Edwin Luke

Edwin Luke, who plays Edward Chan in this week's Monday Evening Chat film, was Keye Luke's younger brother by seven years. It seems that it was HE who first introduced his elder brother to Charlie Chan. In a mid-1980s interview, Keye Luke noted how he first heard of Charlie Chan: “Before I went to Hollywood, I was in Seattle, and my brother used to say to me, ‘Hey, you ought to read these stories about this Chinese Detective in The Saturday Evening Post. Oh, he's so clever!’” The brother mentioned would be none other than Edwin Luke!

Take a look at "The Jade Mask" to see Edwin Luke as Chan's Number Four Son...Edward!

Sincerely,

Dear Rush,

Very nice Chan trivia. I remember reading that wonderful article. Thank you for sharing it with us.
