Literally…”Charlie Chan in Shanghai”!
02-19 18:44
Matt:
How appropriate!
02-19 18:45
Rush:
It’s fun and short…
A glimpse of the Olands in China…
Ready?
02-19 18:45
Matt:
Yes
02-19 18:45

True, Matt!
02-19 18:50
Mike in DC:
Narrated by Dracula
02-19 18:50
Rush:
Almost sounds like AI!
02-19 18:50
Rush:
Note the rickshaws that we see in tonight’s movie.
02-19 18:52
Rush:
We see the suggestion of the “haze” in tonight’s movie.
02-19 18:54
Rush:
This would be the Shanghai that Charlie Chan would see and experience.
02-19 18:55
Matt:
Looks quite crowded then…..Can only imagine today?
02-19 18:55
Rush:
Yes, Matt!!!
02-19 18:55
Mike in DC:
and the movie does play on the idea of two lifestyles juxtaposed
02-19 18:56
Rush:
That seems to be a part of it, yes.
Probably unintended by the one who filmed the scenes, though.
02-19 18:57
Matt:
Very interesting
Thnx!
02-19 18:57
Rush:
So…we saw what Shanghai looked like around the time of “Charlie Chan in Shanghai.”
02-19 18:58
Mike in DC:
Yes…it’s not that different looking than how it comes across in the movie
02-19 18:58
Rush:
And…last…another, quite different look at Shanghai around the same time…
Ready?
02-19 18:58
Matt:
Yep!
02-19 18:59
Rush:
15…
10…

02-19 19:02
Matt:
Thnx Rush…..Well done
02-19 19:02
Rush:

You are welcome, gentlemen!
02-19 19:02
Mike in DC:
I wonder if Rachel would like the sable-trimmed tablecloth dress
02-19 19:03
Rush:
Too bad more of us didn’t see them, but, oh, well!
We wikll see if today’s holiday cuts into our attendance a bit!
02-19 19:03
Mike in DC:
The “educational” extras are always enjoyable
02-19 19:03
Matt:
True
02-19 19:03
Rush:
It looked pretty PRICEY, Mike!
02-19 19:04
Matt:
They help set the tone for the film
02-19 19:04
Mike in DC:
Ah. We had school today, so I forget it’s a holiday
02-19 19:04
Rush:
AH!
02-19 19:04
Mike in DC:
Agreed, Matt.
And yes, Rush. I bet it cost a pretty fen back in the day
02-19 19:05
Rush:
I appreciated the three-day weekend.
Yes, Mike!
02-19 19:05

02-19 19:20
Rich in Maine:
acapella CC
02-19 19:21
Mike in DC:
Gotta work on that intonaiton
02-19 19:21
Rush:
Long the journey, hard the way,
But his heart was gay;
For, was he not a prince both strong and brave,
Vowed a princess fair to save?
And he slew the dreadful dragon,
Even cut off his seven heads;
And in his cave he found the princess
Bound to her lowly bed.
Then came they both back to the land
Of the mighty Emperor Fu Manchu,
To claim his reward, the dainty hand
Of lovely Ming Lo Fu
CC wears “the ring.”
02-19 19:21
Friend and Foxx:
We gotta get the extended version of this tune. That, “Punji Punji Punji” and a couple Yoko Ono sides (btw HAPPY BDAY YOKO!) and we’ll be set to party on Garth!
02-19 19:21
Godwinshelley:
That’s good I thought he wanted “the dainty head” of Ming Lu Fu
02-19 19:21
Rush:
F&F:
02-19 19:21
Rich in Maine:
as usual Phil
02-19 19:22

Note the “hazy” atmosphere here.
02-19 19:22

Gracias, Rush! You are TOO kind.
02-19 19:22

Phil:
Probably the most Chinese he’s ever spoken
02-19 19:26

02-19 19:26
Long Lost Louise:
what happened to no speeches?
02-19 19:26
Rush:

Mike in DC:
The famous jade bullet
02-19 19:27

02-19 19:27
Matt:
02-19 19:27
Rush:
TYSM….Matt…
02-19 19:27
Matt:

02-19 19:27
Godwinshelley:
Like the sign behind Charlie with his photo
02-19 19:27

02-19 19:27
Friend and Foxx:
A LEAD WEDGIE!

