How was your week Matt?

Matt:
HOT, but good, thnx…..yourself?
07-22 18:31

It’s typhoon season over here, which at least brings the temperature down a bit!
07-22 18:32
Rush:

07-22 18:32

Wet, but cooler. Trade off
07-22 18:32

I can’t stay for long this morning as my 2 cats are flying to the UK today (it’s my turn on Thursday!).
07-22 18:32
Matt:
Hello Rush. Hope the A/C issue has been resolved?
07-22 18:33
Rush:
How are the two of you tonight?
07-22 18:33
Ziah:
Hi Rush! Yes, do you have power back?
07-22 18:33
Rush:
And, probably morning in Singapore?
yes, thank you!
It took time for that to return and then the Internet took a bit longer!
07-22 18:33
Matt:
Do you give them anything for the flight Ziah?
07-22 18:33
Ziah:
I’m back in HCMC now actually, but only until Thursday!

Matt:
Hello M & R!
07-22 18:35
Ziah:
Hello Mike and Rachel!
07-22 18:36
Rush:
I hope that you are both well and doingg well, M/R!
07-22 18:37
Rush:
By the way, there is a lightning storm passing through, so if I suddenly disappear, you will know why!
Hopefully no more outages!
07-22 18:37
Ziah:
Good luck!
07-22 18:37
Matt:
We are expecting the same Rush, sooooo
07-22 18:37
Rush:
Ah-ha!
Yes.
07-22 18:37
Matt:
That time of the year!
07-22 18:37
Rush:
Indeed.
07-22 18:39
Rush:
We have two extras tonight, and we can start at the :45 marK…
07-22 18:39
Matt:
Sounds good
07-22 18:40
Mike & Rachel in DC:
Great to see everyone. We are scurrying around a bit…all of a sudden the summer got busy! (with good things) 
We had our thunderstorm show this afternoon. Was like being in Florida!
07-22 18:41
Rush:
I am pulling a switch on the first one!
07-22 18:41
Mike & Rachel in DC:
The old switcheroo?
07-22 18:41
Matt:
Hmmmm
07-22 18:42
Mike & Rachel in DC:
whispers to Matt. we gotta keep an eye on this guy…
07-22 18:42
Rush:
It was going to show Los Angeles in the ’40s as some outside shots from our movie were done there…
BUT…we will do Washington DC in the time period of our movie!
07-22 18:42
Matt:
Interesting
07-22 18:43
Ziah:
Sounds good
07-22 18:43
Rush:
This is for Mike and Rachel…and, my parents met there in the FBI and were married there in 1943…
So….
This should be a much better choice!
07-22 18:43
Ziah:
Cool
07-22 18:44
Rush:
About one more minute…
07-22 18:44
Mike & Rachel in DC:
Thank you, Rush!
07-22 18:45
Rush:
Okay….ready?
07-22 18:45
Ziah:
Ready
07-22 18:45
Mike & Rachel in DC:
all set!
07-22 18:45
Rush:
15 seconds….
10…
5….
07-22 18:45
Rush:
GO!!!
Colorized and sounds added….
07-22 18:46
Mike & Rachel in DC:
there are a few more fences around this area now…
07-22 18:46
Matt:
A “few”
07-22 18:46
Rush:
Yes, I can imagine….
07-22 18:47
Rush:
I wonder if a film crew shot this for stock footage for a movie?
07-22 18:47
Mike & Rachel in DC:
hmmm…could be
07-22 18:47
Rush:
I think that those were car transport trucks….
07-22 18:48
Rush:
I didn’t preview this, so it just may be only of the Capitol!
Lots of nice vintage cars, though!
07-22 18:48
Mike & Rachel in DC:
looking ahead, there are a few more sights around the mall, Rush
07-22 18:48
Rush:
Very good!
07-22 18:50
Mike & Rachel in DC:
it seems like few people in this
07-22 18:50
Rush:
I would bet that these shots were recorded for future use in some sort of movie or travelog.
07-22 18:51
Mike & Rachel in DC:
side view of the national archives…
not a lot of action, but beautifully restored and colored
07-22 18:52
Rush:
Apologies for the static nature of this one!
07-22 18:52
Mike & Rachel in DC:
the Zen of DC, Rush.
07-22 18:53
Rush:
I can use this if I cannot get to sleep tonight!
07-22 18:53
Mike & Rachel in DC:
This must be a Sunday morning or something. Almost impossible to get daytime shots with this few people downtown!
07-22 18:54
Rush:
Oh, well….sorry!
The next one will be a bit better!
Sheesh!
07-22 18:54
Mike & Rachel in DC:
Thanks for the DC shout-out anyway.
07-22 18:54
Matt:
Thnx Rush
07-22 18:54
Rush:
That’s the nature of last-second changes, I guess!
07-22 18:55
Ziah:
No worries!
07-22 18:55
Mike & Rachel in DC:
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We are exploring!
07-22 18:55

