I have all of the german Laurel and Hardy and the DVDs have a number (?10) of the Charley Chase comedies. I believe a bit more than the British L&Hs. I am in the process of compiling what was on the german set and whats missing on the british/German DVDs. I have been delayed in finishing it due to vacations, PC problems and getting DSL- Send me a PM if you want what I have done.

I believe on the german set, there is a late Chase comedy WITH SOUND!
