Have fun, be creative.  Examples.

You Nazty Spy and I’ll Never Heil Again with The Great Dictator

Boobs in Arms and G.I. Wanna Home before a double feature of Buck Privates and Buck Privates Come Home.

Uncivil Warriors and Uncivil Warbirds before Gone With The Wind... a little comedy before an epic film.

DISORDER IN THE COURT before TWELVE ANGRY MEN. So, if people complain about not enough court scenes in the latter...well, DISORDER will provide that.

Nice job everyone.  Keep it up.  A few more.

Idle Roomers before Return of the Vampire.  Both Columbia films around the same time with a similar wolf man.

Shot in the Frontier before High Noon

Brideless Groom before Seven Chances

YES, WE HAVE NO BONANZA (1939), and PHONY EXPRESS (1943), before THE OUTLAWS IS COMING (1965).

Here’s another one: WHAT’S THE MATADOR before THE THREE CABALLEROS.

As a fan of old b horror movies, I’d love to see this bill.  However, look on tHe bottom of the poster below.  The year is 1941, a shame we don’t know what short.

If I could make an educated guess, perhaps All the World's a Stooge or Dutiful but Dumb? Those were their newest releases at that time, but I'm sure they showed older shorts, too. Who knows? If so, We Want Our Mummy would be a good short with that lineup.

Yeah, you raised the right question.  Did they show older shorts or only new ones?  A topic worth researching.

Well, they certainly recycled them in the 1950s and the 1960s when the Besser shorts and Curly Joe films were still in production... that's why some of the non-Stooge shorts we have today survived.

One thing I've found in using imdb.com for referencing 3 stooges shorts, is the number of them that were named after feature length films.  Besides the more obvious ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE (1917), there's also  BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB (1928).

CHEERS!  [pie]

All The World’s A Stage is a line from a Shakespeare play which is what I imagine the Stooge title is parodying.  It was also later a live album from your greatest countrymen, Rush.

I was referring to the line as being the obvious originator of the Stooges derivative parody title. I'm well aware of it originating from Shakespeare and it being the name of a RUSH double live LP. That it was a 1917 silent isn't at all obvious, and was poorly worded, on my part.

Along those lines, how about SPOOKS and THREE MISSING LINKS before KING KONG?  [glasses9]

Spooks with House of Wax (1953)

Both 3D films and I’ve ironically never seen either in 3D.

I've seen both in 3-D, but only the sub-par DVD version of the former.

It was over 35 years ago that I saw HOUSE OF WAX (1953) in 3-D at The Reportory Theatre in downtown London, not far from where we now live.  That was quite an experience!
