I'll Take Vanilla

In "I'll Take Vanilla", Charley Chase plays a door-to-door ice cream vendor. When he stops at one house, he becomes infatuated with the pretty lady and instead of going about his rounds, he sticks around for a while while she babysits her incredibly bratty nephew (Tommy Bond, of the Little Racals fame). Soon the boy ends up making Charley's life miserable...and yet he agrees to stay and watch the kid while she runs to the pharmacy. What's next? Plenty!

This is an okay Chase short....not among his better nor among his worst. It has a few funny bits but a few that also fall flat, such as the cop at the end of the film. Overall, a very mixed bag but watchable if you are a Chase fanatic. But be forewarned...although this is not a great Chase film, the ending is simply horrid. It's definitely slapstick and makes no sense whatsoever.
