    Charley in a "dual role"!
    In this short we see an early version of what would later be Chase's "milquetoast" character, a hen-pecked husband in glasses who is afraid of his wife. But he also plays his own twin brother in order to see just how far his wife will go with another man, one who dresses sharp and loves to go out dancing.

    Chase's reactions toward the camera are great, and show the surprise and frustration the "husband" is feeling before switching back to the "brother" character. There's also some good physical comedy.

    While not his tip-top best, this is a good little Chase short worth watching!
