Tonight's Monday Evening Chat: "The New Adventures of Charlie Chan"

“Patience can find smallest needle in largest haystack.” (Charlie Chan - “Three Men in a Raft”)

This week, our journey through the realm of Charlie Chan films takes us to the 1957 crime drama series, “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan,” which starred J. Carrol naish as Charlie Chan and featured James Hong as his Number One Son...Barry! The two adventures that we will be sharing are: “Three Men on a Raft” and “No Future For Frederick.”

Please join us in our Chat Room which is located at our Charlie Chan Family Home: www.charliechan.info, and use any of the “Chat Room” links to join us. We begin with arrivals and greetings at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and we roll our personal copies of our film exactly 15 minutes later (8:15).

FILM NOTES:
“The New Adventures of Charlie Chan” was a joint British/American production that was produced in 1958. It stars J. Carrol Naish, and actor twice nominated for Academy Awards who was well-known for his multitude of ethnic roles in the movies, radio, and television. Also, it was Mr. Naish who played Gangor the Snake Charmer in “Charlie Chan at the Circus” with Warner Oland. James Hong, as Number Two Son, Barry, was at the very beginning of what is, today, a VERY lengthy film and television resume.

Even if you cannot access a copy of the above-noted film(s), please do join us anyway, 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. Many of our films, such as this week’s entry, may be found available for viewing online through such outlets as YouTube, etc. SAD NEWS…this week’s films ARE NOT available at YouTube, but with a search of the Internet, may be available elsewhere.

NEXT WEEK (January 26) “The Black Camel,” starring Warner Oland with Bela Lugosi.

Please take care, have a pleasant Monday, and let’s all get together for another Chan-filled evening of fun and sharing as we watch “Three Men on a Raft” and “No Future for Frederick.”

Sincerely,
Rush Glick
