Dear Roy,

Wonderful news! I think that your Chan film series will provide many happy hours for the residents. In many cases, old memories of childhood will doubtless be revived.

As far as using "grey market" copies of Charlie Chan movies until that happy day arrives when ALL Chan adventures can be had through authorized, commercially produced material, you may wish to consider getting a set as a temporary measure. Yes, the quality will not always be up to what we will hope for in the future, but it will certainly be adequate for group viewing. At least in this way you will be able to keep the ball rolling.

I think that one film per event is adequate, maybe a "double feature" from time to time. In this way, you can have your Chan soirees go on fairly indefinitely with little repetition. Later, you could encourage request for your viewing public's favorite Charlie Chan films. Maybe on occasion, you could have a Chan/Moto or a Chan/Wong double bill.

Again, congratulations. Your hard work definitely paid off...

Sincerely,
Rush
