For those who have seen it, how much screen time does Shemp get in this film?

I haven't watched it in years, so this is a WAG... maybe 15-20%. He's a pivotal character in the film.

I just watched it and I timed Shemps screen time to 6 min.& 47 sec. Any movie that has Shemp play a heavy and actually shoot someone, is a must have. The scene with the horse jumping off the high dive into a tank of water isn't bad either. Try to get that against PETA today.

What does that mean...a WAG?

1920's and 1930's slang I know pretty well. But I never heard of that one, or many other currently used computer-generation "initial abbreviation" terms.

Getting out more? Okay how about a trip to Fort Washington & The Stoogeum in late April...

Actually, I'm also off to Cinefest in Syracuse next week.

Anyone else going?
Lots of rare films shown, including one Three Stooges-related: the 1941 Universal comedy TIGHT SHOES with Shemp Howard.

Regarding "WAG" - if you had given me 1,000 guesses I would never have been able to figure out what you meant by that.
Is there anyone else out there who knew what it meant?
