Seeking information for Saul Elkins as staff writer: Warner Oland era Charlie Chan films

Greetings all.

I am the great nephew of Saul Elkins, deceased writer/director/producer. My mother (his niece) and I are the only remaining blood relatives (along with an adopted nephew via his brother Michael) of Saul.

Uncle Saul on multiple occasions spoke, and was rather proud, of his work on the Charlie Chan movies. To date, the only one we have found him credited in, is "Charlie Chan at the Race Track". This is not particularly a big surprise, as I believe he was a "staff writer" at the time.

I am hoping someone may have further information that may contribute to his Wikipedia article and/or IMDb.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

Hello, Steven!

I am sorry that I have no further information regarding your great-uncle. However, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you if you could share whatever information or memories that you can regarding his thoughts on his work on "Charlie Chan at the race Track." Did he work on any other Chan movies for which he was not credited? If so, do you know which=h ones and in what capacity? Any information would be helpful to our website as well as of interest to our visitors!

Sincerely,
Rush Glick
