Agnes63 Posted September 3, 2009 I had the film before it on! I had a glitch with my electronics, and I turned the power off after the film was over to restart the satellite box , and was really shocked to see Charley Chase on when the satellite came back up. I had checked the schedule, and there were no shorts scheduled for that time. I certainly would have waited another 20 minutes to restart the satellite box had I known that a Charley Chase short ( that I hadn't seen before ) was on! I only saw the second half of it - I believe that it is called "Four Parts". My favorites are the Roach shorts! Could TCM please air "Four Parts" again and list it on the schedule? I would really like to see this one from the start. Message was edited by: Agnes63 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
talkietime Posted September 3, 2009 TCM has other "phantom" shorts that don't show up in the online schedule. I'm thinking of the S.S. Van Dine mystery shorts from Vitaphone. These are sometimes used as "fillers" with Silent Sunday features. So far I've been able to catch three of these but I've missed at least one, perhaps more.

musicalnovelty Posted December 27, 2009 Charley Chase short coming up? On Sept. 3 TCM ran the Charley Chase short FOUR PARTS (1934) unlisted after the movie FOUR WIVES. A lot of people missed it because it wasn't on the schedule. We may br getting a second chance to see it on Monday, Dec. 28. The movie FOUR WIVES is coming on again, and there's no short listed in the schedule after it, but there's time for one. So everyone, tune in and let's hope we get to see the great Chase short FOUR PARTS. Okay, it's a long shot, I know...but it could happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

musicalnovelty Posted July 13, 2010 Hal Roach short coming! THE CHASES OF PIMPLE STREET (1934) - Charley Chase. Wednesday, July 14 at 7:39 P.M. (eastern) This is the Chase short in which he and leading lady Betty Mack sing the popular tune of the day, "You Gotta Give Credit to Love". Most Chase fans consider his songs to be highlights of the films. They're catchy, clever, and frequently do fit in with the story. Chase wrote many of the songs himself, often sharing co-writing credit with Roach studio resident musical genius Marvin Hatley, and others such as actors Billy Gilbert, Eddie Dunn, and also writer - director Walter Weems. "You Gotta Give Credit to Love" is one of the best, and is performed charmingly by Chase and Miss Mack. But something that many Chase fans may not know is that this was actually NOT a Chase or Hatley original. It was a hit song already popular at the time it was included in this short. It was written by the team of Sigler, Goodhart & Hoffman (but Charley Chase did provide a few lines of parody lyrics for his version). The song was recorded on 78 RPM records by the bands of Johnnie Davis and Don Bestor (I have both) in September and October 1934 and so would still have been currently being heard on the radio at the time this Chase short was released on December 22, 1934.

musicalnovelty Posted November 29, 2012 Exciting news for Charley Chase fans, announced Nov. 28, 2012: SONY/Columbia has announced the long-awaited DVD release of their Charley Chase shorts, Volume One. Release date is expected to be January 1, 2013. Shorts included: Man Bites Lovebug (1937) The Mind Needer (1938) The Chump Takes a Bump (1939) Rattling Romeo (1939) Skinny the Moocher (1939) The Awful Goof (1939) The Heckler (1940) South of the Boudoir (1940) A Nag in the Bag (1938) (Starring Smith & Dale, directed by Charley Chase). With only 8 of the total of 20 Chase shorts included in this volume, I expect they may spread the remaining 12 out over two more volumes and include more shorts Chase directed starring others.

hoytereden Posted November 9, 2013 Darn! Second time I've missed recording Manhattan Monkey Business. Anybody out there with a copy? My own fault too since I recorded all the Nurse themed movies the prior evening (my time zone) and didn't bother to check today's schedule. Double Darn!!!!

musicalnovelty Posted January 6, 2014 I'm concerned that the Columbia Charley Chase short THE HECKLER (1940) that was scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 no longer appears to be on the schedule. Neither does the 1936 Three Stooges Columbia short DISORDER IN THE COURT, also scheduled for Jan.7. Maybe they'll still be shown, but it would be nice if they were listed so viewers can know when to catch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
