login Daddy sent the postcard on July 23, 1945. After visiting the zoo, he could have taken in a movie, namely The Shanghai Cobra. Lucky Dad. The Shanghai Cobra was a Charlie Chan film starring the great Sidney Toler and Mantan Moreland. It was a Monogram Pictures release and it doesn't have quite the production qualities of earlier Chan movies but it does have lots of fun, somewhat quirky scenes in it. For instance, the movie starts out in a greasy spoon restaurant where the cook has made a glorious pot of beef stew and yet everybody that comes in wants coffee instead. There is a jukebox there that you walk up to and a voice comes out of it, asking what you want to hear. A lady, situated in another building, has voice and video connection via the jukebox and she can see and hear what goes on in the restaurant. Anyway, if she has the record requested, she will play it for you, for a nickel.
