06-10 19:22
Rush:
Regarding the wax figures:
According to David Robert Cellitti, the wax figure of Charlie Chan (and, perhaps we may assume that the rest of the wax figures used in the film) was made by a studio in Los Angeles called The Stubergh’s, which was run by Katherine Stubergh. “The late Katherine Stubergh was my mentor. She supplied wax figures for such films as House of Wax, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, The Frozen Ghost, and many other pictures…including Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum.”

She probably figured that Lois Lane had the inside track on that nerdy reporter, NT. Decided to keep a lower profile.
06-10 19:27
Nothere:
Joe Rock sent to the rock.
06-10 19:27
Rush:
Dr. Cream is just a bit TOO eager to have Chan at the broadcast….
06-10 19:27
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Bunn: surely you are not afraid to match wits with me? Chan: I never fight an unarmed man.
06-10 19:27
Rush:
yes, NT….
Yes, Mike/Rachel
06-10 19:27
Nothere:
Mike and or Racheal make fine statement.
06-10 19:28
Rush:
For Jimmy, “No hooky” means “YES hooky.”
06-10 19:28
Rich in Maine:
Dr Cream is really skim milk
06-10 19:28
Rush:
06-10 19:28
Fredsmom:
06-10 19:28
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Sour cream
06-10 19:28
Rush:
VERY
06-10 19:29
Nothere:
Perhaps Dr. Cream get creamed in chalenge.
06-10 19:29
Mike n Rachel in DC:
If he puts on a little weight, he’ be “heavy” Cream, right?
06-10 19:29
Rush:
PM!
06-10 19:29
Godwinshelley:
Yes the rain noise is soothing
06-10 19:29
Rush:
WELCOME!
06-10 19:29
Rich in Maine:
yes Mike
06-10 19:29
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Rachel is sniggering about “whipping” Cream….
06-10 19:29
Rush:
Two pauls!
06-10 19:29
Ziah:
Wasn’t Jimmy studying chemistry rather than law in a previous picture?
06-10 19:30
Nothere:
He can study both. But only get a degree in one.
06-10 19:30
Rush:
Cream is a coward toward McBirney.
06-10 19:30
Ziah:
Ah ok, my lack of knowledge of the US education system is showing!
06-10 19:30
Nothere:
Crazy Willie takes being called crazy rather calmly.
06-10 19:31
Phil:
Nothing like working on electrical lines…in the rain.
06-10 19:31
Rush:
‘yes.
Not very smart!
06-10 19:31
Rich in Maine:
am sure he is a licnesned electrician
06-10 19:31
Rush:
Cream needs MENTHOL cigarettes.
06-10 19:32
Godwinshelley:
Paul – looks like Mary will be at the BASH next month. She was asking who was attending.
06-10 19:32
Rush:
We have seen this lady before.
Takers?
06-10 19:32
Nothere:
Sure get drunk before enacting the risky murder plan. That’ll help.
06-10 19:32
Rush:
WB, Steve!
06-10 19:32
Phil:
Where is the bash GS?
06-10 19:32
Rich in Maine:
castle in the desert?
06-10 19:32
Rush:
No…
06-10 19:32
Hawaii_Steve:
Sorry, but I had to leave. My boss was calling me.

AH!
06-10 19:32
Matt:

06-10 19:32
Rush:
Understood, Steve!
06-10 19:33
Godwinshelley:

06-10 19:33
Nothere:
Hey Steve. Hope nothing too bad. And no Rush nothing comes to mind.
06-10 19:33
Hawaii_Steve:
Please be aware that I may have to leave again.
06-10 19:33
Rush:
I think that Steve can stay on with us now, GS.
06-10 19:33
Paul Minturn:
hey GS. yes, i’ve been chatting with Mary and she said she was planning on being there next month. Juan will be there too but Nik wont
06-10 19:33
tenman:

06-10 19:33
Rich in Maine:

