Rush: WELCOME!!!
mda19083: warm one here in the Philadelphia environs
Rush: Yes?
Rush: Summer simmer…
mda19083: I am wearing my aloha shirt to stay cool
Rush: Perfect!
mda19083: when did hawaiian shirts become aloha shirts?
Matt1: In Hawaii they’re called “shirts”
mda19083 has left this room
mda19083 has joined this room
Rush: That’s what they are meant to express.
Rush: 🙂
mda19083: aha – makes sense to me now
Hawaii_Steve: MDA, a long time ago.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Aloha to MDA/shirt 🙂
Hawaii_Steve: Aloha shirts, not Hawaiian shirts.
mda19083: Steve – i’m old but i don’t remember the change in terminology
Rush: In about 5 minutes we can share the first “extra.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Are those the bright print shirts?
mda19083: Mike – that is what I believe
Hawaii_Steve: The Extras for tonight relate to the war effort on the homefront.
Mike n Rachel in DC: I’ve always been curious whether the designs originally had meanings…or designated families, etc.
mda19083: cued here with the extras
Rush: And, the first one vaguely brings to mind what the scientist, Harper, is working on in our movie tonight!
Hawaii_Steve: The locals have called the color tropical shirts ALOHA SHIRTS since the 1930s. People from the mainland call them Hawaiian shirt.
Rush: Who knows, perhaps it gave the writers an idea that they expanded on, if only from the title!
mda19083: Steve – that explains it as i am from the mainland
Rush: 🙂
Hawaii_Steve: There are several movies and TV episodes, produced in Hollywood & NY, that call the shirts Hawaiian shirts.
Rush: The aloha shirt (Hawaiian: palaka aloha[1]), also referred to as a Hawaiian shirt, is a style of dress shirt originating in Hawaii. They are collared and buttoned dress shirts, usually short-sleeved and made from printed fabric. They are often worn untucked, but can also be worn tucked into the waist of trousers. They are worn casually or as informal business attire in Hawaii.
“Aloha Friday”, a now-common tradition of celebrating the end of the workweek by wearing more casual attire on Fridays, initially grew out of an effort to promote aloha shirts.
Rush: (From Wikipedia)
mda19083: we should have an aloha monday some night in the chat room
Hawaii_Steve: Rush, exactly. Thank you.
Rush: Okay! Steve will you please introduce our first extra?
Mike n Rachel in DC: They’re great for hot, humid climates (like DC)…and fun to wear.
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Hawaii_Steve: There is one Chan film in which the musicians wear aloha shirts. Monogram. Rush, title?
Rush: “The Tree in a test Tube”

Rush: And, there will be a “Tree in a Test Tube” so to speak, in our movie tonight!
Mike n Rachel in DC: They look a little different than in the other films I remember…though they’re older here, too
Rush: They were both over 50 by this film.
Hawaii_Steve: “Tree” was shot on 16mm color film stock during a lunch break, 1942.
Rush: AH!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Very cool story. Probably the film came from trees too.
Rush: So they were working on one of their MGM films.

Mike n Rachel in DC: sounds like a country song, LDM. “I forgot to remember to forget…”
Rich Maine: XYZZY
Rush: Sliding panels, electric eyes, remote-controlled gates…and MORE…as we will see!
Los Dos Masqueros: Wheels are turning in a hundred heads re sweeping this guy off the floor pronto.

Los Dos Masqueros: MnR: From Wish!!

Mike n Rachel in DC: Creepy cop
Rush: Yes.
hounder: why wear a gas mask if you’re gonna take it off?

Mike n Rachel in DC: But I thought you were Rich. 🙂
Rich Maine: It’s the dummy talking
Los Dos Masqueros: Anybody remember the FIRST “Thin Man” movie? Son Eddy reminds me of the poindexter young man who tried to dupe Nick & Nora.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh, the creepy younf guy? Yes, he does.
Mike n Rachel in DC: *young*
Los Dos Masqueros: Lucky for everybody Chan not driving.
Godwinshelley2: The brother who keeps talking about complexes?
Rush: Regarding an earlier message, Benson Fong (Tommy) was really busy with films other than Chan movies in 1944!
Rush: He may have been working on “30 seconds Over Tokyo” when this one was filmed.
Rich Maine: Sheriff Mack!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Aha…thanks. So it was a practical substitution.
Rush: YES!
Rush: A favorite of mine in the series!
Los Dos Masqueros: YES, GS!!! Yes indeed! That’s a great film, to me; it begged for another. The supporting characters in that one were all strong, too.
Rich Maine: What else was sheriff in?
Rush: This is his only Chan appearance.
Godwinshelley2: Reno
Los Dos Masqueros: PAINFUL nausea.
Rich Maine: Ah yes Reno!
Rush: “Tombstone” Fletcher…
mda19083: horse feathers
Rush: Slim Summerville.
Los Dos Masqueros: Sheriff could be a combo of John Goodman’s character in The Big Lebowski, and Breaking Bad’s Walter White.
Rich Maine: STELLA!
Rush: Or…vice-versa?
Rush: “Giggles”
Rush: By the way…did I miss Matt’s (tin Can)?
Rich Maine: No, no dB yet
Rush: Harper.
Rich Maine: He is missing now
Los Dos Masqueros: Mr.Meeker seems a combo of Hannibal Lecter, Jack Nicholson and, of all people, Frasier Crane.
Rush:
Matt1: Sorry!
Rush: That’s okay!
Mike n Rachel in DC: a new Monogram touch…fog window
Rush: It was not made obvious!