07-22 19:00
Rush:

07-22 19:03
Matt:
Take care Ziah and good luck!
07-22 19:03
Ziah:
Not sure when I will be able to join everyone again as from next week onwards I will be in England and the time zone won’t work out too well.
Thanks Matt
07-22 19:03
Rush:
Understood, Ziah!
07-22 19:03
Ziah:
Enjoy the picture everyone. Have a great week. Hope I can join you again soon!
07-22 19:03

zAnd there you have the second one.
07-22 19:04
Matt:
Very good Rush, thnx!
07-22 19:04
Rush:
Again…sorry about the bland nature of the first.
07-22 19:06
Rush:
Obviously I didnnt preview it before we saw it as it was literally a last-second switch!
10 minutes till showtime!
“Charlie Chan in the Secret service”
07-22 19:06
Louise:
Secret Service: how relevant for recent events
07-22 19:07
Rush:
The first Monogram Picture in the series…
By chance, our calendar coincided with events, yes…
07-22 19:08
Rush:
7 minutes…
Then, next week, we share “The Chinese Cat.”
07-22 19:08
Louise:
CUED here
07-22 19:08
Mike & Rachel in DC:

Rush:
Very good….
07-22 19:11
Nothere:
Otto failed? Thats what happens when you don’t wear your monocle. The Secret Service has its own chef? So the lone gunman is the most dangerous. Racheal is there something you want to say? First rule of assination…don’t say I’m commiting an assasination before you do it.
07-22 19:11
Rush:
As always….please pause at the OPENING TITLE…
07-22 19:11

Mike & Rachel in DC:
Ominous music…
07-22 19:15
Rush:
TYSM for the gong!
07-22 19:15
Louise:
Different music
07-22 19:15
Rush:

07-22 19:16

Mike & Rachel in DC:

07-22 19:18
Mike & Rachel in DC:
his last invention was the electric bug zapper
07-22 19:18
Rush:
All suspects are there!
BB!
07-22 19:19
Nothere:
I don’t know why but I have it stuck in my head this is the one Charlie uses a skeleton as a puppet.
07-22 19:19
Phil:
Ok, he’s officially dead now.

07-22 19:20
Godwinshelley:
07-22 19:20
Matt:
SS has some explaining to do
07-22 19:20
Rush:
The “Secret Service Building”
07-22 19:20
Nothere:
You can’t do this to me I fought the Green Hornet.
07-22 19:20
Phil:

07-22 19:20
Rush:
TYSM….GS!
07-22 19:20
Rich in Maine:

07-22 19:21
Rush:
Photos on CC’s wall….
07-22 19:21
Nothere:
Ah Rich speciual this week three Chans for price of one.
07-22 19:21
Phil:
Based on the map, apparently we’re missing half the country
07-22 19:21
Rush:
FDR and Chiang Kai Shek
07-22 19:21
Rich in Maine:

07-22 19:22
Rush:
07-22 19:22

07-22 19:22
Rush:
Nice “cATCH,” gs!!!!
07-22 19:22
Phil:

Nothere:
Ah the dramativc Exiting the building scene. You don’t see that in Universal.
07-22 19:23
Louise:
So am I mistaken in thinking this film is a bit cheaply made?
07-22 19:23
Rush:
The “Yankee Doodle” notes will come into the music soon…
07-22 19:23
Mike & Rachel in DC:
The overwrought “driving in a taxi” music…sheesh
07-22 19:23
Rush:
Yes, M?R!
07-22 19:23
Nothere:
They slashed the budget Louise, but added a character. Figure that one out.
07-22 19:24
Mike & Rachel in DC:
In DC, no building can be taller than the Washington monument. That
07-22 19:24
Phil:
There it was and there it goes.
07-22 19:24
Louise:
Did they lose the sound her and so put bad music in to cover?
07-22 19:24
Rush:
M&R…
07-22 19:24
Mike & Rachel in DC:
That’s one of the coolest things about this city…lots of sky!

Yes…14.
07-22 19:27
Mike & Rachel in DC:

07-22 19:27
Nothere:

07-22 19:27

07-22 19:28
Mike & Rachel in DC:
No worries, NT. It’s easy to miss a Chan child or two

07-22 19:37

Karloff is your specialty!
07-22 19:37
Nothere:
Nothing wrong with that. I was expecting Karloff, and would also guess a bit of Talbot and Dracula.
07-22 19:37
Godwinshelley:
My interest in film started with Karloff – and my introduction to Chan was through Karloff
07-22 19:37
Rush:
And…take a bath, Tommy!

Manpower commission
07-22 20:18
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.
