Early Stooges Stuff, can it be found?

And what was edited out of "Movie Maniacs"? I don't find anything objectionable in it.

That's because it was edited out, nyuk nyuk nyuk!
Seriously, though, I can't answer your question about "The Hollywood Party" (BeAStooge or garystooge might know), but what was edited out of "Movie Maniacs" was the scene where the Stooges practice kissing on some cute young starlets. This was cut when the shorts were sold to television in the late 50's; back then, you couldn't even say the word "pregnant" on TV, the censors were so strict (that is, prudish). When Curly gets his kiss, he falls over backwards, thrashing around on the floor and "woo-wooing." A very innocent routine, by today's standards!

That book states that some local broadcast stations had been known to cut the Stooges' scene for time constraints and commercials.
HOLLYWOOD PARTY (1934) has never been edited, in the context to which you refer. It is complete on the VHS release of 1994, it will be complete when it hits DVD on Warner Bros.' rumored (maybe in 2006) boxset of Laurel & Hardy's MGM films, and when shown on TCM it is complete.
Ted & the Stooges' HP scene is also included in the MGM feature compilation THE MGM BIG PARADE OF COMEDY (1964), released on VHS in 1994.

Oh. Thank you for telling me that. I watch the stooges from the Chicago network WCIU. They run 98% of their shorts in their entirety. I could still use an unedited copy of "So long, mr. chumps".

Is it possible for any one to have a copy of HELLO POP! ???

Please scroll up to reply #22, from BeAStooge. In case you don't know— since you're new here— BeAStooge is one of the most learned Stooges experts around, and we're really lucky to have him as a contributor here. If he says that no print of "Hello Pop" is known to exist, you can take that to the bank!
