Re: CC's Number 1 son

I can. But I could also put you in further misery by mentioning that Chan's #1 son was listed as Henry in the novels.

Lee Chan is Charlie's number one son in the Warner Oland series beginning with "Charlie Chan in Paris". Actor Keye Luke plays Lee.

Barry Chan is Charlie's number one son in the Television series, "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan" starring J. Carrol Naish. Actor James Hong plays Barry.
Based on the description of Charlie Chan by Earl Derr Biggers, the character is a portly chinese gentleman. However, Naish's TV portrayal is more slimmer, so we assume him to be a cousin or nephew of the great detective of the same name.

BTW, I'll be featuring the television series next Wednesday in the blog Charlie Chan in Cyberspace. You can find the address at the Entrance of this site.

Hope this helps!
