This thread is for newbies with a post count of less than 10 to ask a question about the Stooges. In case the questions begin to pile up the person answering them should quote the question in their reply.

My dad and sisters swear this Stooges film they saw was the funniest thing ever, but I have never been able to find it. All they can tell is that in it the Stooges dress up in a horse costume. I can't imagine there are too many instances of that, but, thanks for your help ahead of time!
-
There are at least two shorts I can think of where two of the Stooges wore a horse costume - Horsing Around (1957) and Three Little Twirps (1943).
-
But damn, there's something seriously wrong if they thought Horsing Around was the funniest thing ever. Let's pray for their sake that it was Three Little Twirps.

Can anyone point me to where I can watch these? Thanks again!

If you check our Calendar (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?action=calendar) and the Events and TV (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?board=5.0) board, lewis, you'll find the upcoming appearances of the Stooges on TV that we know about. They do appear on some local stations, but we don't usually know in advance what they airing.
There is also a thread about Spike TV (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?topic=373.0) obtaining the Stooges.

Greetings. I would like to know the title of episodes in which Curley spins himself around on the floor with one leg announcing "whooo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo! Whooo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo!"
Thanks for this here fab resourse. Love the rating.
Say, which one of you lamebrains ate my "new topic" button?

I saw something on Ebay I have never seen before. 40 DVDs containing all 190 shorts of the Stooges. The auction recently ended, but you can still view the item number: 6376637905.
If these are black market, somebody sure went to a lot of trouble to make them look professional. Has anyone ever heard of this collection? I cannot find it on any other source (Amazon, Yahoo, etc.). I discovered this item as a "Buy it Now!" only a couple days ago and put it on my watch list. It expired yesterday (sold for $219). I kind of wish I had purchased it. It sounds like a dream collection.
Anyone know anything more about this?
Thanks,
Stooge77

How does one "announce" whoo whoo whoo?
-
I don't know about that Jim, but one of the shorts that comes to mind is Three Missing Links.
-
I can't remember the name of the short where the stooges are making bootleg beer. For some reason the image of a bathtub filled with homebrewed beer is burnt into my memory.
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks a lot!

That's Beer Barrel Polecats (http://threestooges.net/episode.php?id=88), Dagurasu. [cheers]
-
Thanks a lot, Dunrobin! But after a quick check it looks like it's still not available on DVD. I hesitate to buy anything on VHS these days. After 5 or 10 years the tapes start to lose their data or develop mold-especially in the humid climate I live in. Eventually it'll be out.
-
I can tell you that Beer Barrell Polecats is not worth getting a VHS tape of. In fact it is one of the worst shorts ever. If I were you I'd wait until it comes out on DVD, then maybe they will have some shorts worth purchasing (plus it wouldn't be on an antiquated medium either).
-
"Beer Barrel Polecats" had a pretty good start, but once the stooges were in prison, it was mostly re-used footage, which weakened the short.

Thanks, Shemps#1. I would like to get it on DVD. I may be dead by the time Columbia gets around to releasing it at the current rate. I can't get the beer in the bathtub out of my mind. Good for screen captures too!

How does one "announce" whoo whoo whoo?
Emphasis on the first "whooo", champ.
-
First off, don't call me "champ": it's patronizing. Are we clear, sport?
Second, that's improper word usage, as you can see by this handy definition of the word:
an·nounce
v. an·nounced, an·nounc·ing, an·nounc·es
v. tr.
1. To make known publicly.
2. To proclaim the presence or arrival of: announce a caller.
3. To provide an indication of beforehand; foretell: The invention of the microchip announced a new generation of computers.
4. To serve as an announcer for: announce a football game on TV.
v. intr.
1. To declare one's candidacy: was declared the front-runner even before she announced.
2. To serve as an announcer.
Now you tell me where emphasis on the first "whoo" would fall into the definition of announce.

Yes, this is an easy one to answer. The fan club will soon be having its annual meeting. However, since the meeting is only open to fan club members, and the members are already well aware of the details, there's no reason to post any of the specifics here.

Here's one for you! The Tv special on Comedy (The Hisory of Comedy?) hosted by Danny Thomas and featuring the Stooges -- available anywhere? Anyone else remember this event?
The Stooges' scenes from the 1965 ABC special WHAT MAKES PEOPLE LAUGH?, aka DANNY THOMAS MEETS THE COMICS, are on GoodTimes' Three Stooges DVD "Lost Comedy Treasures." Not the entire special, just the boys' scenes.
That DVD has been out since 2001, and a VHS version since 2000. The "Videography" section of this website lists both, with links to Amazon.com.
-
Thanks! I assume this Amazon link is for the segment you mentioned, and not the entire program.

??? Got a question . How do i quote a sentence from somebody else? ???
The simplest way is to click on the QUOTE button just above the post you wish to quote in order to start your reply. If you just click on the main REPLY button, instead, scroll down below the reply form to see the previous posts for the thread; on the right-hand side of each post is a hyperlink that says "Insert Quote."
Finally, in your post you can click on the "Quote" icon in the toolbar (second from the right, in the bottom row - looks like a cartoon "bubble") which will insert the "[ quote ]" tags, and then simply copy and paste the section of a previous message in between the tags.

Was Moe drunk in one of his appearances on Mike Douglas? The one where he does the Niagara Falls bit, he almost falls over SEVERAL times and is wobbly like a drunk.

Moe was a 76 year-old-man, in the early stages of lung cancer, performing animated, physical bits for a comedy sketch.
I hope you do as well at 76, in good health.
No, Moe was not drunk.

I didn't think he had the lung cancer until later in 1974, that was 11/73.

Hi - can anyone tell me the name of 2 Stooges shorts - its killing me!!
First had Curley delivering huge blocks of ice with tongs up 100's of steps to a house only to end up with an iceblock!!
Second was one of the many famous triple decker bed scenes - but this one was in a house in the country. Help
PercytheSlice
-
The first short you mentioned is called 'An Ache In Every Stake.' The second I'm not 100% sure but it could be 'I Can Hardly Wait.' If you go to Stooge Routines and look up 'Falling through a triple decker bunkbed' it will tell you what episodes this occurs in and you can click on each episode name to find out more.
-
... Curley delivering huge blocks of ice with tongs up 100's of steps to a house only to end up with an iceblock!!
AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE (1941)
Second was one of the many famous triple decker bed scenes - but this one was in a house in the country.
Although it involves a double-decker, I believe the scene you're recalling is from OIL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL (1958).

How informative is the new Stooges two-disc DVD, put out by Makinac? I'll have some money to play with after I sell my books back, and is it worth getting? The radio interviews with Moe and Larry are especially enticing. I'd hope a decent amount of info on the DVDs are not readily avail in the Stooge books out as is.

The Mackinac package is excellent, don't miss it! It's based on the documentary that was done for A&E in 1994, but it's been greatly expanded and enhanced, with spiffy new graphics, too. As to being informative, how much closer can you get to the Stooges than Larry's sister? The late Lyla Fine Budnick is featured in extensive interviews, as is her husband Nate, who worked as a sound man with the boys. Ted Healy Jr. also appears (and he comes off as rather defensive about his father's treatment of the Stooges). Mousie Garner also talks about what it was like to work as a Healy Stooge.
Documentary material aside, my favorite thing in the set is the complete Ed Wynn Show with Moe, Larry, and Shemp as guest stars. Coming from the same vaudeville background and all being veteran performers by the 1950's, Wynn and the Stooges work seamlessly together, and watching them makes you wish that they'd teamed up more often.
"Oh do you remember,
When you wore a tulip,
And I wore a big red rose..."

-
Here are some puzzlers for the Stooge experts on this board:
1. When Larry joined the act in 1925, did he replace Shemp (or was there a brief period where the Howard-Fine-Howard lineup performed together)?
2. Who were the 4 actors who appeared with Shemp in the 1934 film "The Knife Of The Party"?
3. What's the earliest documented evidence of the group being credited as "Stooges"?
-
I guess I'm a lame-brain, I can't remember the titles of 2 shorts- please help?
1. A short where Curly is listening to the radio and Moe acts like the announcer and asks "why cant a rooster can't lay a loaf of bread", Curly replys, "because he doesn't have the crust", and Moe says "you win" and smashs the radio over Curlys head ?
2. A short where Larry and Moe are playing checkers and Larry says to Moe " I'm a king Crown me" so Moe lets him have it.
-
A friend of mine swears this Stooges short exists.
He said he saw it exactly once -- it's a pro-WWII short featuring the Stooges as enlisted men -- and Moe was the sargent. In it, Curley described what he'd do to the enemy if he got his hands on them: "I'd choke them Nips! I'd murder those Krauts" and he acted out what he'd do.
At the end of the film, the banner "BUY WAR BONDS" was shown.
Is there such a short or is this dude busting my shoes? thanx... ???

I cant remember the name of the short, but they are playing carpenters, and Moe is atop a table that collapses (someone is sawing it). You can see his side land on the one edge of the table. I guess he got up, did a double slap, and passed out. I think he had several broken ribs.

This is a question for Jim... I believe you bought this set off E-Bay, and I'm considering buying it since I can't see Columbia ever releasing all the shorts. Before I buy it and start selling off all my old stuff I was just wondering what the quality was like. Have you received the set yet? Cheers. I went to look at Stoogeworld what you thought but had problems viewing the boards. Is anyone else having these problems?

The EzBoard system apparently crashed yesterday, and is still down. Unfortunately for Kevin, there is nothing he can do but wait until the EZBoard system is back up.

I should be getting the set tomorrow, Saturday at the latest. I'll post a review of it after viewing various shorts.

Sadly, ezboard was severely attacked on Tuesday morning, May 31. Stoogeworld happened to be one of the boards that was affected. Hopefully, ezboard will be able to restore everything, but chances are, a lot of the threads will be missing.

Jim, I really hope you enjoy that set. You are going to be very lucky to own all 190 shorts on DVD. I wish I was you. I really want all 190 shorts. I only have 162 and they are all converted to DVD. That is why I didn't buy that set on Ebay.

Hi I would like to know which episode shows Moe with a microphone saying, "quiet numbskulls, Im broadcasting"?
its a favorite when you seacrh for a 3 stooges audio wav that always shows up in most wav/audio file sites. If you know any other episodes that are radio related let me know that too. I am the station manager at 30A Radio, a station at the beach along scenic highway 30A. we streaming audio though, like the Jack Benny Radio Show on Sunday nights from Seaside Florida. We are in the panhandle and Seaside was made famous by Jim Carrey when the movie The Truman Show was filmed here! Check out my site and Im planning on putting a photo link to this incredible site!

We were getting so many trolls here (including the one who kept coming back over and over again under different names) that we had to put a restriction on new members posting new topics. After some discussion about it, Dunrobin, shemps#1 and I finally settled on ten posts before a member can submit a new topic.
This gives us a chance to understand what a person's motives are— whether they're all right and they're real Stooges fans, or whether they're just here to make trouble and disrupt the boards. It's a reasonable rule, don't you think? Stay with us; I'm sure you'll be okay to post new topics soon enough (you've only got eight more posts to go).

xraffle: Yeesh. I'm 40 yrs. old and married w/children, FWIW. I'm definitely not a "newbie." I've been watching the Stooges probably longer than any of you. Sorry if I haven't memorized all the episode names. My friends and I usually refer to the episodes as the "golfing one," "the icemen," "the plumbers," or in this case, "Brighto." Still, considering how long I've been watching the Stooges, I could probably recite more dialogue and note more episode nuances than most of you, too.
But if this is gonna be a typical geekish, arrogant fanboy-type hang-out, I'll be sure not to post here anymore.
-
Don’t be mad StoogeHube, my dad does the same thing as you, he always calls the shorts something other than the actual name.Which is fine by me. And the only reason that my friends seem to know the name of that short (and a few others) is because I slap them upside the head every time they say “that doctor one”. . . Which makes me wonder why they still put up with me. ???

No, that's exactly what we don't want it to be. You'll notice that a couple of the senior members (FineBari 3 and yours truly), stepped right in when things seemed to be going in that direction. This is a quality board (a dozen or so people have worked on that), everyone is welcome, and I'm sorry you got some replies that put you off.
We're trying to increase the appreciation of the Stooges, not drive people away— and you've got my personal word on that.

