Thank you for sharing the information about your grandfather's stage work with Sidney Toler. I suspect his story was the truth from his perspective. So often those who rise to stardom later in life (Toler took on the Chan role at age 65)might seem as anything but during their early years.
For a very complete list of the aphorisms uttered by Charlie Chan during the Charlie Chan film series, please look elsewhere at this Web site by clicking on "Aphorisms."
Thank you, again, Paul, for sharing about your grandfather's experience with one of the Charlie Chans!
