I understand you want to be complete when you list films. It can be a big task and, after all, you take pride in this page and want to be accurate.
I respectfuly and humbly request you consider adding a small Editor's note to the Karloff section. It could just mention his appearance in the early film "Behind That Curtain" which also contained a short reference to the character Charlie Chan. That way you may not have to do all the other inclusions.
Again, I understand if you choose not to include it. You like to keep a clean and complete Charlie Chan webpage. This might clutter it a bit.