Hi I'm a knucklehead here in Scotland, and I want to get a DVD of the stooges as a present for myself. It's hard to get a hold of DVD's of them here, so if I was going to get ONE what one should I buy?
I'm a big fan of curly's films.
Thanks
billy

There aren't many DVDs on sale over here. You will have to get a multi-region DVD player and buy Region 1 DVDs. The only Region 2 Stooge DVDs are the Early Years series with Ted Healy shorts, and a couple of Shemp shorts. If you look on E-Bay you can get DVDs from Australia with about 12 shorts on each, they play on UK players. That's how I started out. I also recommend you buy videos from the US.
As it happens I am selling off all my Stooges stuff, including 4 Aussie DVDs and loads of videos. I'll post you the links when I've put them on E-Bay if you want. (I'm selling my stuff because I now have a multi-region DVD player and am buying all 190 shorts from someone else - therefore I don't need all my old collection any more.)
-
Yeah I might be interested in buying a dvd, thanks a lot. I'll look for the link.

OK, no worries, I'll post the links when I put them on later today.
P.S - Whereabouts in Scotland are you from? Hows the weather up there cos it's boiling down here at minute!

Here are the links to all 4 of my E-Bay sales. Hope something takes your fancy - the starting prices are damn bargains!

I am disappointed that my book, Moe Howard and the 3 Stooges could be printed with so many goofs. They show many stills from some of their great shorts and they are named wrongly. For a still from "Saved by the Belle" with the horse that slept under a lumber pile they list as Playing the Ponies. When they are all in a bathtub from "Gents without Cents" they say it's A Plumbing We Will Go. Another is a shot in the apartment in Paris from Wee, Wee Monsieur and they call it "Pop Goes the Easel." There is another still from Half-Shot Shooters looking at Vernon Dent's chicken dinner and they say it's from Slippery Silks. So who can you trust? Everyone knows in Slippery Silks they were employed as furniture designers at the start, they weren't down and out as in Half-Shot Shooters.

Get Busy, I don't know if this is true, and it isn't an answer to your question, but I read in Gene Kelly's bio that Donald O'Connor asked for Curly's permission to spin on the floor for "Make 'Em Laugh" number in "Singin' in the Rain".

Welcome Zeke.
(1) First, you need to be a member and logged in. Then click on the Member Map button, and when the page loads click on "Place Your Pin". When that page loads, you can use the pulldown menu in the center of the page to navigate to the regiional map that's most appropriate (in your case, obviously, "Canada.")
When you move your mouse over the map, the cursor should change to a "cross-hairs" style. Just click on your location on the map to place your pin, then click on the "Save My Pin" button. (You can enter your city, province and country in the form fields, if you choose, before clicking on "Save My Pin."
(2) Yes, it was. Curly had a stroke on the set of Half-Wits' Holiday, and that ended his career (outside of a cameo appearance in the Shemp short, Hold That Lion.)
I thought I was fairly well informed on Canada, but I've got to admit that you've got me stumped. What is "the G.T.A. in Canada"?
-
My educated guess would be "Greater Toronto Area".

Nice forum! I stumbled upon it while looking for graphics and sound clips of the stooges to use in a project I'm working on. Hope you don't mind that I snitched a few of your avatars to use in it.
I notice that the software used in this forum appears to support Flash movies in it's messages (there's a Flash button in the control panel), so you might be interested in the current project I'm working on...I call them "Audio Smiles" , they work similar to regular smiles, but they play a sound when you click on them. They can also be used as mini-banners on web pages. Check out my download page at www.algraff.com to see what's currently available. I've got a lot of generic ones with sound effects plus some with specific themes such as Barney Fife, Valley Girls, Star Wars, etc. Oh, yeah, they're free, so download as many as you like.
Anyway, I'm planning to make up a few using sound clips of the stooges. I'll probably have them ready for download in a week or two.
Couldn't figure out how to incorporate a flash movie in this message...not familiar with the SMF software, but if you click on the link below you should be able to try out one of my latest audio smiles from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. It normally displays in a message at around 100 x 100 pixels, not full screen...don't know what's going on with that ??? Oh, you need the Flash plugin to view Flash movies...but you probably knew that already.

Just an update on the stooges "Audio Smiles" I mentioned in an earlier message. Here's a link to a sample of what I'm doing...this one is a remix using a lot of the sound effects from several different films. It's about 27 seconds or so in length and includes sounds from all of the stooges except Joe...I think. The rest of the pack will probably be individual sound bytes instead of mixes. I'd be interested in hearing any comments... :)

'Gold Raiders' has never been released on VHS/DVD. I wish it was released so I can see it. The movie is very rare.

Hi,
I was wondering if "Hold that Lion" was on DVD?
Thanks. I'd like to see Curly in that episode.

No, "Hold That Lion" is not on DVD. If you want to know if an episode is on DVD, click on the pulldown menu above that says 'Jump To Episode.' Click on the desired episode and there will be a link if that episode is on DVD or VHS. You can also visit the 'Videography' section and there is a list of all the VHS and DVDs of the stooges.

I remember back in about 1976 or so...Moe did an interview that aired on PBS. He was shade of his former self and had completely gray hair and was slow to speak. I was only 9 at the time but remember the interview very well. He died very shortly after that.
Does anyone know of this interview and if it can be viewed anywhere?
Thanks.

A bit of film history trivia: this routine first appeared on film in the 1926 silent comedy "Wandering Willies," starring Billy Bevan and Andy Clyde. I'm sure it's no coincidence that this two-reeler was directed by Del Lord!
It's Billy Bevan (a Charlie Chaplin lookalike) who does battle with the oyster here, and the routine is almost exactly the same— except that at the end, he smashes the soup bowl with a cane, instead of shooting it like Curly does.

If you're asking for the name of it, I don't know. I don't think there were any names of their sound effects.
I don't know how Columbia classified their sound effects, whether by name or by number, but here's a little background on how sound effects were preserved and employed in the era before magnetic tape (which came in just after World War II).
Frequently-used sound effects were recorded on small reels of 35 or 16mm film, by the same optical method that was used for the main film soundtracks. The illustration here shows a piece of 35mm film, with a closeup of the soundtrack. A sound effects reel would have only the soundtrack on it, and no pictures. So, in the case of a sound effect that was used often— like, let's say, the Stooges eye-poke or head-bonk— all the sound editor had to do was take this short length of film (maybe only one or two feet) and mix it into the final production track.
I'm not going to go into how optical sound recording worked, because it's way too complicated to explain, and besides, it's ancient, outmoded technology.

Perhaps that was it. All I know is that before the time of VCRs we specifically remembered to watch the interview. I remember the picture being not so clear and that's why I think it was PBS. Any chance that Mike Douglas interview is around anywhere?

I can't remember the episode but my favorite Moe clip where I think Larry has a shovel and and he's digging up, I think, lost gold.

There's two ways I know of, although there may be more:
1. Check out the Complete Stooges DVD set thread on these boards. The last volume of the set contains the Moe Howard spots on the Mike Douglas show.
2. Go to www.mikedouglasshow.com and order the Moe Howard tapes. They're might think you are a filmmaker doing a documentary and want to talk about royalties, but I think you can just order the tapes. No idea of the cost, though.

That's too bad that I can't see that Mike Douglas show with Moe Howard. I would've been interesting to see it. I didn't get that last volume on the Complete Stooges DVD set. I only got the 40 DVDs with shorts.
-
Yeah.
I received a 41st DVD that contained the original A and E Stooges biography as well as the Mike Douglas Show spots with Moe Howard.
-
Yeah, I knew what I was getting into with the seller. I didn't get gypped or anything. I didn't actually buy the exact set pictured on Ebay. I negotiated with the seller. I wanted him to lower the price for me. He said he would, but only if I would accept the 40 DVDs in DVD sleeves instead of the cases that were pictured. Therefore, I didn't get a 41st disc. It would've been nice to get one, but it's not a big deal.

I am new to the forum, but have been a Stooge fan most of my life.

Shemp is sitting at the breakfast table with Moe eating pancakes.
After eating a pot holder, Shemp starts making the weirdest sound I've ever heard
come out of a human.

The Stooges used that one a lot:

* CALLING ALL CURS (1939)
* MISSED FORTUNE, A (1952)
* SPOOKS (1953)
* STONE AGE ROMEOS (1955)
* SAPPY BULLFIGHTERS (1959)

What is the name of the song being played on the rado in "Nutty But Nice"? It sounds a bit like an old country song. The only lyrics that are heard are: "...cavorting, prancing, son-of-a-gun..." and "I'm a cowboy from the western plains / I hate city streets and I hate city trains / Odelayeeodeeoalayoooooeee."
I've been asking other message boards about this song and none so far have given a definitive answer. Some have guessed that it was just a song made up specifically for the Three Stooges short and not available elsewhere.
Supposedly there is an article about Three Stooges music in issue 86 of the Three Stooges Journal. Is there anything in that article that might help me?
-
The Three Stooges Journal has an ongoing series of articles by Rich Finegan about music used in the Stooges' films. The song you asked about is covered in issue #91 (Fall 1999). It's entitled "I'm a Cowboy From the Western Plains" and its writer was none other than Stooges producer/director Jules White. The song was not used in any other films besides "Nutty But Nice" and "From Nurse to Worse".

Is Jules White the voice on the radio singing the song in "Nutty But Nice" or was that somebody else?
Was the song ever commercially released in any format (even 78 rpm)?

Although Jules White did do voices, bird whistles etc for the Stooges shorts, this doesn't sound like him at all. It is unlikely that this song was ever commercially released in any format

Here's a good question for you, who do think should have been a supporting player in the Stooge shorts? For example, Jimmy Finlayson from Laurel and Hardy (he's HILARIOUS), Edgar Kennedy (also on the series) as a cop, or who do you think should've been a supporting player.
STRANGE BUT TRUE: Bud Jamison was a supporting player for the Hal Roach Studios (same studio that had the two I suggested) for a little bit before he was on the Stooges. ;) THought I'd brighten things up a little.

So you did! While I was checking that out, I thought I'd see what Wikipedia had on the Stooges. It's a nicely detailed, fairly long entry; someone obviously put some real time and effort into it.
Thw Wikipedia concept strikes me as having a basic flaw, though, in that anybody can edit the information there, which would seem to leave it wide open to pranksters. You could easily insert false information, or even completely bogus entries... but maybe that's just my evil mind at work and no one else has ever thought of it.

If you don't know who Jimmy Finlayson or Edgar Kennedy is I'd be glad to tell you about them.
As much as I enjoy Bud Jamison, I'd have to say that Vernon Dent is the classic Stooges straight man. Two of my favorite moments in any Stooges shorts are when he recognizes "the icemen!" in "An Ache In Every Stake," and the phone booth scene in "Scrambled Brains."
Vernon was another one of the Stooges supporting cast who started out in silent comedies, sometimes teamed with Harry Langdon. Back then, he was a bit slimmer (stocky rather than portly), and sported a handlebar moustache. He also did some scriptwriting for Langdon when he came to Columbia in the early 30's, but Langdon was one of those silent comics who didn't work well with sound, and like Buster Keaton at around the same time, his career went into a steep decline; both Langdon and Keaton lost their star status and ended up making what Buster once called "crummy two-reelers."
Vernon's IMDB biography lists a remarkable 380 film appearances between 1919 and 1957. A couple of these are recycled footage in the later Stooges shorts, but still, it's clear that he was one of the busiest character actors in Hollywood, for decades.
Teaming up Edgar Kennedy with the Stooges would have worked well, but I don't think the right chemistry would have been there with Jimmy Finlayson. He was too frenetic, with his pop-eyed expressions of surprise and his double-takes, and the Stooges played better off straight men who were calmer than they were.

Benny Rubin who appeared in Income Tax Sappy was also in Citizen Kane.
On another note, Moe's heavy breathing routine when he is out of breath is hilarious and watching Curly roll his own cigarette is also!
One question: How come outtakes have never been packaged and shown on TV or cable? There must be thousands of hours of outtake tape.

One question: How come outtakes have never been packaged and shown on TV or cable? There must be thousands of hours of outtake tape.
First of all, welcome to the board! Now let me clear up a couple of things for you: first, the Stooges shorts (like everything else before 1950) were shot on 35mm film, not tape. The reason that there are very few existing outtakes is that film emulsion contains silver, and unused footage was almost always melted down to reclaim the silver for re-use.
Even if video tape had been used, that was also recycled by wiping it clean magnetically, because it could be used again three or four times before so much iron oxide flaked off the tape that it couldn't provide a decent picture any more. That's why (for example) all of the Johnny Carson Tonight shows from before (I believe) about 1970 don't exist any more— the reels of tape were wiped over and reused. Jackie Gleason was smart enough to preserve all of his televison work in a refrigerated vault, which is why we now have the complete run of "The Honeymooners" available on DVD's.

