Auction History Result 2c216 ISN'T LIFE TERRIBLE LC 1925 wacky Charley Chase in bed in store window by crowd, Leo McCarey Date Sold 12/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Isn't Life Terrible, the 1925 Leo McCarey romantic slapstick comedy short ("Some men can afford a vacation others are married."; "'What is this- a store or a slide-show?'"; produced by Hal Roach) starring Charley Chase (primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), Katherine Grant, Oliver Hardy (in an early solo appearance without Stan Laurel, as Charley Chase's brother-in-law!), Lon Poff, Leo Willis, Mary Kornman, Fay Wray, and Dorothy Morrison (she was the sister of Our Gang's Sunshine Sammy Morrison, uncredited as the "little black girl"). Note that star Charley Chase had previously worked with Oliver Hardy (he had been a major solo star in the 1910s as "Babe Hardy" in several "Fatty" comedies), and he brought him to Hal Roach. Chase had previously brought Stan Laurel to Hal Roach, and of course, it was there that the two met each other and formed their most famous comedy team (and they did not forget Chase, and included him in perhaps their best movie, "Sons of the Desert"). Finally, note that director Leo McCarey, who had directed some thirty comedy shorts in 1924 and 1925 prior to this one, would later go on to much bigger successes, including the classic "Going My Way"!
