Vamp Till Ready

As was often the case, Charley Chase co-directed his own comedy short using his real name, Charles Parrott.

In "Vamp Till Ready", Charley is married to Norma...and Norma is very plain and wears old fashioned clothing. Well, after Charley makes a comment about her ugly dress, she decides to give herself a makeover--with nice hair and a lovely dress. However, when Charley sees her, he assumes she is his wife's twin sister...who's known for being vivacious. When Norma realizes this, she pretends to be her own sister and she starts coming on to Charley and see if he is the cheating sort. What's next? See the short for yourself.

While the plot is pretty familiar, it's handled very well and offers some nice laughs. Not the best thing Chase ever made, however, it's better than usual and well worth seeing.