06-10 19:33
Hawaii_Steve:
Aloha Godwin Shelley.
06-10 19:34
Godwinshelley:
Yes Steve
Aloha
06-10 19:34
Nothere:
No hooky. Just straight up ditching.
06-10 19:34
Hawaii_Steve:
I’m more in demand now than when I was 25.
06-10 19:34
Mike n Rachel in DC:
That’s good, Steve!
06-10 19:34
Rush:
See? Cream’s museum has PLENTY of props!
06-10 19:34
Nothere:
I’ll assume that to be a good thing Steve.
06-10 19:35
Nothere:
But not one fake newspaper. Who is this guy in the cell? Well never know.
06-10 19:35
Rush:
06-10 19:35
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Rush, we want wax figures in gas masks and faux women dissolving in vats of acid. Cream is not up to standard.
06-10 19:35
Rush:
Now that Jimmy left, McBirney: “OWWWWWWW!!!!”
06-10 19:36
Hawaii_Steve:
In the “LIVE” television industry, good can be bad.
Rush, nice still, BTW.
06-10 19:36
Rush:
“The Broadway Butterfly” was another actual case.
06-10 19:37
Rich in Maine:
wow Rush
06-10 19:37
Fredsmom:
The Bluebeard of Paris
06-10 19:37
Nothere:
Wonder what Jimmy’s head sounds like?
06-10 19:37
Rush:
And, the mention here of “Bluebeard” who was the subject of one of our extras tonight.
06-10 19:37
Phil:
GS – where is the bash being held?
06-10 19:37
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Resonant, Rush. It’s hollow.
06-10 19:37
Rush:
Yes, FM.
06-10 19:37
Paul Minturn:
has anyone read the “NEW” Charlie Chan novel?
06-10 19:38
Rush:
Yes.
06-10 19:38
Godwinshelley:
Near Pittsburgh – Mars, PA at the Marriott
06-10 19:38
Rush:
Worth the purchase.
06-10 19:38
Nothere:
Nope Paul. Didn’t even know there was one.;
06-10 19:38
Ziah:
Which novel is that Paul?
06-10 19:38
tenman:
YEs, do tell
06-10 19:38
Rush:
It is, of course, different in “feel” from the Biggers books.
06-10 19:39
Rush:
06-10 19:39
Rich in Maine:
WOW!
06-10 19:39
Nothere:
THe Drs eyes voice Never the whole Dr.
06-10 19:39
Godwinshelley:
I accidentally changed over to the TCM channel – they are showing “Psycho”, so it took me longer to figure out what happened to Charlie.
06-10 19:39
Rush:
Mrs. Rocke silently agrees with Mr. Chan.
06-10 19:40
Rich in Maine:
yes GS first Laura, then Psycho
06-10 19:40
Nothere:
Well that is a murder mystery, but its no Chan God.
06-10 19:40
Godwinshelley:
Psycho is BnW and moody like this film
06-10 19:41
Rush:
The “science” kicks in on this case….
06-10 19:42
Nothere:
The trunk line, what about the suitcase laine?
06-10 19:42
Phil:
That lawyer is such a creep
06-10 19:42
Rush:
There is a thing called freedom of Speech, Mrs. Rocke…
06-10 19:42
Nothere:
Now thats a still
06-10 19:42
Rush:
as long as there is no slander.
06-10 19:42
tenman:
There’s that ‘beautiful/crazy’ axis thing again!
06-10 19:42
Rush:
“Mr. CHAN sits here….”
06-10 19:42
Nothere:
Sorry Mary can’t be crazy thats Willies job.
06-10 19:43
Nothere:
Crime is always punished. By having to listen to our broadcast.
06-10 19:44
Rush:
06-10 19:45
Rush:
But can he read a clock?
“June 9, 1929”
06-10 19:45
Nothere:
What does the clock say? It don’t say nothing you have to look at it.
06-10 19:45
Rich in Maine:
Fried!
06-10 19:45
Rush:
95 years ago yesterday.
06-10 19:45
Nothere:
And were still arguing today, I know the wheels of justice turn slow but this is silly.
06-10 19:46
Rush:
The radio audience would be in confusion.
06-10 19:46
Phil:
Cue the can
06-10 19:46
Matt:
06-10 19:46
Rush:
TYSM…Matt…
06-10 19:46
Hawaii_Steve:
Another great still of the set. Please notice the way the set is lit. Professional.
06-10 19:46
Rush:
Pun intended, Dr. Cream?
Yes, Steve.
06-10 19:47
Rush:
Dyak headhunters – The Dyak, once a fierce and feared people, were among the original inhabitants of the island of Borneo, located in the western Pacific north of Java. In 1927, forensic doctor William Krohn set off for Borneo to collect ethnological specimens for Chicago’s Field Museum, living among the Dyak people, learning everything he could about their beliefs and way of life. The results of his work were published in his book Among the Dyak Headhunters.
06-10 19:47
Nothere:
Round up all the headhunters in San Fransico.
06-10 19:48
Rush:
06-10 19:48
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Time for a lineup, NT!
06-10 19:48
Nothere:
Chan is rather more historical. I always thought they made up the Dyak
06-10 19:49
Rush:
Here’s a nice image of the entrance to cream’s museum….
06-10 19:49
Nothere:
Wonder how far apart the interior and exterior were. Couldn’t be on the same sound stage.
06-10 19:50
Rush:
06-10 19:50
Matt:
“& Plastic Surgeon”
06-10 19:50
Rush:
Nice hat on Chan.
06-10 19:50
Nothere:
But not chess master
06-10 19:51
Rush:
