Pilsner Panther:
Those "Columbia Color Rhapsody" cartoons are really obscure— so obscure that I've never seen one, even though I've been an animation fan all my life (I almost became an animator myself, and I was once invited to submit a portfolio to Disney, but that's a long story that doesn't belong here).

The only Columbia cartoon series that left any lasting impression is "The Fox and the Crow," probably because director Frank Tashlin later went on to direct live-action comedy features, including the only Jerry Lewis pictures that are actually funny. This, despite the serious drawback that Lewis was in them.

I wonder why Columbia never tried to market their cartoons to TV, like they did with their comedy shorts? Nowadays, most cartoon fans probably don't even know that Columbia had an animation unit at all.

Myren:
Ok, thanks. I had just wondered because i see the 3 Stooges cartoons at Target for a dollar all the time. ( With out the rap-arounds) That is why i had asked.

Shemoeley Fine:
On the subject of cartoons, I seem to recall,  I believe it to be a Bugs Bunny short, if not most assuredly a Looney Tune where there are characterizations of famous Hollywood celebrities of the 40's, Edward G, Bogie, Cary Grant and others including the Stooges as waiters in what appeared to be the Brown Derby.  Am I dreaming? , is my memory clouded or was there such a toon featuring our favorite comedy team?

Giff me dat fill-em!:
A Warner Brothers/Looney Tunes cartoon titled "Hollywood Steps Out" (1941) features Moe, Larry and Curly poking, slapping and punching each other in a nightclub/Brown Derby-like atmosphere as you suspected. My source, The Stoogephile Trivia Movie, states that this was the first color appearance of the boys where they didn't even have to show up. We all know that The Stooges' first color appearance is Nertsery Rhymes.
