Dave: Greetings, Chan fans!

Dave: Doing well here…I found an interesting factoid about a bit player in this film tonight…
Rush: Yes?
Matt1: I won’t be staying long. I’m at a hotel in Philly and wanted to see if I could get my iPad working here
Matt1: Happy Easter
Rush: Thank you, Matt!

Rush: Hello!
Rush: How are you tonight?
Matt1: Hello Hounder!
Rush: Matt…that’s the way it goes with ME, too!
Rush: You got in earlier tonight, Hounder!
Dave: Have to do more research, but he shares my last name (Beach) and went by the name of Brandon Beach. Was active as a bit player in more than 100 films, from this one tonight, plus Citizen Kane, Casablanca and several Perry Mason episodes. Having a hard time finding what he looks like…
hounder: tired. Mom spent 3 days in the hospital with an unidentified infection. we got home yesterday. we’re trying to get backin the home routine.
Rush: Interesting information, Dave!
Matt1: So sorry to hear Hounder, but hope she’s feeling a bit better
hounder: neat trivia dave
Dave: I am hoping to see what he looks like from a Perry Mason show, where he is a court reporter
Rush: Being a “bit player” in more than a hundred films is actually quite an accomplish,emt!
hounder: seems to be matt.
hounder: on antibiotics for another week. hoping that fixes it.
Dave: It is tough to have lingering infections…
Matt1: No way of googling a pic from him Dave?
Rush: Dave, I just tried to find a picture of Brandon Beach, but, unfortunately, whith his name, lots of images of guys on the beach come up!
Dave: Couldn’t find one, but did not spend much time on it…
Dave: There is a young actor with that same name…
Rush: If you can fing any of his movies on YouTube, you might have luck finding him.
Rush: (find)
mda19083 has joined this room

Mike n Rachel in DC: Hi MDA and hounder
hounder: hi mn r
Rush: Hounder, how is your mother tonight?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Good for you, Rush! A full day to get in the Chan frame of mind. 😉
Rush: YES!
Mike n Rachel in DC: We were wondering if you were teaching after the move…looks like yes.
Rush: I got a VERY interesting item off of eBay this past week.
Mike n Rachel in DC: DO tell…
hounder: i think we’re doing better. hopefully we get settled back to home routine. we had a active night last night
hounder: tell tell rush
Mike n Rachel in DC: Are you back in NC, hounder?
Rush: It is a news item from February of 1938 regarding Warner Oland.
Dave: anything worth getting a photo…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Newspaper, Rush?
hounder: no matt. we’re in fl. and will be as long as mom is with me. she can’t make the trip back.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Gotcha (re: mom)
Rush: lly, and involves his wandering around and doing strange things, related to his breakdown that caused him to leave the set of “Charlie Chan at the Ringside.”
Dave: Wow! Timely!
Matt1: Interesting
Rush: There is a photo included showing him dressed in a nice suit, wearing sun glasses, and walking in the Tucson, AZ Police parking lot in his socks.
Mike n Rachel in DC: EPIC, Rush. New cover photo for the website, perhaps?
Rush: So, this is the first item I have ever seen that verifies his difficulties following his departure from the shooting of “Ringside.”
Rush: I will share it when I receive it.
Dave: Very interesting…
Rush: Matt, will you be able to stay till the countdown tonight? I am having Internet issues again, it see,s!
Rush: Seems
Rush: I forgot to reset my router today. Sometimes the reboot has a positive effect!
Matt1→hounder: No, sorry. I’m actually going to head out now
Rush: Okay.
hounder: cool
Matt1: I’ll catch you all next week.
Rush: Well, maybe I can round up another volunteer for the final 2 minutes!
Rush: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: Take care, Matt…see you next week!
Dave: Take care!
Rush: Matt…have a great visit.
hounder: be safe
Matt1: Enjoy the film!
Rush: take care…
Rush: TYSM!
Rush: I have a small “bonus” to share tonight.
Matt1 has left this room
Mike n Rachel in DC: oooh
Rush: A link to the trailer for tonight’s movie.
Dave: Yay…
mda19083: sounds good
Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz82sPp8V4U
Rush: Take a look!
Rush: It is only a couple of minutes long.
Rush: And, thaere you have it…if you watched!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Very nice…and the music sounds GREAT on that recording
Rush: We will see Harold Huber as yet another cop character!
Rush: Lt. Riggs.
Rush: Agreed, Mike!
mda19083: nice – thanks for sharing Rush
Rush: Fun little clip, wasn’t it?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Very fun
mda19083: it looks like a few of the Chan regulars appear in tonight’s feature
Rush: Lt. Riggs mentioned his ringside ticket costing “12 bucks.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes, MDA. It’s like meeting old friends in an unexpected place.
Rush: That would be about $200. Still a great bargain for a championship match!
Dave: Nice clip
Rush: Yes, Mike!
mda19083: I guess they were all 20th Century Fox studio actors
Rush: Yes, MDA!
Rush: When “Ringside” was scrapped, Fox used as much of the shot footage as they could.
mda19083: how do the Mr Moto films stack up?
Rush: So, the actors who were to have been in “Ringside” were in “Gamble.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Must have been a challenge for the director and editor, Rush!
Rush: Must have been!
Rush: Yes, again, MDA!
Rush: And, it’s also interesting, I think, how many times in the last several films, we see Huber as a police detective!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Love “The Mysterious Mr. Moto” in particular
Rush: AH!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Huber was a real talent as a character actor!
Rush: I really agree!!!
Dave: exactly…
mda19083: I guess that I will need to check out the Mr Moto series
Rush: Some will criticize his performance in “City in darkness,” but that is the “fault” of the director!
Dave: Any suggestions for good ones…?
Rush: BUT, it also shows Huber’s range as an actor!
Mike n Rachel in DC: I first saw him in Monte Carlo and thought he was just a buffoon. Then he showed up in other films as really convincing characters of all types.
Rush: YES!
Dave: agree, m/r….
mda19083: an actor is only as good as his part was written
Rush: Agaim, he was directed to play the roles as he did.
hounder: didn’t he play in one of the thin man’s as well?
Rush: 11 minutes to go…
Rush: I have seen Huber turn up in a number of films…unexpectedly!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes, hounder. And in that one, he’s much more of a “normal” dramatic actor. Really good.
Rush: I think you are right about a Thin Man appearance.
Rush: 9 1/2 minutes…
Rush: It seems that the Easter holiday might cut into our attendance tonight.
Rush: That happens.
Mike n Rachel in DC: As my grandma would say, Rush, “all of the important people are here.”
Rush: More chips and dip for everyone, then!
Rush: Mike: 🙂
Dave: Right, the ones that matter…
mda19083: and leftover ham
Rush: 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: Don’t forget the pizza
Rush: AH!
Rush: Never forget the pizza!
hounder: dibs on the white queso dip. 🙂 but i’ll share
Rush: 🙂
mda19083: pizza for Easter?
Rush: Why not?
Mike n Rachel in DC: (Italian family, MDA)
Rush: Pizza is ALWAYS good!
Dave: pizz-ster…
Rush: Had some for dinner tonight, actually!

