Charley will end up getting this girl entangled with an important business client and almost loose his job over an evening involving at a night club involving triangulation, liquor, balloons, an engagement ring and a mustard plaster! I hate selling any of these Chase comedies, but this one is for sale. An original Film Classics print with maybe 10 splices throughout- most at the start. The main title is a little short, but complete at the end. And there is a little vinegar to this- not severe or greasy or warped. 65.00 55.00

The songs are “Were You Sincere” “Pop Goes The Weasel” and “For You” I think Festival Films and Niles both used to list this in their catalog... years ago. This looks a little dupey, but its complete and in great shape. Nice print and with decent sound of a rare early sound comedy. 125.00 95.00
