In response on Facebook, the Warner Archive said of the six shorts Arbuckle did at Vitaphone: "... we'll be releasing them in the not-so-distant future."
Hopefully that does happen. Shemp is in a pair of them, IN THE DOUGH and CLOSE RELATIONS. If they do get released, I'd imagine they'd need to be remastered. They've remastered some poor looking titles in the past (
