Sophisticated, satiric, and at times surreal, Charley Chase was a master of situation comedies, concentrating on the frustrations of everyday life in a way to which audiences could relate. Centering around situations that anyone could find themselves in, his plots built towards increasingly absurd situations, with Chase showing himself time and time again to be a charming, carefree comic genius. SLAPSTICK SYMPOSIUM presents a collection of rare shorts that are sure to entertain.
