A good script, good pacing and an excellent supporting cast all help make this one of the best Monogram Chan films. The one weak link among the actors is the entirely underwhelming performance of the actor playing Eddie Chan, Number 4 son. A cranky inventor lives in an old mansion, waited on by the usual group of suspicious types who make good suspects! Chan is deft as always. You can almost sense him underplaying the humor of his scenes with Number 4 son, perhaps in an old pro's response to dealing with another actor who is just painfully bad. This was that actor's lone outing in a Chan picture--mercifully, for Chan fans. Even with him in it, this is still a very enjoyable film. The motto-spouting sheriff is a nice counterpart to Charlie. Anyone who has the idea that Monogram could not make a good Charlie Chan film, should see this movie. It's a winner. SPOILER ALERT: The body count in this film stands at five! I think that might be a record for any Chan movie!

This is a brief and entertaining Charlie Chan picture, starring the second and probably best Chan Sidney Toler. The story involves an eccentric inventor who has a new formula that will revolutionize a war industry. It seems that no one likes him including every member of his household. Naturally, he is killed, and Charlie Chan must figure out who did the dirty deed. This film was produced by Monogram Pictures near the end of the Chan series. It is a neat little story and has some wonderful lines spoken by Chan to his manservant Birmingham Brown and his number Four son, played by Edwin Luke. Mantan Moreland is wonderful as Brown bringing to the role some needed comic relief.

A scientist who no one can stand is experimenting with gasses. He is killed and because the formulae for a certain type of gas is important, Charlie Chan is sent to the case. Later, he is joined by Number Four Son and Birmingham Jones, who were unable to find a hotel room. Since everyone in the house hated the professor, there is little cooperation when it comes to investigating. There are three women who move almost mechanically. When one goes up the steps, the other two follow and so on. Soon there are more murders. The house is filled with secret passages and protected areas. The problem is that many of these passageways are only known to the deceased. I liked that Mantan Moreland was treated with greater respect in this film instead of the usual treatment as a buffoon.

I am a sucker for a mystery with a spooky house, strange characters, poison darts and secret panels and this nifty Chan has all this and more. It keeps ones attention from beginning to end. The only gripe is the ending. The denouement is a bit confusing. I don't mind if it's far fetched as the Chan series is meant to be that way. Great humour, too

This Charlie Chan feature is complicated as it is simple. Charlie(Sidney Toler)is summoned to a spooky mansion to solve the murder of a renowned scientist, who is working on a gas that can turn wood into a substance hard as steel. The government is interested in this project, thus Chan on the case. The mansion is full of family and help and all loathed the deceased scientist, that may have taken his secret formula to the grave with him. Everyone is a suspect, but Chan discovers that the murderer and his wife have hidden certain identities with human puppets and masks, making victims seem alive. This black & white film is crisp and well paced. Interesting banter between Chan and his number four son Eddie(Edwin Luke); and you can always count on chauffeur Birmingham(Mantan Moreland)to provide comic relief. Other players in this 66 minute caper: Hardie Albright, Frank Reicher, Cyril Delevanti, Janet Warren and Ralph Lewis.

This film suffers from a cheapness and lack of decent plotting. Its still worth seeing, especially if you have other films to watch as well. Concerning the death of yet another inventor Charlie Chan runs around and a round the same three or four sets in what at times amounts to little more than a filmed stage play. Its not bad, just needlessly circular and confused, with a denouncement that seems to indicate that the writers were drinking heavily. This isn't to say that it's a bad film, its not. Despite my opening remark, this is a film that is frustrating more than anything, especially since the film should work better than it does, but it was undermined by the round about nature forced upon it by cost and script. 6 out of 10.

Charlie Chan, played by the inimitable Sidney Toler, plays cat and mouse with a murderer. At a spooky mansion, light and shadows, combined with dreary music and an effective script, create a suitably mysterious atmosphere. The screen story also contains considerable humor. The acting is generally wooden, except for the performance of the wonderful Mantan Moreland. The film's editing and production values are weak. At one point you can see the shadow of the crew's microphone. But then, Charlie Chan movies, in general, are not known for their high technical quality. I was disappointed with the solution to the mystery, and that's my main complaint with this film. Still, watching "The Jade Mask" is not a bad way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon, if your expectations are not too high.
