Our Monday Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Charlie Chan at the Race Track"
It’s Melbourne Cup Night, again!
Please plan on joining us for our Monday Evening Chat and Film Viewing as we gather to watch and discuss “Charlie Chan at the Race Track,” starring Warner Oland. On this evening we will be celebrating the running of the famous Melbourne Cup race as is depicted in our featured film. This is an annual event, during which numbers for each horse in the race are handed out randomly. The one holding the lucky number of the actual winner of the race later that evening, will win a vintage Chan-era silver 50-cent piece in honor of Mr. Chan’s bet of that same amount as seen in our movie. Besides the race, we have a great movie that we will be sharing, which pits Charlie Chan and Number One Son, Lee, against an international gambling ring!
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. (If you do NOT have a copy of “Charlie Chan at the race Track,” it can be found online at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwb-d92eQRY )
So, let’s get together for another fun Monday evening as we join “Charlie Chan at the Race Track.”
