How did Columbia handle the Curly to Shemp change???

(1/8) > >>

3Stooges:
Does anyone know how Columbia handled the change from Curly to Shemp as the 3rd Stooge? Did they announce the change or did the audience sit down one day to watch Fright Night and say.."Hey, that's not Curly"

Baggie:
I'm not totally sure, but I would have thought the latter. I can't have seen it being officially announced.

falsealarms:
All I know is Columbia did not want Shemp as the third Stooge b/c he looked too much like Moe. But they allowed it because Moe threatened to quit if they didn't.

xraffle:
That's an interesting question. I'm sure it was all over the newspapers.

No, Roquefort:
If not Shemp, who did the studio have in mind as the 3rd Stooge? ???
