC: We are wiser now, Phil. 🙂

Rush: teamed up to create Xavier.

Rush: Interesting, GS!

angel & fox: Fox & i follow M&R because they know how classy folks act.

Phil: Just older, but none the wiser.

Rush: Smart officer!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Should have read “The Man With the Twisted Lip” GS. Would have got all of the finer points.

Rush: And…observant!

Dona: That is a good one M&R

Mike n Rachel in DC: Laverne? Where is Shirley?

Godwinshelley2: Mike I was thinking that the whole film

Rush: Please feel free to post at our Message Board….getting a bit sparse of late!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Dufresne? Wasn’t he in Shawshank Redemption?

Phil: If you want wisdom just listen to the lyrics of some Bob Seger songs. There’s wisdom to be found there.

Rush: Post your thoughts, etc…

Louise: and donuts!

Godwinshelley2: The end

Mike n Rachel in DC: <kids-yeah>

Rush: I could go for a nice doughnut tonight….

Rush: THE END
