Happy Birthday, Warner Oland !!!

Happy Birthday Warner!! Without you my all-time GREATEST Detective would never have made such a impact on film. Thus, giving me a wonderful way to enjoy mysteries on Saturdays and hence start my collecting!

P.S. You'll live on in film History. IMHO your Chan character is much more than any Sherlock Holmes.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Oland!

I will be watching "Tell It To The Marines" tonight as it airs at 9:00 Pacific Coast time.

Sincerely,
Rush Glick