<<reply to Pisner Panther>>
You're right! I looked in the iMDB page and it said during the 1920's, Vernon Dent worked for the legendary comedy producer, Mack Sennett playing opposite Harry Langdon, Ben Turpin and other comedians, and during the 30's, until 1935, when he went on the Three Stooges, he worked at Universal and Paramount, where he played the role of, according to iMDB, a fat man in a compartment, and starring W.C Fields, in "Youre Telling Me!" in 1934.

While we do often drift away from the original subject in our discussions, I'd appreciate it if people would at least try to stay on topic.

BeAStooge, Thanks for the needed info, Electroman Is this short available on DVD?

Dunrobin, Sorry for the "Newbie" No,No. :o I will try to improve my posting skills. Electroman :D

Benny Rubin who appeared in Income Tax Sappy was also in Citizen Kane.
Rubin is far from alone with that credit. Several supporting players are in CITIZEN KANE...
- Dorothy Comingore (OILY TO BED OILY TO RISE, ROCKIN' THRU THE ROCKIES) was Susan Kane
- Sonny Bupp (CASH & CARRY) was Kane III
- Phil Van Zandt (FIDDLERS THREE, DOPEY DICKS, SPOOKS, more), Carmen LaRoux (SAVED BY THE BELLE) and Gino Corrado (MICRO-PHONIES, AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE) had bit parts
How come outtakes have never been packaged and shown on TV or cable? There must be thousands of hours of outtake tape.
Excepting outtakes from THE OUTLAWS IS COMING! (1965), there are none. Those particular outtakes were kept, along with behind-the-scenes home movie footage taken by Moe Howard and Norm Maurer, to compile gift reels for the film's costars.
Columbia was a budget factory. The shorts department worked on a very simple premise, "Get it right the first time." The actors' work ethics, in those days, complied. Minor screwups were usually left in the film, and major screwups (as Pilsner mentioned above) resulted in film processed for chemical base recycling.

Do any of you know any Stooge shorts that had a re-working from a different studio?
For example, A Pain in the Pullman (1936) was a re-working of Show Business (1932) with Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts.
If a Body Meets a Body (1945) was a re-working of The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case (1930).
And do you know any Stooge shorts shorts that used gags from other shorts and movies from other studios?
For example: The roll on the fork gag from Pardon My Scotch (1935) was lifted from The Gold Rush(1925) with Charlie Chaplin.
The spring on the trousers gag was also seen in Asleep at the Switch (1923) with Ben Turpin.
-
If an episode was ever released on either VHS or DVD, it will be listed on the Videography page. Any episode that is available from Amazon.com will also have "Buy It" links on both the Videography page and on the episode's description page (which you can select from the puildown menu in the top frame.)

<<reply to Pisner Panther>>
You're right! I looked in the iMDB page and it said during the 1920's, Vernon Dent worked for the legendary comedy producer, Mack Sennett playing opposite Harry Langdon, Ben Turpin and other comedians, and during the 30's, until 1935, when he went on the Three Stooges, he worked at Universal and Paramount, where he played the role of, according to iMDB, a fat man in a compartment, and starring W.C Fields, in "Youre Telling Me!" in 1934.
Also, he plays one of the Cabinet Ministers in "Million Dollar Legs" (1932), with W.C. Fields and Jack Oakie. It's not much more than a bit part, though, and he doesn't get a screen credit for it. Ben Turpin and Columbia Shorts stars Hugh Herbert and Andy Clyde are in that one, too.

Depends on what parameters you want to put on "reworking".
For example, the basic premise of BOOBY DUPES derives from Laurel and Hardy's TOWED IN A HOLE, but few of the gag sequences parallel the L&H film, even in the boat-repair scene. The closest reworking is at the very beginning, when Curly comes up w/the idea of eliminating the middleman, Moe asks him to repeat the idea, and Curly re-relates it in more or less garbled form.
Another example: THREE PESTS IN A MESS borrows liberally from L&H's HABEAS CORPUS and Sennett's 1925 SUPER-HOOPER DYNE LIZZIES, and the last third of the film is pretty close to the L&H pic, but is it close enough to call it a reworking? TASSELS IN THE AIR reworks an extended table-painting sequence from Charley Chase's LUNCHEON AT TWELVE, and then A SNITCH IN TIME reworks the earlier Stooge version.
If you want to get down to individual gags that are reworked or revised by the Stooges from other comedians' films, the list gets very long and very technical. I and Metaldams co-wrote an article, "Gag Crazy: The Three Stooges and Harold Lloyd," which appeared in the Summer and Fall 2004 issues of the Three Stooges Journal. This was an immensely long and involved piece where we analyzed character, timing, camera angles, editing, etc. and even then we weren't as comprehensive as we could've been - the article might've ended up three times as long. I literally had pages of notes before I even started the first draft. We're currently working on a second article where we trace the influence of Buster Keaton on the Stooges.
So it really gets down to how you want to define the term "reworking": how close do the Stooges come to the original, what characteristic changes do they make in the material to reflect their own sensibility, is it a single gag or an extended, linked series of gags, or merely a plotline? I've lately written another article on the Shemp Westerns of the 50s, where I discuss the influence of Bob Hope's THE PALEFACE on Shemp's "coward" characterization, and on the short THE TOOTH WILL OUT, which reworks a sequence from the Hope film, and how the Stooges, like Hope, burlesque the character traits and stereotypical situations associated with the "horse opera".
-
Speaking of the influence of of Buster Keaton on the Stooges, I'll throw in one more partial re-working here: "Flat Foot Stooges" is basically a remake of the second reel of the Fatty Arbuckle-Keaton film "The Garage" (1920). The firemen (in this case Fatty and Buster) race out of the firehouse to answer an alarm, but it turns out to be the firehouse itself that's on fire. The villain has trapped the heroine in an upstairs room, and she'll be burned to death unless she's saved by Our Heroes, who return just in time to get her out. Sound familiar?
There's only one pie thrown (by Buster at Fatty, and he misses), but this has to be one of the messiest comedies ever made, with everyone getting covered with grease, doused with gasoline, and nearly drowned in barrels of water. When you first see the villain (or "The Village Dandy") in his immaculate white linen suit, you just know that he's in for it... fall-down funny stuff!
[pound]
I should also add that the "dancing rolls" gag was performed on film by Arbuckle several years before Chaplin did it. It's in "The Rough House" (1917), if I remember right.

Do you think that the Three Stooges would be the same if it were at the Hal Roach Studios or the Keystone Studios, run by Mack Sennett? I don't care what you pick.
-
Since so many of those w/whom the Stooges worked were veterans of the Sennett studio (Del Lord, most importantly, but also Vernon Dent, Chester Conklin, and others) I don't think there'd be too much of a perceptible difference between what we know as the Stooges style and Sennett's style, save that you might've ended up with more large-scale "rallies" e.g. as seen in FALSE ALARMS. The Stooges' dominant style, at least through the Curly era, is an amalgamation of Sennett w/vaudevillian dialogue. Sennett's gag-for-gags'-sake format is pretty evident throughout the Stooge canon. So does "scare" comedy, or comedy dependent upon a semi-melodramatic premise: these elements predominate right through the Bessers.
BTW, the "Keystone" sobriquet was phased out by, I think, 1918 or so; Sennett's studio was simply "Mack Sennett Comedies" after then.
Roach is a different question; you'd find more comic set-pieces: longer, more elaborate gag sequences. Two of the Stooge shorts on which Charley Chase worked seem very close to Roach's style, TASSELS IN THE AIR and TERMITES OF 1938. SLIPPERY SILKS and POP GOES THE EASEL and, to some extent, THREE LITTLE BEERS, all of which rely as much on sight gags as verbal humor, are pretty close to Roach's mature style. BEERS in particular is basically just a string of gags built around a particular setting, the kind of near-ad lib format used by L&H. Roach's shorts also used whimsical, semi-surreal gags which crop up in the Chase-influenced Stooge shorts, such as Larry and Curly playing checkers w/paint cans on a block tiled floor, or the elaborate mousetrap in TERMITES OF 1938 (based on a similar gag in Chase's PUBLIC GHOST NO. 1). Chase's typical "comedy of embarrassment" also surfaces in both these films. Roach himself had a dislike for gags involving black humor - you'd never find a comedy like THEY STOOGE TO CONGA at Roach, the Boss would've nixed it. However, Roach would've permitted the team much more leeway in crafting their own comedy, given them longer shooting schedules and encouraged a more improvisatory attitude.
However, in a way, these are moot questions: the Stooges came along at a time when both Sennett and Roach were ending production of shorts. Sennett's studio went into bankruptcy in 1933, which is why so many Sennett veterans ended up at Columbia, which was just developing a comedy unit. Roach had phased out 2-reelers by the end of the 35-36 season, and discontinued shorts altogether by the end of the 37-38 season. Would the Stooges have been as efefctive if they'd gone into films in the 20s? Hard to say, given the fact it would've taken some years to develop the flawless teamwork and timing they did display by 1933.

Do you guys have any more transcripts, I mean, do other people send you guys transcripts, cause I can send you some. ???
-
I'll be happy to review a new transcript. If it's seem ok, we'd be thrilled to get more transcripts into the database. (I sent you a Private Message about sending your transcript to me.)
Please note that I'll be judging any new submissions on spelling, punctuation and captialization, etc. Obviously, when it comes to spelling, I'll take into account that you may be trying to represent the way a Stooge is actually saying something. In other words, using "soivace" instead of "service" is fine, for example, assuming that's the way the character said the word, but otherwise I'll expect words to be spelled correctly. ;D

Two vital questions lirking in my mind:
1. Who came up with the idea to use sound effects? That guy should have won an academy award.
2. Where can I get an audio clip of "ramitz snorglotz kebertz itrisay"?
-
Speaking of sound effects, how were all these sound effects provided?
Just wonderin'. ???
-
In Healthy Wealthy and Dumb (1938), how did they that thing when Curly had champagne come out his ears?
-

Watch closely. The champagne actually comes out from behind his ears.
-
When Larry made a drink and shook it up in a mixer then pointed it at Moe and it spewed into his face Larry had a tube going down his arm out his shirt sleeve and attached to the shaker.
I saw "They stooge to Conga" and Curly had a light bulb in his ear that lit up, then Larry short-circuited him by sticking a scredriver in his other ear and the bulb exploded. Wonder how they got it to light up? It was really in his ear.
Were all those props used to hit Larry/Curly like wrenches, saws, hammers real? What were they made of? Balsa wood? There was no plastic in those days. How many guys at Columbia were in charge of making those props?
Those guys were freakin great. Curly was a total natural behind the camera.
I read that Joe DeRita never thought the Stooges were funny. He thought their physical stuff was good but nothing more.
-
In Disorder in the Court (1936), what was the music that they were playing in the courtroom because I also heard it on REEFER MADNESS (1936). Is it a familiar song?

FineBari3 ,
I think you're talking about "Goofs and Saddles". The part where Curly and Moe are trying to trick the bad guy in a card game by exchanges cards under the desk. They both give each other the Ace cards with their toes and Curly gets frustrated and makes that sound.

For my trivia quiz, I want people to answer on the message board. If at least 5 people answer from it, I'll give you the answers. :o

OK guys, can somebody out there help me?
I've been a Stooge fan since childhood, but I've NEVER understood WHY Joe Besser was chosen as a replacement after Shemp's passing. From the first short in which he appeared, it seems as though he was ill-suited for the part of completing the trio. Seriously, in some of the shorts, it seems as if Larry and Moe posessed a bit of distain for the man's presence!!!! (Personally, I think he's a bit sissy for the part.)
Why was HE chosen?
How was he selected for the part?
Were the guys really fond of him off-screen?
Why / how did he leave?
Does ANYONE think this guy was a welcome addition to the group?
Thanks in advance for helping me understand this strange time in the Boys' life.
Bo

When reading about the goofs in the Stooge shorts...I'm surprised someone missed one of the most blatant one in Hoi Polloi. Right after a scene cut going into another scene (don't remember which one), you can hear a female doing a vocal 'slate' for the scene. Offstate she says loudly, "Hoi Polloi...(then something unintelligable). Anyone elso on this string ever notice it? Thanks!

