Rush: And, of course, to save on national oil consumption.17:44
Rush: he can walk!17:45
Mike n Rachel in DC: The story I hear, Rush, is that there was plenty of oil. The real scarcity was rubber–couldn’t get it across the ocean–whereas all the oil came from Texas.17:45
Rush: AH!17:45
Mike n Rachel in DC: Another “cripple” outed by Chan.17:45

Mrs Pendleton: You changed my perspective.17:48
Rush: :)17:48
Rush: SA realization by Pop.17:48
Mrs Pendleton: This Monogram does do a lot with a small budget!17:48
Mike n Rachel in DC: 17:48
Rush: Yes, Mrs. P.17:48
Mrs Pendleton: Earlier I was saying I typically don’t watch the Monograms, but wanted to love them more.17:49
Rush: I have to say, I enjoy the Monograms. Onr of the reasons is they had to work around theit small budgets!17:49
Rush: Turn to other means of creativity!17:49
Mike n Rachel in DC: But they were quite creative17:49
pdclassicdvds: You have to be a real Chan fan to appreciate the Monogram entries into the series.17:49
Frosty: This is one of my favorites17:50
Mrs Pendleton: Very creative.17:50
pdclassicdvds: Nice salute17:50
Rush: These films really pick up on elements of the changing culture during the War years, I feel.17:50
Mike n Rachel in DC: I wonder if the director made them all come through that curtain and do something17:50
Rush: “Like talk to typhoon.”17:50
Mrs Pendleton: My Dad only liked Warner Oland as Charlie Chan17:50
Rush: Yes, that is the opinion of many, but not all.17:51
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yeah..it’s sort of like Sean Connery as James Bond17:51
Atomant: after all these years I finally now know what she was saying. Typhoon17:51
Rush: I take it to be something like Oland 51-49%.17:51
Atomant: I tend to yoyo17:52
Mrs Pendleton: Yep, but Sidney Toler was the first Chan I saw, so I love them both.17:52
Rush: AA: :017:52
Matt1: Oland was the original the everyone compares too17:52
Rush: ;), I meant!17:52
Rush: Yes, Matt.17:52
Mrs Pendleton: Dad saw the originals as they were released17:52
Mike n Rachel in DC: True…we tend to like some movies better than others. And they’re a variety of Oland/Toler’s17:52
pdclassicdvds: I like the 20th Century Fox Sydney Toler17:52
Rush: Earl Derr biggers really loved his portrayal of CC!17:52
Mike n Rachel in DC: They both did a great job carrying the films17:53
Rush: (Electric…)17:53
Rush: Fun stuff.17:53
Mike n Rachel in DC: IT’S ALIVE! IT”S ALIVE!17:53
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh. Sorry, wrong movie.17:53
Atomant: Do you watch the Roland movies too ?17:53
Matt1: I think each Chan tried to add their own….different era’s too, IMHO17:53
Mrs Pendleton: hahaha!17:53
pdclassicdvds: Roland Winter wasnt bad17:53
Rush: I have an ivory page turner with a dragon-design handle that was a gift from Biggers to Oland.17:53

Mike n Rachel in DC: Slick. Now…hopefully he doesn’t blow up the bombs17:55
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oops17:56
Mrs Pendleton: That is SO cool!!!17:56
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rush…that is beautiful.17:56
Atomant: 200 yards . They should be dead17:56
Rush: One of the more interesting things I have in my CC collection.17:56
Godwinshelley2: It is beautiful – is there any documentation verifying it17:57
Rush: Have you see the warner Oland scrapbook that I have placed in this site?17:57
Rush: It is a scrapbook I obtained a few years ago.17:57
Mrs Pendleton: No!17:57
Atomant: I need to look at the site agina.lol17:57
Mike n Rachel in DC: 200 “movie” yards, AT. Maybe it’s like “dog years?”17:57
Godwinshelley2: I think I saw it on ABE and maybe mentioned it for sale to you17:57
Rush: it id FULL of oland-related clippings going way back.17:57
Rush: I am almoct certain that it was compiled by Edith oland herself.17:58

Rush: Yes, Mrs. P!18:00
Rush: I see the resemblance!18:00
Rush: “If you’re saying that I…”18:00
Mrs Pendleton: Sounds like something I would do18:01
Rush: BB gets to demonstrate the electrocution…18:02
Rush: Vega got out of that one…18:02
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Conduct your own experiment”18:02
Mike n Rachel in DC: BB will be a good conductor, I bet18:03
Rush: (Sizzle…zap…POW!)18:03
Matt1: No wonder BB is so jumpy all the time18:03
Rush: Yes, M/R!18:03

Frosty: Wow18:04
Rush: LOTS of material collected there!!!18:04
Rush: Material from 1916-1932.18:05
Mike n Rachel in DC: von Wegen?18:05
Rush: Again, I am practically certain it was collected byMrs. oland herself.18:05
Frosty: Not him18:05
Matt1: 18:05
Godwinshelley2: That would be so great – any biographies of Oland that may have seen the scrapbook while collecting info?18:06
Rush: BB is getting a sampling of what it will be like to work with CC in the coming years!18:06
Rush: I doubt it, GS.18:07

Rush: Manpower Commission (War Manpower Commission) – In January of 1942, as the United States shifted to a wartime economy, all employment services were federalized by executive order and transferred to the United States War Manpower Commission. The goal of the War Manpower Commission was to “stabilize” employment and bring about a full utilization of the labor force by “placing a man on a job where he will use his highest skill in furtherance of the war effort, and keeping him there.” With the end of the war in 1945, the War Manpower Commission was dissolved.18:18
