Myrtle Mae as a Japenese!

Warning: Spoilers
I will not do a real review of this excellent serial as that has already been done by a very capable writer. Just want to make a couple of observations of some cast members. In checking Virginia Horne on IMDb who played the large role of Japanese lady Nabura I was surprised that she was a comediene who had the role of Myrtle Mae in "Harvey" starring James Stewart. She was the lady who made egg and onion sandwiches. Then there were the actors Keye Luke and Benson Fong on opposite sides, Luke playing a Chinese and Fong a Japanese. Both men had played sons in the Charlie Chan movies. Both had also played the same character in the stage versions of "Flower Drum Song" and Fong went on to play the character in the movie version.
