Three Women
boblipton26 October 2022
Club singer Charley Chase goes with prospective fiancee Barbara Leonard to meet her mother, returning from a cruise. He expects to find an old woman. Instead he finds Isabelle Keith, with whom he flirts outrageously. Meanwhile, cigarette girl Dixie Gay, decides to play a joke on him.

Chase's second talkie is not a thing of great beauty, with a shaky plot, and some of the gags go on way too long, including one about his mouth puckering when he gets some alum in it, and a man he keeps running into at the San Pedro docks. Chase would need some time and work to get his sound work in order -- and also Thelma Todd. Still, it's of some interest for an early shot of Lionel Hampton when he was a lowly drummer for a well remembered musical group.
