Good takes.

Although I prefer the Fox films ("Charlie Chan's Secret" is indeed my all time favorite), IMO the personality and feel is still there in the Toler Monogram films.

If I had to choose from the Monograms, I'd say Toler's last film "The Trap" is my favorite of those later post-Fox films.

To be honest though, can't say I care much for the Winters films. The ingenuity's still there, but Winters' acting seems pretty stilted with absolutely none of the easy humor of the earlier films.
