Message:   I know I will probably get flamed for saying this, but I was very disappointed with the Kay Linaker extra on Volume 4. I don't know how long the interview was conducted, nor what was edited. But Miss Linaker was in 4 Chans: "Monte Carlo", "Reno", "Rio", and as an ectoplasm in "Treasure Island." I fully expected the "extra" to be a collection of anecdotes and observations about her roles in those films. I was particularly looking forward to hearing her impressions of Oland as Chan versus Toler as Chan. The icing on the cake would have been her story about filming the Dr. Zodiac seance scene.
Several years back, I flew out from Maryland to meet Marc Lawrence at an autograph show in Studio City. When he asked me what role he did I most enjoyed, I replied Steve McBirney in "Wax Museum." I asked him his recollections of the movie, and showed him some photo/scene captures I had done on the computer from the video. He was very gracious to take the time to tell me his impressions of the movie and his fellow actors, which was quite a thrill for me. I wish someone had done the same with Miss Linaker. From the "extra", she struck me as someone with a sharp memory, and the ability to tell a good anecdote.
