I was surprised when a friend told me he wasn't aware that St. Bernard had ever had a college. After thinking about it for a moment, I realized it had been almost thirty years since St. Bernard College closed its doors. That was what motivated me to write a book about my experience there. I attended St. Bernard College from August 1966 until May 1970. It was a time when St. Bernard College strived with attendance peeking during those years. Also of significance, various sports were putting St. Bernard on the map. The 1967-68 basketball team was outstanding, winning their conference championship in one of the highest scoring games in conference history. In writing the book, I mention many other things that went on there, including campus activities, other sports and the professors, priests and students of the college. The book emphasizes two primary things: that outstanding basketball team of 1967-68 of which I was a member, and the influence Coach Charles Richard had on his athletes, students and the college itself. You will take a walk down memory lane as you read about what it was like at St. Bernard College in the late Sixties.

Charley Chase began his film career in early 1913 working as a comedian, writer, and director at the Al Christie studios under his real name, Charles Parrott. Chase then joined Mack Sennett's Keystone studio in 1914, costarring in early films of Charlie Chaplin and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, as well as directing the frenetic Keystone Cops. By 1924 he was starring in a series of one-reel comedies at Hal Roach studios, graduating to two-reel films the following year. In 1929, he made the transition to sound films. Along with the continuing popularity of his own short comedies, Chase often directed the films of others, including several popular Three Stooges efforts. In The Charley Chase Talkies: 1929-1940, James L. Neibaur examines, film-by-film, the comedian's seventy-nine short subjects at Roach and Columbia studios. The first book to examine any portion of Chase’s filmography, this volume discusses the various methods Chase employed in his earliest sound films, his variations on common themes, his use of music, and the modification of his character as he reached the age of forty. Neibaur also acknowledges the handful of feature film appearances Chase made during this period. A filmmaker whom Time magazine once declared was receiving the most fan mail of any comedian in movies, Charley Chase remains quite popular among classic film buffs, as well as historians and scholars. A detailed look into the work of an artist whose career straddled the silent and sound eras, The Charley Chase Talkies will be appreciated by those interested in film comedy of the 1920s and 30s.
