Re: Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Charlie Chan in Shanghai"
Hi Lou ,
Yes , when I was in Shanghai I stayed at the hotel that Oland likely stayed at when he visited Shanghai , The Astor House . All the Hollywood people stayed there and today you can book the room that Chaplin stayed in with Paulette Goddard , or Einstein's room , etc . So I had the privilege of dining in the fantastic Peacock dining room and wondering if Warner had tried to get his favourite sardines there . He rubbed elbows with the high and mighty in Shanghai , in scenes that would have made a good movie in their own right .
I was in Taiwan in December , South Korea later this month , North Korea next month . I have to do a 10km fun run in NK to raise funds for an orphanage there . I haven't run 10km in 45 years ! So it will be 'interesting' on many levels !
Regards , STEVE
