Topic: 3 Stooges Kids in 3 Little Pigskins

[Kopfy2013]

Is there any film or any dialogue printed regarding the Stooge kids in 3 Little Pigskins?  I see pictures of them but what was the plot and is there any film available that has them in there?

Why was it cut ?  Time?  or felt not appropriate?

A facsimile reproduction of the script's final page is presented in The Three Stooges Book of Scripts...

There is no documented reason for the change.  The film's final scene is a better ending, so it's a guess that it was purely an "artistic" decision.  Columbia did not retain deleted/unused footage... it was a budget-minded studio, and such film stock was returned for recycling to receive credit for the silver content of the nitrate material.

Thanks. 

My next questions were:  Do we know who they were and are any still alive? ... but then I thought to look at the filmography and sure enough the filmography list the actors ... 'Little Larry' played in at least 9 'Our Gang' films and Little Curly played in 1.  And no, none of them are still alive unfortunately.

Little Curly was profiled in Stooge Journal #81.

This is such a great website.  A ton of information at our finger tips.
