PUBLIC GHOST #1

Cinemavixion Review

In the charming short "Public Ghost #1" from 1935, audiences are treated to the comedic talents of Charley Chase, who stars as a man hired for the peculiar task of haunting a house. While the local description offers a concise premise, the external data provides a richer narrative context, revealing a plot involving a mad inventor, a case of mistaken identity, and a real estate agent's scheme to drive out homeowners. Directed by Charley Chase himself, alongside Harold Law, this short film promises a delightful blend of slapstick and situational humor typical of the era's comedy shorts. With a runtime of 20 minutes, it's a perfect, lighthearted diversion for those looking to explore classic comedic performances.
