Our Monday Evening Chat film for this week: "Charlie Chan on Broadway"

FROM CHARLIE CHAN: “To know forgery, one must have original.”

This week we continue along on our Charlie Chan Film Tour 2017, joining Mr. Chan and Number One Son, Lee, as they return from Europe following the latter’s participation in the Berlin Olympic Games. Even before their ship docks in New York City, father and son are finding themselves drawn into a case involving corruption and murder!

As is our custom, we begin arriving at 7:30 Eastern Time, we will be sharing, before our featured presentation, an “extra” in the form of a vintage Charlie Chan continuing radio drama! Following our “extra,” we will collectively run our feature at 8:15!

OUR PRESENTATIONS:

“The Landini Murder Case” (part 24) radio program (1936; Runtime: 14:40)
“Charlie Chan on Broadway” (1937; Runtime: 65 minutes)
FEATURE SUMMARY: Billie Bronson, having left the country hurriedly a year earlier when sought as an important witness in a political scandal, has returned to New York City to "blow the lid off the town." Later, Billie is mysteriously murdered and Charlie Chan is summoned from a police banquet in his honor. While seeking a motive for her murder, a second killing is discovered in the hotel room of Chan and son Lee. A package is missing from the detective's trunk and it is realized that it must have contained Billie Bronson's inflammatory diary. Chan must piece together a string of clues in order to find the killer.

FILM NOTE: Thomas Beck is listed as a cast member in early ‘Hollywood Reporter’ cast charts, but his participation in the final film is doubtful.

TIME: We begin with arrivals and greetings at 7:30 EASTERN TIME. Then, we share our “extra,” which will be followed at exactly 8:15 (EDT) when we share our featured presentation “Charlie Chan on Broadway.”

LOCATION: Our Charlie Chan Family Chat Room, which is accessed at http://www.charliechan.info/id17.html.
