No, that's not Charley Chase...it's his brother Paul Parrott in "POST NO BILLS" (1923) with a new score by Ben Model, performed on the mighty Miditzer virtual theatre organ.

JImmy Parrott had a successful series of one-reelers at Hal Roach in the early 1920s, billed onscreen as Paul Parrott, before moving behind the camera and directing; his directorial credits list him as James Parrott. The shorts are inventive and funny, and you can see why they are often misidentified as early Charley Chase shorts. More info about Chase can be found at [ Ссылка ]
