Charley Chase Shorts: Volume 1

Charley Chase began as a bit actor in silent films, appearing with the legendary Charlie Chaplin, but he also showed a gift for direction and started directing the wonderful Our Gang series. This led to Chase coming to Columbia Pictures, where he directed The Three Stooges, among others. But he was most remembered for starring in a series of popular two-reel comedies for Columbia, where his quick wit and ability to do great physical comedy made him a big star. The popularity of these shorts -- and the clamor to have them released on DVD -- led to many requests by adoring fans. Now, those fans have their passion for the films of Charley Chase rewarded with restored versions of several of these comedic classics. Newly remastered.