automat – A machine from which food or sandwiches is dispensed.
Jimmy Chan: “That’s a toothpick from the automat.”
06-10 19:51
Fredsmom:
shoplifting at automat….:)
06-10 19:51
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Jack of All Trades, Matt…
06-10 19:52
Phil:
Man, she’s got a schnoz on her.
06-10 19:52
Nothere:
She’s alive SHES ALIVE!
Oh and you never did say where we saw her before Rush.
06-10 19:52
Rush:
By the way, I don’t recall seeing the answer to my earlier question: Which CC film was “Mrs. Rocke” in before this one?
06-10 19:53
Nothere:
I gave up
06-10 19:53
Rush:
“Charlie chan at the Opera” as the wardrobe mistress.
06-10 19:53
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Dead Men Tell, Rush?
06-10 19:53
Rich in Maine:
oh yes Rush!
06-10 19:53
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Fail.
06-10 19:54
Godwinshelley:
Rush I emailed you a photo from the Falcon in Mexico movie with the “Majorette” woman’s suit – if you want to check it out
06-10 19:54
Rush:
“Suspicion is only toy of fools.”
06-10 19:54
Nothere:
Tell him hes drunk or crazy. Killed by a quill toothpick.
06-10 19:54
Rush:
Tnak you, GS!
06-10 19:54
Nothere:
Ah npo wonder I didn’t recognize her.
06-10 19:55
Rush:
Are you suggesting that suit was possibly also from “CC at the Circus”?
Wise guy!
06-10 19:55
Nothere:
He’s your lawyer. This is his buisness.
06-10 19:55
Godwinshelley:
No I think it was a Monogram – where the daughter works in the bank and the guard is her father
06-10 19:56
Nothere:
Wise guy? Nyuck Nuyck
06-10 19:56
Rush:
We also catch a glimpse of a prop that played prominantly in “CC at Treasure Island” in this film.
06-10 19:57
Godwinshelley:
The robot that plays chess?
06-10 19:57
Rush:
Well…whomever is INSIDE the robot plays chess!
06-10 19:57
Mike n Rachel in DC:
The Pigmyarra?
06-10 19:58
Rush:
Good possibility, Mike/Rachel.
06-10 19:58
Phil:
The pygmy Rush?
06-10 19:58
Rush:
I think it appeared when Jimmy sneaked into the museum.
06-10 19:59
Rush:
Cream talks too much!
06-10 19:59
Godwinshelley:
I watched a Wheeler & Woolsey Mummy movie today – so I might be confusing these – was it a mummy case
06-10 19:59
Rush:
06-10 19:59
Nothere:
Tonga Tetragene Monocane. How is it Chartlie always runs into poision snobs.
06-10 20:00
Fredsmom:
Some of these original lobby cards go for hundreds of dollars
06-10 20:00
Hawaii_Steve:
Another great still.
06-10 20:00
Rush:
Yes, FM!
That is definitely so!
06-10 20:01
Nothere:
And Rush has one. If you think you hear a burglar next week Rush. Your dreaming.
06-10 20:01
tenman:
06-10 20:01
Rush:
The answer: The rotating mummy case used on stage during the magic show.
06-10 20:01
Godwinshelley:
I found some at the MidAtlantic Nostalgia Convention
06-10 20:01
Fredsmom:
That sounds like fun GS
06-10 20:02
Godwinshelley:
Oh good – it was the mummy case – I was watching mummy movies today – so I thought it might be from some of those
06-10 20:02
Rush:
Very good, GS!
06-10 20:02
Nothere:
Anubus approves.
06-10 20:02
Rush:
As well as Sekmut.
06-10 20:03
Godwinshelley:
The Wheeler & Woolsey one was entertaining as it does not show very often
06-10 20:03
Rush:
Willie may not be as nuts as we are led to believe!
06-10 20:03
Godwinshelley:
And Willie Best was in the Wheeler & Woolsey one too
06-10 20:04
Rush:
“Too many theories lead to too many unanswered queries…”
06-10 20:05
Rush:
Another lights out moment…
06-10 20:06
Matt:
Pop!
06-10 20:06
Fredsmom:
POP!
06-10 20:06
Nothere:
Creame should sue his electrican. But not mention all the wire fiddiling they did tonight.
06-10 20:06
Rush:
Poor Jimmy!
06-10 20:07
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Serves him right for hiring some fly-by-night electrical company
06-10 20:09
Rush:
TRANSLATION OF JIMMY CHAN’S CHINESE (CANTONESE) DIALOGUE UPON HIS DISCOVERY OF MCBIRNEY’S BODY: 1. “Come here, hurry!” 2. “There’s a dead person here!” (Below is pictured this bit of dialogue as it appears in Chinese characters on the very first page of the CONTINUITY AND DIALOGUE TAKEN FROM THE SCREEN for Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum) dated August 6, 1940.
06-10 20:09
Matt:
06-10 20:09
Rush:
TYSM…Matt…
06-10 20:09
Nothere:
Rush shows true Chan mmastery tonight.
06-10 20:09
Rush:
That is NOT the mummy case…
06-10 20:09
Fredsmom:
Yes!
06-10 20:10
Rush:
Hoever, it looks sort of like that seen in “CC in Egypt”?
There is the case!
To the right.
06-10 20:11
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Rush: Chan Master. Undisputed. Matt: Can Master. Undisputed.
06-10 20:12
Nothere:
No one heard the police banging on the door to be let in? Puny police.
06-10 20:12
Fredsmom:
06-10 20:12
Matt:

