https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209500/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_179The next short, Position Wanted, is lost, so we move on to Young Oldfield. I find it mostly amusing, aside from one element.
Another Charley Chase short, and another amusing one. It starts off with Charley racing Barney Oldfield, supposedly he was a famous auto racer at the time. I believe Paul Pain is the auto racing expert on this board, maybe he can let us know more about him. Charley actually wins, and I thought it was pretty optimistic for a Chase short, but then it turns out to be a dream.
We get to a pretty bleak setting where Charley and his family can't pay the mortgage, and their property is about to be taken away. Charley has a pretty clever solution that reminds me of what Chaplin did in The Kid, gives people a cold. I like how putting on a fan is all it takes to get people sick. Just like Chaplin offered to fix windows he smashed, Chase decides to offer medicine to people who get a cold. That gives him the money, but the race is on to pay it off before they lose it. There's another appearance from one of my favorite Our Gang children, Joe Cobb.
The ending is Sennett like, ending in a chase scene, either it's not as cartoony. Unfortunately, there is a short blackface gag here. Your mileage may vary on whether that ruins the whole film or not.
Barney Oldfield and the race scene seemed to be the selling point, but that was mostly a short scene at the beginning before the main plot takes over.