02-19 19:28
Friend and Foxx:
Don knots.
02-19 19:28
Rush:
Yes, GS, there was as we caught a glimpse just now.
02-19 19:28
Phil:
We need to regulate boxes
02-19 19:28
Rush:
F&F:
02-19 19:28
Phil:
In fact, we ought to ban boxes. And then, plastic bags
02-19 19:29
Friend and Foxx:
Secretary here is definitely Pensky material.
02-19 19:29
Rush:
Already halfway there in some places, Phil!
02-19 19:29
Friend and Foxx:
The Hole Department.
02-19 19:29
Phil:
yup
02-19 19:29
Godwinshelley:
Like that combo of dots with plaid
02-19 19:29
Rush:
Lee is correct.
Yes, GS!
02-19 19:30
Phil:
polka dots and gig squares – wow
big squares
02-19 19:30
Friend and Foxx:
Nice shirt!
02-19 19:30
Rush:
The Chan family photo.
02-19 19:30
Friend and Foxx:
Talk does not cook rice.
02-19 19:30
Rush:
Good one, F&F…!
02-19 19:31
Long Lost Louise:
prayers won’t help!
02-19 19:31
Rush:
Lee’s lucky HE didn’t get shot!
02-19 19:31
Friend and Foxx:
We’re at (13:15). Too far ahead?
02-19 19:31
Rush:
Maybe they DID, Louise, as the hand of death passed Lee by!
02-19 19:31
Rich in Maine:
with CC never stay on first floor.
02-19 19:31
Friend and Foxx:
Spotlight on Lee.
02-19 19:32
Rush:
14:15
14:25
14:35
02-19 19:32
Phil:
What? Charlie can’t answer Lee?
02-19 19:32
Rush:
14:45
02-19 19:32
Friend and Foxx:
Thanks! We’re right in line for once.
02-19 19:32
Rush:
YAY!
02-19 19:33
Long Lost Louise:
sleep great when they think you are dead!
02-19 19:33
Rush:
The bullet should be embeded somplace.
02-19 19:33
Friend and Foxx:
That IS a beautiful bedtime ensemble! Wonder if it’s available in, uh, FOX?
02-19 19:33
Rush:
Yes, louise!
02-19 19:34
Godwinshelley:
lots of pencils in her pocket?
02-19 19:34
Friend and Foxx:
She looks pissed.
02-19 19:34
Rush:
Prepared to write anything!
02-19 19:34
Phil:
Mr Snarly Face
02-19 19:34
Rush:
02-19 19:35
Rush:
Lee ignores the request by Pop!
02-19 19:35
Godwinshelley:
bathroom song
02-19 19:35
Phil:
I’m sure the adjacent rooms appreciate his singing.
02-19 19:36
Rush:
Note the bow on Chan’s hat is to the rear of the hat.
02-19 19:36
Godwinshelley:
was that a style or a whoops
02-19 19:36
Rush:
That was evidently a style at one point.
02-19 19:36
Mike in DC:
Charlie is very spiffy in this suit
02-19 19:36
Rush:
I saw that in an unrelated movie from the same era once.
02-19 19:36
Friend and Foxx:
A CC Musical was a million-dollar check just waiting to be cashed.
02-19 19:36
Rush:
Agreed Mike!
02-19 19:37
Godwinshelley:
The ring looks kind of larger than his usual
02-19 19:37
Rush:
I wish someone would collect, F&F!
02-19 19:37
Mike in DC:
Pulling out all the fashion stops for the homeland apparently
02-19 19:37
Rush:
The ring IS prominant tonight, for sure, GS!
02-19 19:37
Rich in Maine:
CC on Broadway……..singing, dancing, death!
02-19 19:38
Rush:
Yes, Rich!
02-19 19:38
Phil:
Imagine the woke outrage.
02-19 19:38
Rush:
Lee talks with his latest girlfriend.
02-19 19:39
Tarneverro:
lee the playa
02-19 19:39
Rush:
This is tha same person who appears as the Chans’ eldest daughter in “The Black camel” at the breakfast scene.
02-19 19:39
Godwinshelley:
A layout of Lee’s girlfriends would be an interesting addition to the end of year newsletter
02-19 19:39
Rush:
She was the daughter of E.L. Park, who was CC in “Behind That Curtain”
02-19 19:39
Friend and Foxx:
Rush (and other esteemed Creatives here), THAT is the Big Payoff YOU were given by honored ancestors. Sharpen quills! Shout casting calls!
02-19 19:39
Rush:
02-19 19:40
Mike in DC:
We could do a
“Lee’s girlfriends” calendar lol
02-19 19:40
Rush:
The actress’ name: Bo ling.
02-19 19:40
Phil:
In a city of millions of Chinese, why do they have a Caucasian cop?
Whose name is undoubtedly “Clancy”
02-19 19:40
Godwinshelley:
And why would their “standard stationary” be in English
02-19 19:40
Rush:
No, not “Bowling”!
02-19 19:40
Mike in DC:
Is Bo Ling friends with Ping Pong?
02-19 19:40
Rich in Maine:
ah rush you are font of trivia
02-19 19:41
Friend and Foxx:
CHARLIE CHAN ON BROADWAY!
Gotta sing! Gotta dance! Got a CLUE!!
02-19 19:41
Rush:
Interestingly, as Bo LING played Number One Daughter in “The Black Camel,” the name of the Chans’ Number One Daughter was LING in “CC in Honolulu.”
02-19 19:42
Long Lost Louise:
teen age?
02-19 19:42
Friend and Foxx:
Mike, 😁😁😁
02-19 19:42
Rush:
She looked to be arounf 20 in “Camel,” perhaps.
02-19 19:43
Friend and Foxx:
They do have one cop from Eastern Europe. A Hungarian, resented by the rest of the force as a Buddha pest.
02-19 19:43
Rush:
