Evan,
You have hit on why so many of us love watching our old movies: For starters, they take us back when people didn't have to worry about taking time-outs to just remember to breath.

There was a graciousness about life back then, a graciousness that I think that Warner Oland had more than Toler and Winters.

(And before anyone jumps on me . . . I love all my hcan movies and I do have them all!)

I can remember sitting on my grandparents' porch with the family and swinging or playing all over it or the front or back yards . . . !

Waiting for Mother to make fudge or watching her and her mother make home-made pimento-cheese spread or cakes or pies. (They'd make cinnimon tarts with the extra pie crusts!)

Or just finding a good book to read or an old movie to watch!

Sigh,
Virginia

Dear Evan,

I hope that I will one day pass through your area so that I can do as you suggest and stop by for a Charlie Chan film with you. Who knows, perhaps it may even be on a Chat Night and we can conduct our end of the festivities from your home!

Sincerely,
Rush

WOW!!!! That would be fantastic....and a great time, its very peaseful out here in the Mountains away from everyone ...and its for dark at night out here people who are here after dark say wow! look at all those stars i've never seen so many. I guess the city and town lights must be too bright to be able to really see them in the great splender that they are,the heavens come alive,we can see many of the satelites going over head,its truely a great sightthe quietness is almost over whelming...then the coyotes sing for us...a great place to live...see you tonight i hope...Evan
