Charley Chase Has Entered The Twilight Zone

Charley Chase recounts to doctor James Finlayson a peculiar condition: every once in a while, time freezes; and sometimes, when it freezes, he holds a conversation with whoever he is with, with major consequences.

Chase liked to do these weird, scientifictional comedies every once in a while, and this one started off his final year at Roach. Joyce Compton.is fine in her last of three shorts as Charley's leading lady. Fin gives a couple of glares, and unlike the other reviewers, I think this is a great one; certainly, with Roach shutting down shorts production, there's a good deal of real-life subtext in this one.
