FYE here is a scan of the ad slick for the upcoming Charley Chase DVD set from AllDay Entertainment. Click on the image (R) to see it full-size. The set is called Becoming Charley Chase and will feature all the extant Jimmy Jump shorts as well as films Chase appeared in while at Keystone and a few he directed as well. I’m scoring about a dozen of these, and have done several commentary tracks with fellow NY-area historians Steve Massa, Bruce Lawton, Robert Arkus, Yair Solan and Ken Gordon.
The set is due out in January of 2009, so make sure a pre-order is on your Xmas/holiday hint list!
Monday night I play for Caligari at MoMA, and have decided to accompany on piano. Should be fun…also on the bill is L’Hippocampe, the avante garde film where a seahorse gives birth etc.
See you at the silents!