06-10 20:12
Rush:
(Blushing)
06-10 20:12
Nothere:
Mike and or Racheal most correct.
06-10 20:12
Mike n Rachel in DC:
“Suddenly there came a tapping, as if someone gently rapping, rapping on my chamber door…”
06-10 20:12
Nothere:
No good denying it Rush. Von Braun has scientific evidence. Or did before he died.
06-10 20:12
Rush:
The dummy is active again!
06-10 20:13
Godwinshelley:
quote the raven, nevermore

06-10 20:13
Phil:
Wow, and she didn’t even aim
06-10 20:14
Rush:
Degan, Degan….who uis degan!!!???

06-10 20:14
Nothere:
Sorry Rusgh Degan is to dug in for me to answer that.
06-10 20:14
Rush:
06-10 20:15
Rush:
The way Toler looks here as Chan is the look that was used for the cover of the “Charlie Cahn Mystery Magazines” fro the early ’70s.
06-10 20:15
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Not one of the most coherent plots of the Chan canon, but one of the all-time great cast of weird characters
06-10 20:16
Phil:
Shoots the dart from the right and hits him in left side of neck. Tricky.
06-10 20:16
Nothere:
Should we investigate the automat giving away blow gun toothpicks?
06-10 20:16
Mike n Rachel in DC:
That bank shot takes some practice, Phil.
06-10 20:16
Phil:
I guess.
06-10 20:16
Rush:
06-10 20:17
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Whatever happened to Lily?
06-10 20:17
Rush:
Another budding romance courtesy of CC!
OUCH!!!!

Matt:

06-10 20:17
Rush:
THE END
06-10 20:17
