shorts from 1924-1926
Rating: none
Plot: Various
This was a long, silent two hours.
How about these for 1920's comedy titles:
"Mum's the Word"
"Long Fliv the King" (What?)
"All Wet"
"Mighty Like a Moose"
"Crazy Like a Fox"
"April Fool"
The titles might be funnier than the actual movies. There's a cute barber shop highlight in "Mum's the Word," and you get to see Oliver Hardy in a couple of these things, but I wouldn't say the majority of this is worth watching.
The exception is "Mighty Like a Moose" which definitely is worth watching for fans of farcical silent comedy. There's an O. Henry-esque plot in this one that is a lot of fun although the whole thing seems a little mean-spirited.
There's a volume 2 of Charley Chase films released by Kino, but I can't think of a reason I would watch it.