1. He was chosen because he was fat, bald, and under Columbia contract.
2. Most likely, they just selected him out of the actors available to them.
3. From what I understand Besser got along just fine with Moe and Larry.
4. He left due to his wife being ill and Columbia not renewing the contract of the Stooges (he was with them a short time after Columbia let them go).
5. Yes, I think he was a welcome addition. Moe and Larry wanted to keep getting paid, and Joe helped them do so.
Yes, Besser does suck, but Derita was even worse.

Stooge Quote Question:
What is the episode where Curly winds-up falling to the floor, beating himself and shouts "I am SO FRUSTRATED!!!!"?
I know the reference is a little obscure, but surely someone will know what it is!

Not that obscure, it's from one of the greatest shorts of the Curly era, "Oily To Bed, Oily To Rise." Curly is on the floor under a wagon that has a trap door on the bottom, and he keeps trying to close it, but every time, it comes down and whacks him again. It's at the end of this scene that he yells, "I'm so frustrated!"
-
I believe Curly said "I'm so aggrivated."
-
I believe Curly said "I'm so aggrivated."
I think you might be right about that, xraffle. I haven't watched that short in a while, and my memory isn't what it used to be (what did it used to be? I can't remember!)
-
Curious. How are all the special effects (ex. rising up in the air) and sound FX (slap) provided?
-
I think this was the worst stooge short that they made. How did they win an award for this? The comedy was clammy at most. The hiccuping nurse bit was the lamest I have ever seen. The only funny thing was when Moe asks for HANNACONNAPONNA during the operation and neither Larry or Curly know what it is. Other than that, I think it was lousy.

Yours is definitely a minority opinion, Joseph. 60% of the fans who have rated the short gave it 4 out of 4 "pokes," and 84% rated it 3 pokes or better.
Personally, I love that short so much that I'm amazed that anyone could find it "lousy." Larry is absolutely hysterical in it (the way he leers and starts looming in at the nurse at the desk, while Moe and Curly are arguing, is great - he looks so psychotic!) Moe and Curly are in top form, and there are the excellent scenes with Bud Jamison and Little Billy, and with Billy Gilbert as the D.T. patient. ("You see that button hole? RATS used to come outta there! I'd grab 'em, pluck 'em out and another one would appear!")* How could anyone not find that funny?
I could see that some fans might prefer other shorts over Men in Black, but "worst" and "lousy"? "Hannaconnapoona" was the only funny thing in the whole short? C'mon - do you even like the Stooges?
* Note to any purists: I quoted that off the top of my head, so I won't swear that I got it 100% correct. ;D
-
Yes. As a matter of fact I love the Stooges. And sorry to say sir, but my opinion is just that. I actually don't care what others have said about it as that is their opinion and not mine. I do agree with the button hole segment, but what I am trying to say is that it was a different type of stooge short. The acting was a little off the wall in regards to their other shorts. It seemed more Groucho Marx then Stooges style and with all the other excellent shorts that they made, why was this one given an award over the others?
-

Well, yes, I grant you that the style is different from most of their later shorts, and your comparison with Groucho seems apt. Like I said before, I can understand preferring other shorts over this one, I just can't see why you'd say it was "lousy." To each his own. :dontknow:
Actually, this did not get any awards. It was nominated for an Academy Award, but the Stooges lost to a Disney cartoon. They were never nominated again (which is certainly a crying shame.)
Hey Brent - couldn't they got nominated for some kind of posthumous "Lifetime Achievement" Oscar? ??? (If they did I might actually bother to watch the Oscars that year!)

Someone who had to share a room in the hospital with a D.T. patient?
This guy was so out of it he thought squirrels were in the ceiling! The nurses aides had to strap him to the bed and couldn't give him enough tranquilizer shots to shut him up. After hours of that insanity, I would have gladly accepted "anesthesia" from the 3 Stooges! :o

OK wiseguys, I'm a bit confused...
I was watching an episode of the Mike Douglas show from the 70's (Ted Knight was the co-host), and Moe Howard was a guest. When Moe was introduced, Mike Douglas said there were "196 comedies" in which the Stooges appeared... I found that a little odd until Moe came out and corrected him by saying that "there were 200."
So whats UP with that?
I've always been under the impression that there were only 190 SHORTS, but were these guys also referring to the 6 MGM movies and the 4 at Columbia?
Which is true?
HOW MANY SHORTS WERE THERE?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Bo Sullivan
-
There were actually 190 Three Stooges shorts made. Mike Douglas was wrong, but I don't about Moe. Maybe he's right. ???

Can anyone else speak to my previous question?

Well, I guess I appreciate the "response," even though it was only a simple sentence.
Perhaps I should elaborate on my question - I know it must be confusing when I use such a cryptic word like "speak," so for the benefit of those who may misunderstand for what I am asking, I'll try again with greater effort:
Referring to my initial post about the total number of episodes: Does anyone on this list have any idea why both Mike Douglas and Moe Howard would offer such different reports as to how many Stooge shorts there actually were? As questioned previously, and with full understanding that there were, in fact, only ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY shorts, why would such a pulic discrepancy exsist? Is there any chance that the aforementioned people would have access to this conflicting information, AND if so, to what could they be referring?
Is anyone here qualified to and/or capable of responding at-length?
If so, please offer any information you may posses.

You need to lose the fuckin' attitude real quick.
When anyone (especially a newbie) gets snotty because they didn't get an answer to their liking, no one is going to want to answer them. There are plenty of people on this site qualified to elaborate on your "all important" question, but no one is going to want to. I could chime in with a theory, but have no desire to, especially now.
-
At least you frikin' got an answer.
Ungrateful, eh?? >:(
-
WOW - talk about attitude... and from a "moderator," no less.
Points of general correction:
-In the event that an individual is appointed with an official title (such as "moderator") it would be wise to posses complete knowledge of the appelation. ("Moderator" in the English language is commonly known to be a non-partisan mediator of a given group. Sadly, the sixteenth-century term is also known in intellectual circles as a substance that merely "slows down neutrons.")
-If a one insists on saying that members have an "[expletive deleted] attitude," then please be sure to correctly address the party at fault using proper grammar, citing, at-length, passages that would support his/her assertion. If suitable proof cannot be provided at-length, it is considered somewhat naive to avoid giving proper credit to the benighted author's own opinion.
-Generally, modern intelligentsia consider the adverb "real" to be vaguely informal and more suitable in poorly constructed speech than writing.
-According to Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" (fourth edition), one should avoid adding quotation marks when using a colloquialism as it is said that the person in-question reveals him/herself to frequently practice the "putting-on of airs."
-It is commonly accepted that a sentence should never end with a preposition.
-When writing on a specific topic for public consumption, authors should avoid using wide generalities such as "no one," "plenty of people," and other phrases of overt grammatical callowness.
-Hyphens are most often used when inferring a verb/preposition in the transitive sense. (ex: One cannot publicly denounce the desire to "chime-in" without actually having done so.)
-When writing, keep in mind that sentence fragments are only permitted when used as a declarative expression. These ideas should, however, maintain proper punctuation throughout.
-Frequently considered crude, the vocable "no" should, in most cases, be used as a function word to emphasize a following negative or to introduce a more emphatic, explicit, or comprehensive statement. When a properly descriptive negative connotation is desired, the word "none" is most commonly acceptable.
Indeed, Mr. Moderator, you have shown yourself as a gleaming beacon of ignorance for all to admire...
Basking in your light,
Bo Sullivan

-
I just recently viewed all of Moe's appearances on Mike Douglas, and I noticed several errors and contradictions on Moe's behalf; too bad I cant remember any of them except the '200 Shorts' comment.
I do remember reading the same stories that Moe talked about, but there were subtle contradictions, like the town the event occured in or which short the scene happened in.
-
Alright fuckwad, I'm going to reply to your post before I ban your ass.
1. The first sentence itself was a colloquialism. In fact, the whole post was. People speak that way every day; and since message boards are more of a "speaking" situation than a "writing" situation, it works. Is it proper grammar? No. Is it acceptable grammar? Yes. Most of that post of yours falls under this category. On a message board people should write they way that they speak, not as if they were writing a fucking term paper. Your nit-picking attempt to correct my grammar and try to make me look like a fool is a "putting-on of airs".
2. Censoring an expletive in a quote when it is unnecessary is another "putting-on of airs". If your reply were being printed in a newspaper or another publication where printing expletives is prohibited it would be fine, but here where it is well-known that foul language does not get censored it makes you look pompous. After all, I was the one who said it, not you.
3. Since your entire post was snotty, there was no need to quote any of it. It is right there for anyone and everyone to see.
4. You are a good example of why we have a ten post watershed before a member of this site can start topics. If you manage to piss people off within your first ten posts, then it is in the best interest of the site's administrators to get rid of you. Don't let the door hit you in that fat fuckin' head on the way out.
Everybody else; when someone acts up like this please DO NOT answer their question in any way. Once you do that you have given them what they wanted, thus encouraging this kind of behavior in the future.
-
Good Riddens, I dont understand why people have to be so snotty, expecially newbies. This is suppost to be a site of good mature friends talking about the Stooges, and other discussions. I for one encourage you getting rid of this guy, and anybody else that acts like this guy Shemps. Good Job. ;D

I tend to agree, but SullivanBo's original question did make me realize that I should add some better stats for the Stooges filmography. I've added a table to the site's home page that gives a breakdown of the filmography, showing the number of short subjects, feature films and "other" (everthing that doesn't fit the other two categories, like newsreels) made by each Stooge Team over the years. Maybe that will help clarify things. I also made it "dynamic," so if BeAStooge or the other Team Stooge members discover any other episodes that weren't included, the list will be automatically updated.
I don't know why Moe would say there were 200 shorts, but I haven't watched that interview in years. He didn't say "a couple of hundred" by any chance? ;)
There were 190 shorts made by the Stooges at Columbia, and the boys appeared in 6 earlier ones with Ted Healy, which would explain Douglas' comment about 196, and Moe was in a total of 199 shorts, which would account for "a couple of hundred."
-
Oh! That's what he meant. :-\

I was watching "Ren and Stimpy" a few minutes ago. It was the episode where Stimpy is addicted to TV. One of the TV shows he was watching was the Three Stooges. It sound like a real episode. I think it went like this:
CURLY: I wonder how I was when I delivered by the stork.
MOE: Nah! You were delivered by a buzzard!
What episode is that from?
-
I am a newbie to this forum however I'm no neophyte when it somes to the Stooges, been a fan since 1957.... Now my daughter and even 2 grand daughters like the antics of the Horowitz brothers and their sidekick Fine.
When I am able to post a new thread, mine will be about how Lou Costello "ripped of Curley", being very influenced by Jerome. he would be on the side stage of many live shows by Larry, Curley and Moe in the early days. We all know Shemp was in several Abbot & Costello films, one of which Africa Screams also features future Stooge and long-time A & C sideman, Joe Besser. What I am most dismayed by is that Lou Costello individualy and Abbott & Costello as duo seem to garner more respect and held in higher esteem than our favorite trio, such a shame!
A & C's greatest assest are the play of words skits, like Who's On First and others in that vein including a classic math problem done by Shemp on a blackboard in A & C's In The Navy
If I could go back in time, I'd arrange to have one performance where the 3 Horwitz's, Shemp, Moe and Curley would be the 3 Stooges....
Shemoeley
-
Welcome to the site, Shemoeley Fine.
I don't think Abbott and Costello are necessarily held in "higher esteem" than the Stooges except in the sense that feature films are considered "more important" than short subjects. (Unfortunately.)
All comedians have borrowed from others since time immemorial; it's the nature of the business. The Stooges routines owe a lot to their predecessors and contemporaries, such as Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, and others. It's not so much where the routine or material came from, as how well a particular performer presents it. Lou Costello deserves his acclaim every bit as much as Curly, Moe, Larry or Shemp; he was a very funny guy, and his timing was impeccable
I've got to admit, I've always wished for a film or short with all three Howard brothers, myself, but you can't leave out Larry! He was like an adopted brother, and it just wouldn't be the same without him.
-
I've never seen a board that required you to post 10 times before asking questions. I pulled my hair out trying to find this thread. My question is Moe's arm mannerisums. In the early shorts he kept his arms close to his body and swung them up and down and talked out of the side of his mouth in a more tough guy type of talk. By the 50's his hands were no longer cupped and the arms stayed at his side the side of mouth talk all but gone. Why did he change?