Los Dos Masqueros: Calllllllll forrrrrrrrrr annnnnother bellboy! Calllllll forrrr….
Rush: I place this on on Long Island, close to NYC.
hounder: being how as i’m unacustomed to murder….
Rush: Chan noted he “has to be in washington tomorrow.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Short train ride…
Rush: Yes.
Los Dos Masqueros: hounder: we liked that line too!

Los Dos Masqueros: (22:00)?
Rush: Near to the coast.
Rush: 22:25
Rush: 22:45
Los Dos Masqueros: Kid needs a dope-slap.

Los Dos Masqueros: Well, SHET MY MOUF!

hounder: i like tombstone’s quips
Dona: I like him too
Rush: “…it’s what they DON’T know that’ll kill you.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: He’s a very likable character
Rush: Agreed.
Rich Maine: A tombstone and BB combo….priceless
Dona: That would be Rick
Dona: Rich
Rush: Sheriff…you are not exactly a “lady killer” yourself!
Rush: (knock, knock, knock…)
Rush: “Over-sized decision with under-sized brain.”
Los Dos Masqueros: Scholars / archivists here: is Edwin Luke here a relation of Keye?
Rush: YES!
Rush: His actual brother!
Los Dos Masqueros: I’d be looking to sell the motorcycle first off.
Rich Maine: Wow rush! Older?

Los Dos Masqueros: George Burns used to do the Peabody.
mda19083: stick out your can . . . here comes the garbage man
Rush: 🙂
Los Dos Masqueros: Sullen group o’ suspects.
Rush: Yes they are.
Los Dos Masqueros: Ain’t that a kick in the head?
Rush: Michael strong looks like a dark cloud hovers over him!
Los Dos Masqueros: Miss Harper’s bizarre.

Los Dos Masqueros: Poor guys couldn’t dodge dart.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Couldn’t afford one either
Rush: Another projectile…
Los Dos Masqueros: Nobody mentions what government.

Los Dos Masqueros: Nobody can shut off the gas?
Rush: “If silence is golden…you are BANKRUPT.”
Los Dos Masqueros: mda: Panel includes Bennett Cerf, Dorothy Kilgallen & Steve Allen!
Los Dos Masqueros: And Peggy Cass!
Rush: I had a teacher in Jr. High who would tell students: “Silence is golden, shut up and get rich!”
mda19083: what about arlene francis?

Dona: I need to remember that
Rush:

Los Dos Masqueros: Rush, i’ll steal that quip!

Rush: Quick!
Godwinshelley2: Was she on I’ve Got a Secret?
Mike n Rachel in DC: nice that they put an outlet in the safe
Rush: On some quiz show for sure.
Los Dos Masqueros: Rich, you are quite right. I’m just old enough to barely remember Miss Kilgallen, and she was quite celebrated in serious circles. She was definitely offed. This weekend, by the way, was the 60th anni of Marilyn’s suspicious exit.
Rich Maine: She was investigating mob
Rush: That’s right, LDM!
Rich Maine: Several you tube on her.
mda19083: she is sleeping with the fishes now

Rush: Joe Dimaggio had thoughts on her demise…
Rich Maine: Poor Stella
Rush: Drag her out of there!
Rush: The door might close!
Los Dos Masqueros: Lemme guess: they SAVE HER. Cuz women weren’t allowed, under Code, to get x’d; right?
Rush: Chan is definitely “no-nonsense”!
Mike n Rachel in DC: No. Tin for cans was rationed and they’ve already used their tin can ration for this film…
Rush: I hope Cc has memorized the combo!
Los Dos Masqueros: Did it not occur to anybody in the War Department that TETRAGENE might serve—or even good ol’ wartime Mimeograph Fluid?
Rush: yes, Mike!
mda19083: LDM – even TETRAGENE was rationed
Los Dos Masqueros: “That horrible room where the desk is”: Think how the DESK feels.
Rush: yes, MDA!
Rich Maine: Desk was ikea
Los Dos Masqueros: She just got here from a non-pony country.
Rush: “open wide…”
Los Dos Masqueros: Those faces COULD freeze a clock.
Matt1: <tin can>
Rush:
Mike n Rachel in DC: new ration book 🙂
Rush: Michael Strong got it in the nose!
mda19083: life masks – they should be called death masks
Rush: Once the victim is deceased, yes.
Los Dos Masqueros: ‘EARS’ proof!!
Rich Maine: Spock ears
