Description:
The Golden Era for comedian Charley Chase and the Hal Roach Studios was in the late 1920's, and in 1927 Chase was the Roach Studio's #1 star. His films were some of his best from the silent era, and have been virtually unseen since their original release. This set of 15 comedies is the result of a world-wide search for surviving film material and subsequent 2-year restoration project.
Charley Chase At Hal Roach: Late Silents (1927) on Blu-Ray from KIT PARKER FILMS is a must-have collection for classic comedy enthusiasts. This release brings together some of the finest silent short films starring Charley Chase, one of the most beloved comedians of early Hollywood. The set features restored versions of his late 1920s works produced at the legendary Hal Roach Studios, known as "The Lot Of Fun."