This reply is strictly speculative based on logic, obviously no one can get inside of Moe's head to determine the details of this "change" and I don't recall he being asked that question or talking about it in any interviews or articles. All of the Stooges "evolved" from the beginning to the end as do all actors and performers, it's human nature. Moe may not have even been aware of this change you pointed to. Larry's mannerisms are quite different in the 50's as they were in the 30's, Curly and Shemp changed too. It's no big whoop in my book but it is an interesting observation.
Atheletes evolve throughout their careers as we do too in our daily jobs or family duties, if we remained the same, the world would become stagnant.

Thanks. I recall someone saying that Curly never did a serious interview as Moe did in later years. I can say I never saw an interview with larry that he sat down and did where he answered any questions. I wish Curly had been interviewed at least once where he was serious or answered questions.

Disgraceful - I moved your question to the end of the NEWBIES thread, where it belonged. Please try to post replies on the approriate threads, and not just anywhere.
To answer your question, you're thinking of HALF-WITS' HOLIDAY (1947), Curley's last short. It's a remake of the early Curly classic, HOI POLLOI.

Daily Fact #1:
Curly Joe DeRita was the only non-Jewish member of the Three Stooges.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Ted Healy was was Jewish. Of course, technically, he wasn't a member of the Three Stooges, if you want to split hairs, but he was still the founding father of Stoogedom.
-
When the Stooges, Shemp, Moe and Larry left Ted Healy for a while before returning later on with Curly, Ted was jealous of their success without him and in Moe Howard and the Three Stooges, Moe talks about when Winnie Sheehan offered the Stooges a solo deal after their work in Soup to Nuts and Healy is quoted as telling Sheehan, "you're ruining my act by signing the boys, I didn't think that one Irishman would that to another Irishman."
Shemoeley Fine
-
I'm not sure of your assertion about Ted Healy's religious background, but here's a website devoted to Charles Earnest Lee Nash (a.k.a. Ted Healy) that makes almost no mention of his religious up-bringing ...
http://www.stoogeworld.com/_Biographies/Healy.htm
... and in light of the fact that Ted was born in Kaufman, Texas, I suspect that the quip Moe makes "I don't think one Irishman would do that to another Irishman" line is false, or else Ted is referring to his lineage.

Giff, a little Google searching indicates that the schools Ted attended were all Catholic. It's not true today, but back then (even before the 1970's) it was really unusual for non-Catholic kids to go through the Catholic school system. I'd say, then, that the circumstantial evidence is pretty strong that Ted was not Jewish.
As to his being of Irish descent, he still could have been Jewish despite that, but it's not very likely.

There's a dark side to the stooges that I would like to explore. Many of their shorts leave them in a situation where you must assume them dead. For example, three pairs of smoldering boots...they gotta be dead.
Then there is murder. What's the title of that short where the stooges drown a couple of guys in a bathtub, and then take a bath on top of them?

Are any of you guys familiar about that show Celebrity Deathmatch?
I was taping it last night, and one of the episode's main events was The Three Stooges vs. The Three Tenors.
It was really funny to me. My favorite part was when Moe put a plunger on Larry's face and he pushes him on the rubber string thingies on a wrestling match ring and the plunger handle pokes Moe's eye out and it kills him.
-
I am not up on this most unappealing titled show "Celeb Deathmatch"
Since I am ignorant on this subject, I'd like to ask a question about what you saw.
You mentioned they had a battle between the 3 Stooges and the 3 Tenors. You state that Moe placed a plunger on Larry's face and then he pokes Larry's eye out and Larry dies. yukkkkkkkk
Is this done through footage digitaly altered or is this an animated feature?
If it is animated, how do realistic do the images and voices appear? Where was Curley or Shemp in this battle?
in advance...

It is/was an MTV television show featuring claymation, (stop-motion animation using clay puppets) so you could definitely call it animated.

Celebrity Deathmatch is in claymation. And the Three Stooges from from a time machine, Stone Cold says, "And best of all, no friggin' Shemp!" So Stone Cold is an anti-Shemp person.

Hi guys, sorry for posting here. I just registered and I am having difficulty finding the post new topic button.
I have a question for you die hard fans. My mother is a huge fan of the show and I am looking for a particular episode. Granted I was a kid when I saw this so my memmory is slightly fuzzy. I remember there was a balcony and one of the stooges was serenading a lady who also sung back to the stooge. It is possible that Shemp was in this episode, but I am not certain. I believe that the Stooges eventually crawl up the balcony and get into the castle. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Oh! Also during the serenade it seems as if something was thrown in one of the stooges face. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard, monkeyman. We have a rule here that no one can start a new topic until they've made 10 posts. We've had some trouble with trolls in the past, and that's a way of keeping them off the board.
To answer your question, the short you're referring to is "Squareheads of the Round Table" (1948), and yes, Shemp is in it, along with Stooges regulars Christine McIntyre as the princess, and Vernon Dent as King Arthur. Jock Mahoney (Jacques O'Mahoney) plays Cedric the blacksmith, and the way this tall actor towers over the Stooges is funny just in itself. IMO, one of the best Shemps.

I just looked him up, and noticed that Jock was 6' 4", making him a full foot taller than the Stooges. (I'm 6'3" tall, myself.) :o

Thanks Pilsner Panther!!!! Sorry for breaking the rules.

You didn't. This thread is mainly for people under 10 posts or people who want to "post and run" to ask whatever questions they have.

I suppose the answer to this exists in some form but I don't know how to word it to find it in the search engine. OK When were growing up, those of us in our 30's, we saw the Stooges everyday, right? My question is how many of their shorts were in rotation for syndicated TV? And how many did we see vs. how many we haven't seen? It would of course be wonderful if Columbia makes DVD box sets of the Complete Stooges but before I daydream too hard, I'd like an idea of how many more shorts I could hope for that I've NEVER seen.
-
When I was four or so, my father took my brother and me to see Moe Howard Live on Stage, introducing some shorts. I'm curious if anyone has precise information about this appearance. Here's what I can remember: it was approx. 1974, in Pennsauken, NJ, at the Walt Whitman Theater. I'm interested in the date or any recollections beyond the few scraps I already have.
-
As far as I can recall (I'm slightly younger than you are and grew up watching the Stooges during the 80's) all 190 shorts were in rotation in syndication, and in select markets (Boston, Chicago, Philly etc...markets with a notoriously huge Stooge fanbase) they are all once again in rotation. The 130 shorts deal didn't really happen until after the Derita family took control; either the late '90's/early 2000's.

Who owns or runs C3 now that Curly Joe DeRita's wife died last year or so?
-
She's still alive as far as I know. I can't find anything on the web about her dying, and haven't heard word about it.
Either way, C3 is run by Jean's sons (Joe's step-sons) Earl and Robert Benjamin.

Well, you already figured out how to post a picture here, which I thought was a restricted feature. Nice choice, though— it always cracks me up when Moe gives Curly, Larry, or Shemp the business like that!

You have to make 10 posts before you can start a new topic. We've had some problems with trolls here in the past, and that's a way of determining what someone's intentions might be before we give them full access to the boards. It seems to work pretty well.

I got a good question to ask yall.Can they make the new three stooges today? i mean new people to play moe,larry and curly? Or you cant replace the original stooges.Some people think replacing them with new stooges is like making a brand new beatles rock group.Do you feel that way?

Silent, 5-minute, retitled abridgements from a handful of the Columbia shorts, marketed for home viewing with a toy 16mm projector in the late 1940s, by a company named Excel.
Back in 1988, The Three Stooges Journal published a detailed 2-part article about the projector, and a list of the Stooge titles sold with it.

I guess this as good a place as any to ask this, so here it goes. And I think I know the answer already but, did the Stooges shorts ever come out in wide screen? Or is this just something newer moives have done? Like the Joe DeRita films.
Thanks for any help.

Myren,
None of the Stooge shorts were made or shown in widescreen.

Thank you. I did not think they where but thought I would ask.
Thanks again

Yet another question:
Does anyone know how these Stooge shorts became public domain: "Disorder In The Court," "Sing A Song Of Six Pants," "Malice In The Palace," "Brideless Groom,"? And how none of the others did? I am guessing the copyright ran out?
Myren

Some clerk at Columbia goofed and left them off the list when Columbia was renewing their copyright back in the 50's. Presumeably, by the time someone realized the errror it was too late, and those four went into public domain.

Hello everyone. I guess I need to get my first post out of the way....so here goes.
Is there any sort of Stooges Appreciation Society in existance? I know there is the "official" fan-club over at stooges.com, but I am talking about a real interactive organization dedicated to the love of the shorts. The kind of thing where people would occasionally get together and share dialog about the stooges? I remember back around 1994 attending a Stooges Convention in Pittsburgh. There were movies shown, vending booths set up, trivia, etc. It was a load of fun, however I have never seen something like it since.
Thanks for having this board in existance. I have lurked for a long time and figure it was time to dive in and start posting for myself.

Sounds like you're talking about the Three Stooge Fan Club Inc. which has basically been doing what you describe since 1975. This club is not affiliated in any way with the C3 fan club at stooges.com. We publish a quarterly newsletter ("The Three Stooges Journal") and have an annual meeting which brings together fans, Stooges relatives and supporting actors, films and rare memorabilia. There's more info available right here at this site....just click on "Three Stooges Journal" under the heading "Stooge info"

Hey, are you still living in Pittsboigh??????
I guess you attended at the Syria Mosque??? Man, were those Midnight shows outta control!!! Actually, the man who put on those festivals, Doug Drown, passed away a few years ago. I also think that after the Syria Mosque was torn down, that no one would have them anymore. There were a couple of festivals around Pittsburgh last year, one in Oakmont and one in Butler, but nothing to the extent of Mr. Drown's events.
Hey, check out the Fan Club....and JOIN NOW!!!! There is a carload of us that drive out to Philly for the Meeting in April! Get yer butt moving....same goes for the rest of you!!!! A truly class organization!!!

You are correct. It was the Syria Mosque. Good times.
I'm no longer living in Pittsburgh. That was just during my collage days. After looking at the address for the fan club you mentioned, I just realized that I am living about 20 minutes from their P.O. Box!! I will send off my money today. Can't wait to meet some enthusiastic fans at the next event.

Can someone fill me on the progress of the effort to put the Stooges on a U.S. commemorative stamp? I saw mention of it on a 1998 Stooges Journal, but I haven't been able to find any concrete information since. Are there efforts still afoot to help make this a reality?

There are no current organized initiatives by fans to lobby for a Stooge postal stamp. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that there will never be a Stooges stamp.
Stamp honorees are chosen by the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee. They meet behind closed doors and consider proposed honorees that have been submitted by the public. There are a number of guidelines that they follow but it is unclear if they are influenced by the sheer number of people who write in supporting any given candidate. For that reason, letter-writing campaigns (which we’ve undertaken for the Stooges in the past) may be of absolutely no help at all.
One ironclad rule is that candidates must be dead for at least ten years before they can be honored on a stamp. The only exception to this is deceased US Presidents who can be honored one year after death. Anyway, because of the 10-year rule, the Stooges may not have technically been eligible for a stamp until 2003 because Curly-Joe was still alive until 1993. Even though you’d figure a Stooges stamp would picture Moe, Larry and Curly, the committee may not have started the Stooges’ clock until after all of its members were dead.
After the committee chooses a subject to honor, it can then take 3-4 years before a stamp is issued. This is because of the time involved in deciding how to picture the honoree (young, old, etc) review possible designs and the like. There isn’t a lot of advance notice that someone is being honored until a public announcement is made. For that reason, there’s an outside chance that the Committee has already selected to honor the Stooges and is in the design process stage, but hasn’t yet made the official announcement. There’s also a chance that the Stooges are still under consideration for a future stamp. Of course, there’s also the possibility that the Stooges will never be honored on a stamp. Only a few subjects are honored each year and there are thousands of worthy nominees. And of course the committee could be afraid of negative publicity that a Stooges stamp could generate for the Postal Service (imagine the headlines “One Group of Stooges Honors Another….USPS to Issue Three Stooges Stamps”).
For more info on the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee and the honoree selection process, go to: http://www.usps.com/communications/organization/csac.htm

Gary, I think that we Stooges fans all ought to get together on e-mailing the Postal Service poohbahs for a Stooges stamp! It's high time! Quite a few other entertainers from that era have already been on a stamp, and the Stooges are getting short shrift (or, the short end of the shtick).
Even cartoon characters have had their own stamps— the Looney Toons gang, Krazy Kat, and a few others.
I'm going to put up a poll on this issue. Let's see what kind of response we get, and maybe that'll have some results, in that people might actually get motivated to do something. It can't do any harm!
Personally, I say that a stamp isn't enough; we ought to go for the big-time (in the trade, this is what we call "quick and dirty" graphics, as I spent a whole 45 minutes on it, but it gets the point across).

That dinner party music is perfect for the scene, almost as inspired as the choice of "Pop Goes The Weasel" for "Punch Drunks." Even though it was written by a contemporary Columbia in-house composer, it sounds more like something from 1908 than 1938, a composition by Rudolf Friml or Victor Herbert. Just the thing for an "uppah crust" (and pretentious) soiree.
I don't know if this counts as a Stooge Goof, but when we see the band that's supposedly playing it, it's only a trio, while the music on the soundtrack is being played by a fairly large orchestra.
-
Have to agree w/Pils re the music in the dinner scene from "Termites" - sort of an elegant, semi-Rudolf Friml music, one of the few times the Stooges used lengthy incidental scoring in one of their shorts. Somehow, this graceful music heightens the "etiquette" gags, which are mostly visual anyways, though I always laugh when Curly exclaims "Snowshoes!" while taking the paper frills off his lamb. Reminds me of the graceful Le Roy Shield compositions found in Laurel and Hardy's films - e.g. the use of the melodic "On A Sunny Afternoon" during the opening scenes of COUNTY HOSPITAL, where Stan's backfiring car obliterates a posted Hospital Zone, then continues as he (1) trips on the curb (2) can't figure out what "solarium" means (3) mistakes a delivery room for Ollie's hospital room (4) follows up his misunderstanding of "solarium" by asking if Mr Hardy is in the room next to the aquarium, and then (5) gets an aquarium of his own by being soaked by a water cooler.

I am a die hard 3 stooges fan. i also have a strong brooklyn jewish identity and identify with them not just becuase i'm a fellow knucklehead, but becuase of the jewish dialect the 3 stooges used in their films especially the yiddish words like "shikur" which means drunk. and "givalt" which means "oh my God" in yiddish. they really are the best.
anyway back to my request. i really love your site and i figured if many knuckleheads make a request it would have more clout and influence to get them to grant it.
as you probably know the 3 stooges are being aired on spike tv. over the years i have already accumilated most 3 stooges episodes on vhs and have some on DVD, but some i can only get thru network tv. perhaps my fellow knuckleheads can make a request to for some of the ones i still need to complete my collection have the fulfilment i have been seeiking all my life?
I'm sure you understand the empty feeling a fellow knuckehead can get if they dont have the stooges they need. to make my life complete i need a complete stooge library dont you agree?

Spike channel. The Stooges are on every AM at 9. They have a lot of commercials though. They stretch the 17 minute clips out to 30 minutes. So you get to watch two shorts in an hour. What is the world coming to. Especially that they have a habit of cutting some of the material out also.

I'm not sure I'm in the right place for this, & I recently went over 10 in postings, but I couldn't figure out where else I could ask this question.
In "Matri-phony", ancient Rome is called Erysipelas. In "Don't Throw That Knife", when Moe is biting Shemp's ear, Shemp exclaims, "Cut it out! You'll give me erysipelas" (although he pronounces it more as "ear"-ysipelas" - probably making a pun). I hadn't given the word much thought until recently, when it popped up in a Dashiell Hammett book I was reading. He's the creator of detective Sam Spade, & was publishing in the late 1920s/early 1930s. In none of these was the word used in any kind of context, so that you could at least guess what it was supposed to mean. I checked the internet, but to no avail.
I'm guessing it was some type of slang from the 1920s through the 1940s. And like most slang, it fell out of favor or was replaced by a new term. Does anyone here in stoogeland know what in the H E double hockey sticks the word "erysipelas" is supposed to mean?

I did a quick search on Dictionary.com (God I love Firefox) and found the following:
er·y·sip·e·las Pronunciation Key (r-sp-ls, îr-)
n.
An acute disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by a species of hemolytic streptococcus and marked by localized inflammation and fever. Also called Saint Anthony's fire.
Hope that helps! ;)

To enhance Dunrobin's answer to the meaning of the word, do a search of this word at Wikipedia.com and you'll get a more in-depth definition, and even what symtoms and risk factors to look out for. It seems that a mini statue of St. Anthony is the usual cure for this illness.

I am 48 yrs old...I grew up with the Stooges...everyday after school without fail...at 4pm...I would watch the 3 Stooges. I realize the "Niagra Falls" bit was wildly popular and has been beat to death....BUT....I have not seen it since I was a kid...but I always remembered it...and I always did the bit with my kids as they were growing up....now I do it with my grandkids.
Yesterday....I was channel surfing...and caught the very end of the Niagra Falls episode...I was in shock! I need to know the name of that episode <ducking> I want to download the bit...or go buy it somewhere so I can pass the "tradition" on to the Grandkids.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...and I do apologize for asking one of the "dont ask us that again" questions! I did use the search engine by the way...and I couldnt get any hits at all. But then again....I am a newbie.

GENTS WITHOUT CENTS (1944)
Go up to the top of the screen for the episode index, find GENTS, and the page for that episode will include DVD and VHS links to buy it on Amazon.com. The DVD volume is called "Healthy, Wealthy & Dumb;" the VHS volume is called "A Pain in the Pullman."
Btw -
The Stooges filmed the "Niagara Falls" routine in 1943 for a feature film called THE RIGHT GUY, released/retitled as GOOD LUCK MR. YATES (1943). The bit was cut from the final release. Jules White used the footage for GENTS WITHOUT CENTS one year later, producing the short around this piece of unused stock footage.

This is a common confusion, JazzBill. We had an extensive discussion about it last year, which you can find here (http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?topic=421.msg2033#msg2033).

Judging by your screen name, can I assume you are a fan of the now defunct Oldsmobile? My first car in high school in the late 60's was a 1957 Oldsmobile 88 Fiesta Wagon, hmmmmm, the stories I could tell you about it and what went on inside its comfy and ample interior.

That's from "The Big Idea," an early Ted Healy-Stooges short. Here's a digital copy that I've cleaned up as much as I could, but the picture quality is still pretty poor. One of our members might have a better image, or even an 8x10 glossy that they'd be willing to sell. Stay tuned, if there's anyplace you can find it, it's here!

Well, I certainly don't have any objections to those jokes, and I suspect that shemps#1 wouldn't either, since neither one of us is religious. Dunrobin is, though, and he has the final say. Why don't you send all three of us the joke by Private Message, and we'll let you know what we think before we put it on the board.
If you haven't used the PM system yet, give it a try— it's a great feature.

I imagine that they did, Percy, but I don't know any details, and I'm not sure if they ever entertained the troops overseas. Maybe one of our learned Stooge scholars will know; hopefully they'll notice the post.
BeAStooge? Garystooge? Any info on that? (I tried looking through the Journal Index, but I didn't find anything about it.)

I don't have a problem with that kind of a joke. (I'm a Christian, but I am opposed to "organized religion" so jokes about priests and rabbis, etc., definitely don't bother me.) ;D
In fact, I'd say (offhand) that about the only thing that I would just delete from the site is anything that is outright, graphically obscene, as we do have younger people as visitors and/or members. (I don't want cartoons or pictures from Playboy on the site, for example.)

How do you post something that will direct you to another site? I seen it done here, but I don't know how you do it.There is a little clip on a site called Jib-Jab called " Big Box Mart." It really tears into Wal-Mart. I don't have a lot of computer skills, so if it's really complicated, forget it. It would really fit on the" Hate Wal-Mart' category.

When you are posting, look above the comment box and you'll see just above the smileys a row of icons. A pinwheel, a speaker, a realplayer button, a quicktime button, etc. In about the center of this row of buttons is one that looks like a globe with a small piece of paper next to it. This button is called "Insert Hyperlink". After you have copied the link from your browser, or written it down, click this button. Inside the comment box will appear a pair of bracketed letters in this order - url and /url with the cursor blinking in the center. This is where you paste the link, or type it in. Make sure the link is in between the two opposing brackets for the link to work correctly in your post. It will appear in your post as the link you typed in. This is only one way of inserting a link. You may also insert an FTP link (two icons over). I'll let someone else coach you on that one.

Being a newbie, I wasn't sure where to post this, so my apologies ahead of time.
I noticed something missed in the notes for "Crash Goes The Hash". I think this would fall under "Out Of Character". At the end of the short, Curly kisses Moe instead of the actress. The scene cuts, and Moe drops his hat. Watch Larry. He looks down, notices that there is a mark on the floor (I assume it's a mark for Moe), and kicks Moe's hat over it. He also seems to double check to make sure it's not visible.
Thanks for the great website!!

Very new to the site. Is realplayer the only player that will play the short clips?
-
::)i think the three stooges are the most underrated comedy team in motion picture history hey have the same pathos & charm of a charlie chaplin, if one looks at their short films closely hey are so humble, it is easy to forget for many that they are great comedians heir comedy is classical - it will live forever - what is funny about the three stooges short films is the statement they make about the human condition
o matter how intelligent we think we are, in the end we are just like them, & everything we try ultimately leads to disaster

That's not a smart move to talk like that. To tell you the truth, your typing has just gotten worse and it is kind of hard to figure out what you're saying at times. The reason why the moderators want people to type properly is because they want people to understand what the posts are saying. They're not trying to be unreasonable or anything. So, it would be a better idea to improve your typing a little bit.

As Thump The Shoes said (I love your username for some reason, btw) there are handwritten letters by a couple of the Stooges out there that prove you to be wrong. Also, I have neither the time nor patience, nor do I care to edit your posts for punctuation/capitalization. That's your job, to make sure you follow the rules if you want to continue to post and use the site. My job is to make sure you follow the rules and kick your ass out if you continue to fail to do so.
A little piece of advice for you on other message boards, if some has the title "Administrator" or "Moderator" under their name don't try to piss them off and backtalk them if you want to continue posting.

What a bunch of horseshit.
Now's a perfect time to use a fairly new word in the English lexicon: ghey. It's pronounced just like "gay", and is used to mean lame/stupid. The spelling has been changed in an attempt to appease offended homosexuals. Your clusterfuck style of typing is not creative, funny, original, stylish or cool: it's lazy and GHEY.
So now you know the rules of the website and yet you continue to disobey them in an act of ghey defiance. You apologize for your first post, claim you understand the rules and our right to make said rules, then continue on breaking those rules. That makes you an asshole. I don't think asking for someone to type clearly so others can read their fucking posts without getting a headache was asking too much. This is not a democracy, not the United States. This is a website/message board in which I have been bestowed with administrative powers. It is with these administrative powers that I will be banning you for your ghey and assholish ways.

I am sure that there is proof otherwise. Both the "My Pal Moe" cd-rom and the book "One Fine Stooge" feature letters handwritten by Moe and Larry.
There's a major difference between James Joyce's "stream of consciousness" prose and the idiotic spewings of someone who can't type or spell or doesn't care to. That last chapter of "Ulysses" depicts the wandering thoughts of a woman who's falling asleep, so of course the result is run-on sentences, random changes of subject, and a dream-like quality. This is done very deliberately, and Joyce went even further with this technique (some critics said too far) in "Finnegans Wake;" the whole book is a "dream" that defies ordinary logic. That said, not only could Joyce write proper— and brilliant— English, he was fluent in several languages and once worked as a teacher for the Berlitz language schools.
Getting back to the present, I've seen quite a few examples of Vincent's attitude in the past few years; someone writes a piece of semi-literate babbling, and then when you call them on it for its being unreadable, they get defensive and claim that that's their "style," and that they're writing that way on purpose. Rubbish, I say!
[bash]
What's causing this? The condition of the public school system? I don't know, but I'd say that's at least part of the problem; we're handing diplomas to people and shoving them out the door when they still don't know the basics in English and math (not to mention history, civics, geography, and science), so the result is someone like Vincent... and there are plenty more of them out there.
>:(
This board really has gotten quiet in the moderating department lately— I haven't given anyone as much as a warning in a long time.

First of all, this is a message board, not a museum where people come to admire your "art." The purpose of message boards is to discuss things. How can people discuss anything if they can't read what you're typing?
-
If you're going to play around with the punctuation like that, why not go whole hog and remove every bit of it, along with all the spaces?
Think how much paper and ink could be saved... the Sierra Club would be thrilled about the savings in trees and the end of the mass-killing of octopi for their precious ink. Besides, I just don't approve of people who do things half-assed, so here's an example of my new writing style. All my posts will look like this from now on:

Isn't that better? You can read it faster, too, since you don't have to come to a full stop at a period, or a half-stop at a comma, or slow for the yellow at a semicolon.

I've never been one to fuck around and give all sorts of chances. If a person doesn't show improvement after the warning they most likely won't improve at all. What did it for me with this guy was his acknowledgement of a very reasonable rule and his flat out refusal to follow it, along with the bit about me editing his posts for him. Fuck that!
40 is "over the hill" not 30, and I won't soften when I near 40 either. Follow the simple rules or eventually get tossed, it's that simple.
All was quiet for awhile, then two banishments in two days. It's funny how that works.

In the News & Announcements message board, topic "Posting Restrictions for New Members" http://threestooges.net/forums/index.php?topic=92 ...
Because of the large number of poorly written posts and repetitive questions asked by new members, I have changed the permissions settings for Porcupines (newbies.)
Porcupines may not start new topics on any of the boards, including the General Discussion board, although they can reply to existing topics. After new members have posted 10 reply messages, they will move up the ranks to Grapehead, at which point they can start a topic as well as reply to others.
It's my hope that this will get new members to start looking around the message boards more, and perhaps seeing that their question was already answered. (There's only so many times that I can tell people that the "Niagara Falls" bit was in Gents Without Cents before I'll start going crazy myself.)

This site has a Videography, http://threestooges.net/videography.php, listing Three Stooges (and solo) home video 1980 - Present. Available products have Amazon.com links.
A Laurel & Hardy/Three Stooges DVD is most likely one of a multitude of bargain-basement collections of dubious quality, with public domain material of the Stooges (DISORDER IN THE COURT, MALICE IN THE PALACE, SING A SONG OF SIX PANTS, BRIDELESS GROOM) and L&H (BE BIG, FLYING DEUCES, UTOPIA) *. There are no official, studio-released DVDs that comingle the [copyrighted] films of the two comedy teams...
With one exception... Warner Home Video's recent TCM Archives: The Laurel & Hardy Collection with two of L&H's Hal Roach feature films, and the original TCM documentary ADDED ATTRACTIONS (2003) which covers the history of the short subject, and includes discussions of the Stooges and L&H. This DVD is listed in the Videography.
* Most pd collections are not listed in the Videography.

Later in the same sort, Dizzy Pilots, Moe asks Larry to "roll me a cigarette". They are flying in the open cockpit plane & when Larry dumps the tobacco into the rolling paper, it all blows back in his face. It gets even funnier because Larry then reaches in his pocket, pulls out what looks to be a cigar, & hands it to Moe, who doesn't seem to notice the difference!

How did Comedy Three obtain the rights from Maurer Productions
Comedy III always owned the trademark rights to the Stooges, since that corporation's creation in 1959 by Howard, Fine & DeRita.
Norman Maurer's film production/promotion activities, thru combinations of expediency, efficiency, etc., managed his father-in-law's & partners' interests in licensing, booking, et. al.,... and it all just sorta evolved into the Norman Maurer Productions company name on things during the '60s.
After Joe DeRita died in July 1993, his family (joined by the Fines), sued NMP over licensing profit distributions for the period following Norman's death in 1986. Unfortunately in the process, Norm's name and reputation were drug thru the mud by the plaintiffs' lawyers.
In 1994 the plaintiffs won, NMP was disbanded, and Comedy III was reinstated as the managing corporation of the Stooges' Trademark rights. C3 is still a 3-way Moe/Larry/DeRita-heirs entity, but...
Due to settlement agreements following the lawsuit, Moe's family transferred its management proxy over to the DeRita family. The DeRita heirs are the senior management of C3 and have controlled 2/3 of C3's activities since 1994.

Men In Black, Hoi Polloi, Fright Night, Termites of 1938, and one I think gets overlooked a lot, The Sitter Downers.
These are some of my favorites,along with the ones Shemps#1 gave you. But if you ask 100 people , you'll get 100 different answers.
-
My choices are: Violent Is The Word For Curly, Three Smart Saps, Booby Dupes, Busy Buddies, and Crime On Their Hands.
-
"Punch Drunks," "False Alarms," "Violent Is The Word For Curly," "Brideless Groom," and "Scrambled Brains," if I'm limited to five shorts.
-
"Malice in the Palace" "Sing a Song of Six Pants" "I'm a Monkey's Uncle" "Dizzy Detectives" and "Dizzy Pilots" and just to throw in Joe Besser short, my favorite is "Quiz Whizz"
-
Thanks for those picks. I'm almost halfway through the collection and I'd still have a hard time picking a few to show someone else. I don't think there's one yet I didn't remember seeing when I was young. That's pretty many hours remembered, so far.
Many interesting thoughts about seeing them like this. I hope I can gather my thoughts in some post later on.
"Gents Without Cents" was the one I viewed that is very UN-characteristic of their movies. [I love song & dance, so I really enjoyed this whole move. Plus, this version of the "Niagra Falls ! ! Slowly I turned . . . classic vaudeville routine is sort of a "heritage" moment, not really pure Stoogieness. Check an online search to find out some history perspectives on it, if you like.] We know them so well that going out of the basic Stooge movie recipe (in other words, adhering to the same basic "formula" and format of all the other Stooge projects) we expect doesn't detract from the enjoyment for us Stoogie Fans -- for example the long and showy/athletic girls stage act. This "interrrupts" the characteristic center-stage-flow-of-mayhem that's so unique to their film work. Very unusual to see action going on without it's really being tied to their special blend of antics and fun. It's rare to lose kinship with their personalities like in "Gents Without Cents". In every other one I've viewed in this collection : even if the stories heavily involve other characters' lives/situations, the Stooges themselves are somehow connected. They're not usually "off in the wings" somewhere (not for long, anyhow).
Anymore suggestions for what you'd show another person to clue them in to Stooge-works would still be appreciated.

They've sure been coming out of the woodwork, all right. I hadn't banned anyone in at least a year, then suddenly...!
Looking back over his posts, this guy started out okay, but then he went off the rails (or off his meds, maybe). Who knows? This is something new: people joining, making a few posts, and then asking to be banned.
Oh, well... "We aims ta please!"

How dare you Pils? I mean geez, asking him to use normal font? What a jerk.
Perhaps I should add "use normal font style, size, and color" to the guidelines as well.

Well, that's the only short where Moe asks anyone to roll him a cigarette. However, there are other shorts where the stooges roll cigarettes. One short that comes to mind is "Uncivil Warriors," where Curly rolls himself a cigarette, but he almost burns himself because it wasn't rolled properly.

We had to put a restriction on new member postings because of ongoing problems with trolls and all kinds of assorted idiots (mixed nuts!). You have to make ten posts before you can start a topic of your own.
:police:
This might seem harsh, but what we've been trying to do here is keep up the quality of our discussion boards, and the policy has worked very well. It gives the moderators a chance to evaluate people's motives before letting them go ahead and say whatever they want. After you meet that (modest) standard, then you've got all sorts of freedom... a lot more than you'll find on some other boards.
So, hang in there, you've only got seven more posts to go and then you can start your own topics.

Who else here hates that they Colorized the Three Stooges Shorts. I hate that they change what has been funny for Centuries. They have no need to colorized them they are perfect the way they are as B&W. And my Favorite Short of theirs is "Hold That Lion" where for the only time do you see all Three Howard Brothes on screen together. I hated that they cut the Part out of "Malice in the Palace" where Curley was the Cheif. Anyone wants to start a List with me Featureing them I will love to chat to you about it.

Can anyone tell me whether Moe ever uses the word "lollapalooza" in any short and if so, which one? Our local Stooge show host was told that the yearly Chicago Lollapalooza concert was named because one of the originators heard Moe say it in a Stooge short an is trying to verify this. I don't remember hearing it.

Lowly peasant Bill,
It's nice to see a peon such grovel at our feet. The answer to your question is quite simple really, Dunrobin locked the particular thread in question. Only the deities of this website, Dunrobin, Pilsner Panther, and myself, can post in a thread after it is locked. I hope that is explanation hasn't gone over your meager head.

Did I do that? ???
If I did, it was purely accidental - or maybe instinct just took over. I honestly don't remember locking it when I replied, but I was doing 2 or 3 things at once and I get distracted sometimes. It was unintentional, and I'll go to it right now and unlock it.
OK - it's unlocked now.

Can a member who starts a thread lock their own thread? I assumed it was you because I didn't lock it.
-
As a matter of fact, yes, they can. I hadn't thought about that; since he was banned fairly quickly, I didn't consider that he might have done it himself. It's still quite possible that I did it myself, though.
Either way it's unlocked now. ;)

No, it was probably him then; wanting to make sure he got the "last word". Little did he know that I can post in locked threads. I would have unlocked it if I knew it was him, I just didn't want to step on your toes.

I just checked the logs, and it only shows me changing the "Locked" status this evening. If I had locked it earlier today, it would have been in the log, so it must have been him.

Yep - it was screwed up alright, and it was Pilsner's fault. [bonk]
He updated the notes for Pilsner's Pick of the Week, and he put a long line in as a break, instead of using the "horizontal rule" (< hr >) command. I'll take my share of the blame, though, in Pilsner's defense; there wasn't a button for it on the toolbar in the edit window. (It's there now, Pils, although you may have to clear your browser's cache first to make it appear.)
Needless to say, it's fixed now. Sorry about that! :-[

Hello, there! I'm a newbie on this site without actually being a newbie to stooge forums. I've been out of the loop for awhile. Some folks might know me from awhile back, and this seemed as nice a place to say "hello!" as any. So...hello!
To make this official, I'll ask a Stooge question: Has there been any discussion about creating a DVD box set with the stooges, without necessarily paying for the remastered/colorized versions? It seems a shame, with reasonably-priced Marx Brothers and Harold Lloyd features being released, that the stooges are almost cost-prohibitive if you want to own a DVD collection. Just didn't know if anything was in "the works". There's only so many versions of "Disorder in the Court" and "Brideless Groom" you can buy for cheap.

Notre Dame reference??
I am looking for the episode where Curly makes a reference to Notre Dame. I believe it is either You Natzy Spy, Dutiful but Dumb or I'll Never Heil Again.
I think Moe says something like "I'll take this route"
Larry says "i'll take this route"
and Curly says"....and I'll take Notre Dame and seven points"
Any help?
-
It was "You Nazty Spy!"
It happened when Curly was supposed to shoot that Mati Herring woman for being a spy. After Curly blindfolds himself and accidentally shoots Moe, the woman escapes. Then Moe says "We must get her back." Then Larry says "I'll be satisfied if we get her halfback." Then Curly says, "I'll take a quarterback. In fact I'll take Notre Dame and two points."
-
Did Curly have one or two children? I know that he had at least one daughter. Is she alive? Has she been involved in any Stooges events?

Im new here, i just bought 2, 3 stooges dvds made by a company in australia called mra.I cant wait to recieve them here in greece.I bought these off ezydvd.com.Its volume 1 which has these episodes a plumbing we will go,all the worlds a stooge,in the sweet pie and pie,babysitters jitters,rip, sew, stitch.Volume 3 has if a body meets a body,monkey buisness men,spook louder,women haters,violent is the word for curly.My question is this , i know the episodes are good, but how is the picture quality on these specific australian dvds ? Thanks in advance .
-
Anyone?
-
Hold your horses. Not many people have these Australian releases. Most people have those rip-off DVDs released by Sony. So, many people including me won't be able to answer your question.
-
Yeah, i got to admit i never got the region 1 sony stooges dvds, because they were very expensive.For the price i got these 2 australian volumes1, and 3, they are still cheaper than 1 volume of the sony dvds !Im guessing the picture quality on the australian releases, wont be as good as on the region 1, but for the price ive bought them im not complaining.
-
Hey guys ive recieved volume 1 of the 3 stooges dvd from australia !Id say the picture quality on this is just a small step up from videotapes.Also for some odd reason , the curly shorts have better picture quality than the 2 shemp episodes on this disc.The dolby mono sound is decent considering these shorts age.I cant do a direct comparison between the picture quality of this dvd ,and the ones from region 1 because ive never owned them.My guess is the region 1 versions look better, keep in mind im not saying these look horrible but dont expect them to look as good as universals region 1 abbott and costello dvd collections.I used abbott and costello because thats the only night and day dvd diffrence that came to mind.Anyway, if youre looking for a very very cheap alternative to the region 1 stooges you cant go wrong with this. I cant give you my thoughts on the third volume because i havent recieved it yet.Overall im satisfied, and ill probably get more volumes of this in the future.

