Yair Solan assures me that Charley Chase (seen in the above pic with Our Gang's Spanky McFarland) was born Charles Joseph Parrott and that Charley Chase was a stage name. Several books say otherwise but I'm going to believe Yair because he's the proprietor of the Charley Chase website — a fine place to remember a largely-forgotten comedian. Most of the guys of that era who are forgotten were forgettable at the time but not Charley. I'll see if I can feature one of his films here in the next few days so you can see why I like him so.
