Hawaii_Steve:
During that short time (1933–1935), 20th Century became the most successful independent movie studio of its time, breaking box-office records with 18 of its 19 films, all profitable, including Clive of India, Les Miserables, and The House of Rothschild. After a dispute with United Artists over stock ownership, Schenck and Zanuck negotiated and used their studio to bring the bankrupt Fox studios in 1935 to create Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation.[7] Wikipedia.

02-26 19:27
Hawaii_Steve:
In a Zanuck biography, it states that Zanuck ordered to destroy much of the FOX FILMS library. He only retained Shirley Temple and Will Rogers. He did retain the early Chan film produced by Fox Films.
02-26 19:27
Rush:
Baxter is sort of a Birmingham Brown character!
02-26 19:27
Nothere:
Tombstone? When did he leave Reno?
02-26 19:28
Rush:
02-26 19:28
Matt:
Baxter’s a hoot
02-26 19:28

No one destroys Shirley Temple.

so was CC working a private case here, not for police?
02-26 19:29
Rush:
Facial expressions!
Seems so, Rich!
02-26 19:29
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Private investigator in his spare time, apparently
02-26 19:30
Rich in Maine:
CC never says Lt. Chan here
02-26 19:30
Rush:
Unless Allen Colby was a Hawaii resident?
02-26 19:30
Nothere:
Missing persons falls under police jurisdiction, and he was presumed dead from a Hawaiian boat.
02-26 19:31
Rush:
Yes!
That makes sense, NT!
Plus Mrs. Lowell called on CC’s help.
02-26 19:31
Nothere:
CC raerly mentions being a cop. I think somewhere in 40 films the writers forgot hes a cop.
02-26 19:31
Rush:
02-26 19:31
Rich in Maine:
everyone says Mr. Chan here, never Lt. or Detective
02-26 19:31
Rush:
Dick Williams has heard of Charlie Chan…as have many others by this time!
02-26 19:32
Nothere:
Ah please your no Eve Cario.
02-26 19:32
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
What is Bowan a professor of? And where?
02-26 19:32
Godwinshelley:
NT – doesn’t he go from cop to “special agent” for the govt
02-26 19:32
Rush:
I guess what we saw in “Treasure Island” could be counted as a sort of seance.
02-26 19:32
Nothere:
Priof of Hookum from the Barum School
02-26 19:33
Godwinshelley:
I was thinking that too Rush
02-26 19:33
Nothere:
During the war he does enlist in the secret service.
02-26 19:33
Rich in Maine:
Ghost light activated!
02-26 19:33
Rush:
Although it wasn’t actually Dr. Zodiac who conducted it.
Yes, NT.
02-26 19:34
Nothere:
<AAAHHHHHHHHH>
02-26 19:34
Matt:
02-26 19:34
Rich in Maine:
DB#1
02-26 19:34
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Hm. Yep. Time for the official can.
02-26 19:34
Rich in Maine:
Touch NOTHING
02-26 19:34
Rush:
I noticed someone duck into the hidden door as the body dropped.
02-26 19:34
Tarneverro:
Stagehand!
02-26 19:35
Nothere:
Official can now ten percent better than unofficial can.
02-26 19:35
Rush:
And, speaking of that…WHO was it who held and dropped the body, not to mention bringing the body to that position!
TYSM….Matt….
02-26 19:35
Nothere:
WEll that rules me out. I was Not there.
02-26 19:35
Rich in Maine:
even cop says Mr. Chan
02-26 19:35
Rush:
Yes.
02-26 19:36
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
A likely story, Nothere
02-26 19:36
Rush:
02-26 19:36
Nothere:
Well
02-26 19:36
Rush:
I still suspect hat Ulrich was involved in the depositing of the Allen Colby body during the seance!
02-26 19:37
Nothere:
Charlie is out of his jusrisdiction. Not that that stops him. Apparently Hpd has urisidton on other contenients.
02-26 19:37
Rush:
It seems that the san Francisco Police are accepting Chan’s help with this.
02-26 19:38
Rush:
We could suspect Baxter, but I seriously doubt that would be the case!
02-26 19:38
Rich in Maine:
any fingerprints on the clock hands ?
02-26 19:39
Rush:
maybe.
02-26 19:39
Godwinshelley:
Theres the crab design over the door – would a food for this film include crabmeat?
02-26 19:39
Rush:
BUT, probably only the edges of the cloch hands were touched.
02-26 19:39
Nothere:
Works for me God
02-26 19:40
Rush:
Maybe, GS!
02-26 19:40
Matt:
Nice reference to Lee
02-26 19:40
Rush:
Yes.
02-26 19:41
Nothere:
With Baxter as Backup/ Chan in big trouble.
02-26 19:41
Rush:
I always love the references to him when he’s absent!
02-26 19:41
Matt:
Baxter knows her toast!
02-26 19:41
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Crabcakes with Mrs. Lowell’s favorite toast
02-26 19:41
Rich in Maine:
Baxter gives great face
02-26 19:41
Rush:
Baxter even displayed googly eyes for a moment there!
02-26 19:42
Matt:
I’d like to see Baxter in more stuff
02-26 19:42
Godwinshelley:
So Crabcakes on Toast instead of Baltimore style with crackers
02-26 19:42
Rush:
Chlorine water.
02-26 19:42
Nothere:
Crabcakes and toast? I’m gonna guess milk as a drink
02-26 19:42
Rich in Maine:
CC has a whole chemistry kit with him
02-26 19:43
Nothere:
I fear my culenary skills are woeful compared to yours God. You lead I will endeavor to follow.
02-26 19:43
Nothere:
For a 1930s homidice detective Chan is very forward thinking.
02-26 19:44
Tarneverro:
You think you think! lol
02-26 19:44
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
I’m thinking if we want to keep to things from the movie…
02-26 19:44
Rich in Maine:
love that think line
02-26 19:44
Rush:
Good line there.
Yes!
02-26 19:44
Nothere:
I think you don’t argue wuith Mrs Lowell if you want to win.
02-26 19:45
Rush:
Right!
02-26 19:45
Nothere:
Charlie wants that screw. And no I’m not being lwed.
02-26 19:46
Rush:
A light goes on for Mrs. Lowell!
02-26 19:46
Rich in Maine:
early bluetooth speaker
02-26 19:46
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Music from the world beyond! (and Giants games as soon as they move out to SF)
02-26 19:46
Matt:
Trickery!
02-26 19:47
Rush:
Yes, Mrs. Lowell!
You’ve been duped!
02-26 19:47
Godwinshelley:
What show does Mantan listen to in Reno?
02-26 19:47
Rush:
In “Reno”?
02-26 19:47
Nothere:
Sorry God no idea.
02-26 19:48
Rush:
“The Chinese Cat”, perhaps?
“Lights Out”
02-26 19:48
Godwinshelley:
One where Birmingham is sitting in the car and the radio has a spooky show on
02-26 19:48
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Doesn’t he listen to the radio when he’s alone in the ghost town?
02-26 19:48
Godwinshelley:
That’s what I thought
02-26 19:49
Rush:
At the ghost town, the driver is hearing only the night sounds…then he’s startled bt Tombstone looking at him through the car window!
02-26 19:50
Nothere:
Do you suppose the light could be coming from the big mirror directly across? Nah! Thats silly.
02-26 19:50
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Ah. No evening radio in Reno, apparently
02-26 19:50
Rush:
Dr. Bowen was one busy guy!
02-26 19:51
Nothere:
<BAng>
02-26 19:51
Rush:
So! We see that Chan packs a gun!
02-26 19:51
Rich in Maine:
I’ll make a new will…….signing death warrant
02-26 19:51
Rush:
Yes, Rich!
02-26 19:52
Nothere:
True like declaration of police. Gun seldom seen but very useful to Charlie Cahn
02-26 19:52
Rush:
Yes, NT!
Stated in a manner worthy of Chan!
02-26 19:53
Nothere:
TySM