Rush: Music…
Mike n Rachel in DC: whee!
Rush: Credits….
Rush: Chanesque opening music…
Rich Maine: Huber again!
Rush: Yes!
Godwinshelley2′: I’d watch the fights with my Dad. He said you could tell who was going to lose – he had loose trunks and would spend most of his time pulling them up
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sounds like Wagner
Rush: AH!
Rush: Criminology class…
Godwinshelley2′: Louise – they should use the nutshell murders for this class
Dave: Comic relief…
Rush: Yes.
Louise: That would be perfect, GS
Rush: Imagine Warner Oland in the these scenes.
Rush: One can “feel” his presence through this movie!
Godwinshelley2′: Would Warner be teaching this class in the original script?
Rush: Especially when Moto uses aphorisms obviously meant originally for Chan!
Rush: Yes, GS, I am certain of that.
Dave: I could see him teaching the class but not flipping the cop…
Godwinshelley2′: That would have been nice. Seeing Oland as instructor
Mike n Rachel in DC: there’s a Chan-ism
Rush: Right, Dave!
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Rush: Moto refers to Chan here.
Rich Maine: Letter from pop
Rush: “Back in Honolulu.”
Louise: Fun crossover here
Dave: In Race Track, he does the instruction about the blood splatter…
Rush: Yes!
Godwinshelley2′: Which town is this taking place in?
Rush: Good question.
Rush: maybe we can determine that.
Rush: would guess NYC?
Godwinshelley2′: That detective’s father was a vast world traveler? Monte Carlo, New York, etc.
Rush: Yes.
Godwinshelley2′: Lon Chaney alter!!
Rush: Maybe Lee stayed over in NYC as his Pop headed home.
Godwinshelley2′: alert
Dave: Lon Chaney in back…
Rush: Yes, GS!
Rush: YES!
Rush: There he was.
Rush: And is.
Rich Maine: Werewolf

Louise: Wolf Man may turn on all of them
Rush: Yes, Dave! Good eye!
Rush: IF the moon is full.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Even a man who is pure of heart and who says his prayers by night…
Rush: Yes!
Mike n Rachel in DC: …may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full and bright
Godwinshelley2′: Actually with him, it could be Count Dracula, Im-ho-tep, or Frankenstein’s Monster too. He did it all.
Rush: Moral: never leave one’s ticket in one’s hat band!
Dave: Chaney did it all!
mda19083: that’s why i don’t wear a hat
Godwinshelley2′: He was even in Mantan Moreland’s last picture, Spiderbaby
Rush: Cue punching bag sound

Mr.Angel + Gambler Foxx: Rush, i have been using a time vehicle to visit (at “present”) the early Thirties; i was writing a phantasy phor a phriend who’s a Perry Mason fan, in which we from “here” pass in, out, & around the great man in all his incarnations & among lowlifes, highlife, & innnnnteresting L.A. clubs. Maybe i coukld drop you in 1938?
Rush: No, Lou!
Rush: Interesting find!
HonoluLou: It was written my Maven, I believe?
Mr.Angel + Gambler Foxx: Lou, you MUST share the putative Chanmas Carol!
Rush: That’d be great, Angel!
Godwinshelley2′: And maybe add it to the year-end newsletter??
Rush: AH! Virginia?
Rush: The gun is aimed away from Moto in that shot.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Can’t they get this guy a microphone? We should be modern in 1938
HonoluLou: Angel & GF, I Will. GW2, great idea! I will send to Rush, some of the day need deceifer.
Rich Maine: It’s like a Hitchcock scene with gun!
Rush: I agree, Mike!
HonoluLou: Are you still watchin Moto?
Mike n Rachel in DC: The murderer takes his gun safety seriously, ,Rush
Dave: right, rich

Mike n Rachel in DC: Saved by the bell!
Dave: good evening
Rush: See you “soon”?
Mr.Angel + Gambler Foxx: Rush, i’ll see you privately. My tales have taken my kwaintance & me from fly-on-wall views & actual raconteurship with everyone from the young Perry Mason & Ham Burger, all the well-known cast & characters i dug up, from the late ’20s to the turn of this era. ’38 will be easy!
Rush: We see HIM in a few Chan films.
