I wonder how much more could have been done (like Charlie Chan against the Nazis) if Warner Oland hadn't died in 1958.<br />Thanks for joining us, Patricia, it was great to have you among our guests!<br />Kisses!<br />LeLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-85290628367163873882016-11-17T16:19:38.830-08:002016-11-17T16:19:38.830-08:00Hi Caftan Woman.

I always enjoy movies with Keye Luke. Thank you for sharing.

The best of them were produced by Twentieth Century Fox starring Warner Oland and then Sidney Toler. Many are available on YouTube and run about 70 to 80 minutes. I think you would enjoy them.
