Viewing Notes

First Chan with Sidney Toler in the titular role (Warner Oland passed away in the previous year). After viewing all the Oland CC films this one took a minute to warm up to. They also kicked Keye Luke to the curb, which sucks, bc he was so good as the dunderheaded number one son.

Also another cruise ship mystery!
