First in War

This Charley Chase short is a semi-sequel to his 1930 short HIGH Cs. Again, Charley is in uniform and dealing with Carlton Griffin and three other soldiers in a barbershop quartet and hijinks.

This time, instead of World War One France, they're trying to capture Luis Alberni, a Latin American revolutionary for whom Chase has written a national anthem. It's not tightly plotted compared to other Chase two-reelers; the musical interludes, comic double takes and brawls take up too much time. Still, with a supporting cast including Billy Gilbert and Jimmy Adams, it's sure to please fans of this highly inventive comedy actor/director.
