Charlie Chan Family Chat Archive for the year 2015
Welcome to our list of collected Chat Room film title records from our Charlie Chan Family Monday Evening Chat and Film Viewing for the year 2015.

The one holding the name of the eventual winner will receive the coveted 1936 silver half-dollar…just like the one used by Charlie Chan to place his famous bet on ‘Schnozzolola,’ better known as avalanche!
