Please consider joining with us for this week’s Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing as we watch and discuss “Mr. Moto's Gamble,” starring Peter Lorre as Mr. Moto, and featuring Keye Luke as Lee Chan. I a movie that began production as "Charlie Chan at the Ringside," we find Number One Son, Lee, attending a criminology class taught by Moto. Teacher and student Lee witness a murder in the boxing ring, and then work together to solve the crime.
We begin, as usual, at 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time with arrivals and greetings and a trip to Virginia’s virtual beverage cart. Then, thirty minutes later, we begin running our personal copies of this very worthy film, which allows us to watch it together as our evening’s discussion progresses.
Our Chat Room is located HERE at our Charlie Chan Family Home. Please use any of the “Chat Room” links to join us.
Even if you do not happen to have a copy of our featured movie, please do join us, as you will NOT be left out of our ongoing chat and festivities. Also, as is our custom, newcomers are offered the seat of honor at our humble table.
So, let’s get together for yet another fun Monday evening as we gather to watch “Mr Moto's Gamble.”

I just saw MR. MOTO'S GAMBLE online at www.veoh.com, for the first time in nearly fifteen years. My question is, what is it doing there? I don't think MR. MOTO`S GAMBLE is public domain, yet there it was on VEOH in its entirety.
I have seen Charlie Chan movies appear online, then disappear. No doubt, you were fortunate to see "Mr. Moto's Gamble" before it eventually gets removed. That film is definitely NOT in the public domain.
As I thought. I was surprised to see Lon Chaney junior in the movie as a thug named Joey, though. His presence in MR. MOTO'S GAMBLE really made my week. Mr. Chaney went on to portray the three movie monsters - Frankenstein's Creature, the Wolf Man, and Dracula.
Thank you for including "Mr. Moto's Gamble" in the Chan film line-up. Given its evolution, it is most appropriate to join Lee Chan in a Mr. Moto mystery.
It was nice to hear the referances to Charlie too.