Rich in Maine:

02-26 19:54
Nothere:

02-26 19:56
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Somewhat fragile, Rich
02-26 19:57
Rush:
The scout knife again comes in handy!
02-26 19:58
Rich in Maine:
or was she with child Mike ??? make these films a bit more racy
02-26 19:58
Rush:
Chan just may have found a “bee.”
02-26 19:58
Mike n Rachel in DC :):
Could be some spicy moments in the remakes, Rich 
02-26 19:59
Rich in Maine:

02-26 19:59
Rush:
Note the spider weks on CC’;s hat.

02-26 20:00
Nothere:
Modern day Charlie would do a lot more action syunts.

02-26 20:01
Rich in Maine:

02-26 20:01
Rush:

02-26 20:01
Tarneverro:
Tonic water
02-26 20:01
Rich in Maine:
Carlotta wears a Morticia Addams gown
02-26 20:01
Nothere:

02-26 20:04
Rush:
02-26 20:04
Rich in Maine:
is there some shiny makeup under CC eyes?
02-26 20:05
Nothere:
Not that I can see Rich.
02-26 20:06
Rush:
Ulrich has a definite motive to have at least helped out with some of this!
02-26 20:07
Nothere:
Charlie gets asecret.
02-26 20:08
Nothere:
And the killer did oddly know just when to set the trap for Alan adter Alan rang for Ulrich.

Rich in Maine:

02-26 20:10
Rush:
CC adjusts “the ring.”
No pun intended.
02-26 20:11
Rich in Maine:
everyone cries for Mother but nobody cried for Allen
02-26 20:11
Rush:
I think that may have been because everyone had thought Allen was already dead!
02-26 20:12
Rich in Maine:
or wished he was Rush
02-26 20:12
Rush:
YES!
02-26 20:12
Nothere:
And Allen was estranged from the family. It had nothing to do with the fortune they’d lose if he turned up alive.
02-26 20:13
Rush:
Right!
02-26 20:13
Nothere:
Trageetory. Did Chan study at HPD’s crime lab?
02-26 20:14

Rush:
Plop!

Rush:

02-26 20:18
Rush:

02-26 20:18
Mike n Rachel in DC :):

Rush:

02-26 20:22
Nothere:
REmember if the ghost names you as the killer. Play it cool. They’ll never get it on the witness stand at trial.
02-26 20:22
Rush:
