Becoming Charley Chase

Seeing Nellie Home (1924)

(Fragment only)

Sadly this Jimmy Jump (Charley Chase) entry is incomplete as only six-minutes of the ten-minutes are still available. The available footage is from a 9.5 mm print so the quality is pretty bad as well. The story centers around Jimmy being the perfect gentleman by walking a pretty lady to her door but what he doesn't know is that she's married and her husband carries a gun. I'm not exactly sure what all is missing from this short but what remains is pretty entertaining and I might call it my second favorite from the series. What jokes are here work extremely well including a pretty smart one where Jimmy's car tire knocks the sewer cover off and when he goes to get out of his car he nearly falls down the hole. This hole will play a part in another joke as well. Once inside the house is when the real fun starts as Jimmy tries to make it downstairs without making a noise but this doesn't happen as he gets into one mess after another. Hopefully at some point the missing three-minutes will be found as this is still worth seeing in its cut form.
