Leo McCarey Directs

Before his Oscar-winning work of the 1930s and '40s, prolific filmmaker Leo McCarey directed silent comedy star Charley Chase in a variety of hilarious shorts. This program features four of their funniest collaborations, including "Jeffries Jr." (1924)─in which Chase's famous character Jimmy Jump takes boxing lessons from real-life pugilist James J. Jeffries; "Fighting Fluid" (1925), which finds Jump wooing his boss's daughter; "Bad Boy" (1925), involving the hijinks that ensue when Jump gets his first post-college job; and "Innocent Husbands" (1925), featuring Chase as a husband suspected of infidelities. 57 min. total.
