What were the original films that played the Three Stooges shorts?

Dunrobin:
It might have been Men in Black, which was released less than a month before The Captain Hates the Sea.  That's just my guess, though.

True, but no Stooges short ever had one of those lush, sweeping musical scores by Max Steiner. Harry Cohn was too cheap to hire him, I guess...

Hammond Eggar:
Here's what I'm wondering now.  Were the Stooges shorts only run alongside Columbia features, or were they paired up with films from other companies, too?

archiezappa:
I don't think they were coupled with features from other studios.  Columbia relied on The Three Stooges being paired with their B-Movies.  And I read something about the whole "block booking" thing going on with theatres back then.  Not sure what all that entails.
