FROM CHARLIE CHAN: “Unlike postman who takes walk on vacation, I am retired policeman eager for inactivity.” (“The Patient in Room 21”)

GREETINGS! As we near the end of this year’s journey through the Charlie Chan film series…and more, we share two episodes of the 1957 Charlie Chan crime drama, “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan.”

THIS WEEK’S PRESENTATION: “The Patient in Room 21” and “Voodoo Death” (Both 1957; 25 minutes); along with our “extra,” a Charlie Chan radio drama: “The Fiery Santa Claus” (27 minutes).

FEATURE INTRODUCTIONS:

“The Patient in Room 21”: Charlie Chan seeks to uncover the mystery of a doctor at a London hospital who may have been a doctor in Canada who was convicted of committing a mercy killing a decade earlier.

“Voodoo Death”: The host of a dinner at an English manor is murdered and circumstantial evidence points to a servant who is a practitioner of voodoo as the killer. Charlie Chan, who is among the guests, believes otherwise.

THIS WEEK’S IMAGE: Charlie Chan and Number One Son, Barry, discover a body.