The kindness CC extended to the flower girl may have saved his life, by allowing Lee to follow.
02-19 19:43
Godwinshelley:
Though Lee didn’t get the best cabbie
02-19 19:43
Friend and Foxx:
Courtesy is never a waste.
02-19 19:44
Rush:
In one of our extras tonight, we saw how rickshaws were, indeed, common in Shanghai during this period!
02-19 19:44
Mike in DC:
That driver is only getting one start for this ride
02-19 19:44
Rush:
Yes, F&F.
02-19 19:44
Mike in DC:
*star
02-19 19:44
Friend and Foxx:
Mike 😆
02-19 19:45
Long Lost Louise:
great shadows
02-19 19:45
Friend and Foxx:
02-19 19:45
Rush:
Yes, Mike! And, he does NOT tolerate backseat drivers!
02-19 19:46
Friend and Foxx:
This was a Boston driver yesterday.
02-19 19:46
Rush:
Nice parking job, F&F!
02-19 19:46
Friend and Foxx:
We gave her 2 stars.
02-19 19:46
Rush:
Nice diving tackle by Lee!!!
02-19 19:46
Friend and Foxx:
Chan hinself couldn’t have parked so neat.
02-19 19:47
Rush:
Maybe BB could though!
02-19 19:47
Friend and Foxx:
Ace in hole referred to Hole Department.
Rush, you read our mind!
02-19 19:48
Rush:
Su Lo Gau.
02-19 19:48
Rush:
Good use of the mirror on the wall just then.
02-19 19:49
Rich in Maine:
Su Lo Gau….better known as Sy Symm
02-19 19:49
Rush:
02-19 19:50
Rush:
Russell Hicks.
We will see him again later in the series.
02-19 19:51
Rush:
Russell Hicks:
Charlie Chan in Shanghai: James Andrews
Dark Alibi: Warden Cameron
Shanghai Chest: District Attorney Bronson
02-19 19:52
Godwinshelley:
I think he’s in a few Karloff films too – his name is familiar
02-19 19:52
Mike in DC:
It’s interesting how Hicks sort of bookends the Chan canon
02-19 19:52
Rush:
Yes! He appears in other non-Chan films, as I have seen.
02-19 19:53
Rush:
Some older TV shows as well.
I even saw him in an episode of the old “Sopace patrol” series!
02-19 19:53
Godwinshelley:
Hey Russel Hicks is from Baltimore – just like Hans Conried
02-19 19:53
Mike in DC:
From Balmer? Really?
02-19 19:54
Long Lost Louise:
Well young man…CAUGHT!
02-19 19:54
Rush:
Yes, GS!
02-19 19:55
Rich in Maine:
Gotcha!
02-19 19:55
Rush:
In fact, Hans Conried appears in one of the episodes of “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan”: “The Great Salvos”
02-19 19:56
Godwinshelley:
Got to praise those hometown boys
02-19 19:56
Rush:
Indeed!
Yes, Louise!
02-19 19:57
Mike in DC:
Clue!
02-19 19:57
Rush:
Yes!
02-19 19:58
Godwinshelley:
I was wrong – Hicks worked with Chaney Jr in “Man Made Monster” but no Karloff films
02-19 19:58
Rush:
Nice work by CC!
Lee is on the phone again!
02-19 19:59
Tarneverro:
Charlei is sharp!
02-19 19:59
Mike in DC:
Artist at work
02-19 19:59
Rich in Maine:
a lee original !
02-19 20:00
Rush:
Yes, Lee the artist!
02-19 20:00
Mike in DC:
Perhaps that’s the picture that got him into art school
02-19 20:00
Rush:
Maybe!
02-19 20:01
Friend and Foxx:
One female telephone call.
02-19 20:01
Rush:
Lee met the youg lady on the boat HE took to Shanghai!
02-19 20:02
Friend and Foxx:
Lee the sea wolf.
02-19 20:02
Rush:
Chan just got a possible clue there….
02-19 20:02
Friend and Foxx:
I’ll be The Monkees’ uncle.
02-19 20:03
Mike in DC:
“Charlie Chan have bad habit of collecting clues,” Rush
02-19 20:03
Rush:
Yes, sadly but one nephew remains, Uncle Angel…
02-19 20:03
Mike in DC:
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
02-19 20:04
Friend and Foxx:
Colonel Honey-Mustard, in the library, with a candlestick.
02-19 20:04
Long Lost Louise:
I always like “contradiction please!”
02-19 20:05
Rush:
Yes, Louise!
Nice, to-the-point line!
02-19 20:05
Friend and Foxx:
Ah, yes. Maybe Mickey D could take a turn now and then for Mick J.
02-19 20:05
Rush:
02-19 20:05
Matt:
Great pic!
02-19 20:05
Friend and Foxx:
KEEP AWAY FROM TELEPHONE
02-19 20:06
Rich in Maine:
this house interior looks like the CC set of his home
02-19 20:06
Rush:
One of the collection seen in our Gallery.
02-19 20:06
Rush:
Kitties!
02-19 20:07
Long Lost Louise:
Awww, kittens
and a hobo
02-19 20:07
Friend and Foxx:
Know when to “hold” ’em!
02-19 20:07
Rush:
02-19 20:07
Godwinshelley:
Hello kitties – to be added to our Chan animal collection
02-19 20:07
Rush:
Lee’s disguise was good enough to fool his Pop!
02-19 20:08
Friend and Foxx:
Don’t wanna run into THAT, nude, descending a staircase.
You should put pants on.
02-19 20:08
Rush:
That was the fifth suggestion.
02-19 20:09
Rush:
02-19 20:09
Godwinshelley:
my favorite nude painting
02-19 20:09
Long Lost Louise:
great painting
02-19 20:09
Rush:
Marcel Duchamp’s take on cubo-futurism!
02-19 20:11
Tarneverro:

02-19 20:11
Long Lost Louise:
nasty boyfrinds
02-19 20:11
Rush:
Yes, aparently so!
02-19 20:12
Rush:
Chan’s room number is probably 325 as 326 is across the hall.
02-19 20:14
Rush:
mugs – Thugs, hoodlums.
The Versailles Cafe
02-19 20:14
Long Lost Louise:
Love all of Lee’s costumes over the years
02-19 20:14
Tarneverro:
325. Special niumber dfor me. Old dorm room
02-19 20:14
Rush:
Matt, will your travels take you to Paris?
02-19 20:15
Matt:
Yes….twice actually
02-19 20:15
Rush:
NICE!
02-19 20:15
Friend and Foxx:
Wow!!
02-19 20:15
Long Lost Louise:
Google it? Oh, wait…
02-19 20:15
Rush:
IF you have the chance, take the tour of the Paris sewers. It will relate well to what is seen in “CC in Paris.”
02-19 20:16
Matt:
Yes!
02-19 20:16
Rush:
Meanwhile, at the Cafe…
02-19 20:17
Godwinshelley:
Louise – now there is a dress for the coloring book – that snake thing
02-19 20:17
Long Lost Louise:
Great dress to add!
02-19 20:17
Rich in Maine:
see what the boys in the back room will have ……
02-19 20:19
Mike in DC:
a TWICK
02-19 20:19
Rush:
Yes!
02-19 20:20
Rush:
sarsaparilla
02-19 20:21
Rush:
There was a brief glimpse of a man apparently smoking an opium pipe.
02-19 20:22
Friend and Foxx:
It’s quarter to three . . . So set ’em up, Joe.
02-19 20:22
Rush:
Looks like they left a lot on the table.
02-19 20:22
Friend and Foxx:
Ooof.
02-19 20:23
Rush:
CC senses the trap!
02-19 20:23
Mike in DC:
I love this flashlight line
02-19 20:23
Phil:
Hope it’s a waterproof flashlight
02-19 20:25
Friend and Foxx:
Or Foxx in fox fur.
02-19 20:25
Rush:
NEXT WEEK: “Charlie Chan’s Secret”
02-19 20:25
Friend and Foxx:
shhhhhHHHHHHHH!
02-19 20:26
Phil:
I seemed to have known that Rush
02-19 20:26
Rush:
Chan springs the trap!
02-19 20:27
Rush:
“You pretend to be G-man, now turn out to be NG-man.”
THAT was the clue CC noted earlier.
02-19 20:28
Long Lost Louise:
G-Man revealed to fake by drinking too much!
02-19 20:28
Rush:
Yes!
02-19 20:28
Tarneverro:
You make excellent noose…for neck!
02-19 20:28
Rush:
“Thank you…so much”
02-19 20:28
Godwinshelley:
The end
02-19 20:28
