Re: OUR CCF MONDAY EVENING CHAT AND FILM VIEWING FOR April 26: “Charlie Chan in Honolulu”
Dear Rush, a question if I may. Reference the trivia:
TRIVIA: A tribute to Warner Oland appears in the film “Mr. Moto's Last Warning,” starring Peter Lorre. In one scene during a quick passing shot over the title "Charlie Chan in Honolulu," starring Warner Oland, on the bill of the Sultana Theatre of Variety, they placed the banner "Last Day."
I've never seen "Mr. Moto's Last Warning" or this tribute/banner to Warner Oland. Since Oland never did star in "Charlie Chan in Honolulu" (and Toler did) was this banner specially made up for Warner Oland's death? What I mean is was there a play bill at the Sultana Theatre with Oland's name on it (vice Toler's) at one time? :thinking_face: Thank you so much.

Wow! Thank you so much. So I take it this playbill was specially created for the "Moto" movie as a tribute to Oland. That is pretty indicative of how popular Warner Oland, and Detective Chan, were at the time. Thanks again, Lou