2. I cant see I cant see and the other stooges reply whats the matter and Larry goes I got my eyes closed....any help would be appreciated...
-
The first quote was from "Three Little Pigskins."
"I've got my eyes closed" was done in numerous shorts, but the only two that I can think of off the top of my head are "Ants In The Pantry" and "A Missed Fortune."
I be thinking up more!
-
The "Real George" joke was used in a few stooges shorts that I have seen - but I don't know what it's supposed to mean. Could someone explain to a young stooges fan the meaning of this "real george, dig that crazy" joke? ;D

It means something like "real cool, look at.....".

The real thing, not fake, phony, etc. "George" refers to George Washington on the $1 bill, e.g., "real George," not counterfeit.
Mid 1940s slang, already out-dated by the time it turned up in Stooge shorts like SPOOKS! (1953).
-
Very good Brent. Now I have one that maybe you or someone else might know. There's a line in "FiFi Blows Her Top" that I don't get. Phil Van Zandt asks Moe for his house key, thinking it might open his door.Moe then says, "Oh no, thats impossible, our key was made out of a little piece of steel", then holds his fingers a couple of inches apart. Now, is there a punch line that I'm missing? Or is it part of a bit that got screwed up in editing?.......Anyone know??
-
This is some what "off topic" but thought I would ask anyway. Seeing as the stooges are slap stick and I take people on this board enjoy that type of thing, (I sure do) do any of you like that Jackass, Bam type stuff? I know it is not the same, but there is alot of falling down and slapping in there. I was just wondering about that for no good reason.
Thanks.
-
Never seen it. But I am outside of the "box". If it wasn't for HNIC and news, I'd have them yank my cable and save the $$/mo.
What Jessica Simpson wore when she was "porked" by OJ & Tom Cruise on Oprah... I ain't gotta clue. Sorry.
Ask me another question! Like who is the vice-president! And why he is better than ALGore... the "armpit monster".

I'm sorry, this isn't really related to this thread, but I don't see a button or option anywhere to start a new thread, so here goes...
Does anyone remember the following routine?
Out of the blue, Moe slaps Larry: "SHADDAP!"
"I didn't say anything!" Larry protests.
"That's for what you were thinkin'!"
Can anyone tell me in which short this routine appears? I have checked the index of routines and don't see it.
My sons have been bugging me about this ever since I told them about it.
Thanks to all in advance...

I moved your question over to this thread where it has a better chance of being answered.

Hi. It's been a few years since I've posted here. Lately I've been wondering if any of the Stooge shorts featuring Joe Besser are available on DVD?
Currently I have a set that has some really good Curly and Shemp efforts, but just for kicks it would be fun to have some of the Joes.
-
Wolfsblood,
There arent any official Besser/Stooge dvd's, but there are a lot of bootleg dvd's out there on the net.
-
Does anyone out there know if there are any relatives of Joe Besser still living in the St. Louis area? Joe is a St. Louis native, and 2007 is the 100th anniversary of Joe's birth.
As the organizer of the Tour de Stooges (http://stooges.rogerkramercycling.org/) bicycle ride, I would like to invite any of them over so we can honor Joe during our event on May 5 in nearby Lebanon, Ill.
If you know of any, don't hesitate to post here or send me a private message with the info.
Thanks,
Roger Kramer

Besides being a big fan of The Three Stooges, I’m a collector and fan of OTR (Old Time Radio). I have thousands of hours of radio shows, broadcast between 1935 and 1950 that included guest appearances of all the stars of that time, except the Stooges. Why? Their humor would have translated so well to that medium I don’t understand why they didn’t have their own show, or even make guest appearances.
I checked with all the people I buy from, no one knows of any Stooge recorded appearances. Am I missing something?
-
Morty ...
My guess is that Columbia had "rights" on our boys that prevented them from doing things that would promote themselves without Columbia's "Okay" ... garystooge and/or BeAStooge would be in a far better situation to answer this query .. so I'll leave it to their expertise.
I'm also a fan of Old Time Radio and have exhausted the cd's at my local library, plus a few cd's available at the local book store ... can you steer me to a richer cache?
-
I've bought from http://otrcat.com/ and http://otrradio.com/ http://www.oldtimeradiohome.com/ several others I can't remember, and a bunch from eBay. Just type "OTR" in the search.
I've been frustrated that all the vendors are selling discs made from the same source. They're all MP3s at low sample rates and when they recorded them from the 78s they didn't do any restoration.
There's a new site, http://www.radiolovers.com/ that offers hundreds of free downloads. There's also free stuff here: http://www.oldtimeradiofans.com
I know I'm forgetting a lot, if you use up these sites, just Google "OTR Radio"

JazzBill,
Give him a Karma anyway!
I'm giving him another 2 since I watched 3 muted football games, and listened to 3 Amos & Andy's! Haven't done dickey-do all day! Which is what I wanted! My left hand doesn't tingle for the first time in a month! I've been on the verge of having my 2nd stroke all December!
Hell, I was so lazy today I called the funeral home directly and asked Rick to sign the Guest Book in my name! Saved me 2 hours of driving and having to shave and suit meself!
I raced 2 cars in my '04 Avalanche this am and blew them away! Squeeled the tires on dry pavement! :D I love that truck! If GM ever offers 0% again, I'll replace it and the only thing that'll be different is I'll get the $4000 Sat-Nav radio option system that has the backup cameras in the rear bumper. I fear running over a neighbors' grandkid playing in my driveway. Plus it would be handy for hooking up the boat trailer. Maybe those step things for little people. I can understand Mom & Dad having trouble climbing in without using a stool, but they are 77 & 80.
The non-standard options that I'd have to transfer/re-install are the aircraft landing lights and the 3-trumpet freight-train air horns.
"Hey "grandma", what color of green light are you waiting for? <beep!>" They jump so high in their seats, I'm lucky I haven't killed someone when they hit the car roof from their seat! >:D Totally illegal. Even the landing lights. But they brighten up the area for a mile +. Almost like daylight.
And pity the fool that doesn't dim his high-beams... I give him 2 chances to dim his lights. Then wait and fucking blind him with the aircraft landing lights!
As long as I am telling tales out of school... my last trick is a 35mm camera flash at night. Just as the light is about to turn green, I beep my factory horn. The guy turns and looks towards me, I flash him/her, the light turns green, and I'm a 1/2 mile down the road before he can see again! I only do that to Fucktards!
(My new favorite word! Thanks S#1!)
James
PS. Yes. I am an asswipe. Thank me very much! >:D

No. Search for me. I gave it to Pils.
Way cool site though.
Giff, you just gave me a "mental masturbation"! I need to "marry" old 16mm/8mm/super 8/videos to some kind of sound. Either old radio/albums and current day voice-overs from my parents.
Problem is that I only have 30Gb left of 80Gb on my laptop. With A/V, I'll suck that dry in a heartbeat!
What your post made me think of was old-time radio and a detachable harddrive. Not a memory stick... Something bigger! Like 1Tb. Do they sell something like that?

Hello, I'm new to this board and not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.
But, here goes.
I have been trying to find out if the Farrelly Brothers who about 4 years ago had signed up to write a new
story for a modern day Stooge movie ever got off the ground, or did it become more than they could handle? ??? Each year from 2003 to 2005 was suppose to be the year they were planning to release it.
Does anyone know what happened ??? ::) :-\

The way to "marry" those older forms of video (16/8/Super8-mm) may take some software "jumping through hoops" ... for my conversions, I use a simple device called an "IMic" that allows me to plug in one of those audio/video cords (the red/white/yellow tipped cords that you plug into a Stereo, VCR or DVD player), and then you can record onto your computer from sources such as 33 1/3 LP's (or other vinyl speeds), cassette tapes, VCR or DVD, or any other sound source that supports the 3-color cord thing. However, it sounds like your biggest problem is finding the mem space to store all this audio gold ... good luck.
Knucklehd ...
There have been several threads (topics of conversation) over the last few years about the Farrelly Bros. and their fool-hearty attempt to make a Three Stooges movie ... the last one made the assertion that the Farrelly Bros. had given up on the project and sold it to someone else ... I can't recall the thread name, but perhaps BeAStooge (our resident Stooge genius) can direct you to the proper thread for an up-to-date reading of the current effort to make such an ill-advised movie.
-
I just wanted to give a shout-out (and well-deserved karma point) to Fred and morty for the OTR sites. If you have a peer to peer file sharing program on your computer you can search Old Time Radio or specific shows and most likely find some stuff.

Cool. I checked it out on Amazon.
A fellow computer geek told me about a 500GB Western Digital External Hard Drive. He had a coupon and was going to check this weekend if he could buy more than 1, (1 for me, 1 for him). I'm down to my last USB port (1 of 2 on the monitor) so I'm going to have to get a 2nd USB hub. Good thing I have a big desk! I'll email you a pic of the "spider web" of wire!
Here is the strategy that I sent to my brother... feel free to suggest corrections/additions:
-----------------
I think I have figured out the album/movie/video/DVD dilemma. With some help from my geeky pals:
1. Record the old visual media in it's entirety to DVD. (JKV)
2. Record the old album media in it's entirety to CD. (JKV)
3. Get:
http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-iMic-External-Sound/dp/B00006BALQ
An external USB sound card (me).
4. Get a cheap microphone from Radio Shack. (me)
5. Get a 500GB external hard drive (me).
6. Sit Mom & Dad down in front of their big TV and use my laptop + #3, #4, & #5 to record their comments/descriptions about the DVD's, while simultaneously recording them and the TV on the camcorder. (me)
7. Mix their comments as voice-overs to their albums and old-time radio of that era from #2. Burn that to a CD. (me).
8. Get an external DVD burner. (me)
9. Using DVD from #1, and the remixed audio from #7, and the video from #6 to synchronize the audio and video... burn a new DVD master and copies.
Voila! No more silent movies! It'll take us all year! ;^D
----------------------------------------------------
Is that the "software hoops" solution?

If anyone's familiar with downloading binaries from usenet news groups, alt.binaries.sound.radio.oldtime usually has a big selection old radio shows in MP3 format posted.
I've been listening to OTR for years. There were soap operas, thrillers, news, and of course comedies. If you d/l something and you don't like it, don't give up on old radio, just try another show. My favorites are Jack Benny and Fibber MCGee & Molly.

Jack Benny and Fibber McGee & Molly, those are two of my favorites as well. I also dig The Great Gildersleeve, Our Miss Brooks, The Shadow, Suspense, Burns & Allen, Amos & Andy, Abbott & Costello, Fred Allen, and many others. It's gotten so I listen to the radio much more than watch TV.

- Warner Bros. backed out of this fiasco-in-the-making a couple years ago
- The Farrelly Bros.' option to produce and direct lapsed last year
- C3 partnered with independent producer First Look Pictures in October 2006
- C3 said it may use the Farrellys' script

Hello,
I have always been a Three Stooges fan and I would like to know exactly how many episodes of the Three Stooges have been put onto DVD because I was thinking of purchasing this box set of the Three Stooges (http://www.tvaddicts.tv/movie/comedy/The_Three_Stooges.html?gclid=CPyt8rLY6YkCFSXLYAodFjh1FQ). But apparently all the shorts have not been released onto DVD yet, so I would like to know if the product is official or not.
Thanks,
Corey

Shemp did not "hung" himself, and if he had, he would have HANGED himself. He died of a heart attack on his way home from a boxing match. By the way, how the hell did the name of this topic get changed to "Did Shemp ever hung himself?" I guess the use of the word "Hung" in this case is vulgar!!!!!!

Hi folks;
I'm new to this board, and I've got the following question;
In pretty much all of the old shorts, all 3 of the stooges appear to be shorter than everyone else.
Was this a camera trick, or were they all just shorter than most everyone else?
I have read Moe's and Larry's height stats, but not the others.
Thanks.

In real life, the stooges were very short. Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe were all 5'4". Curly was 5'5" and Shemp was 5'6". You bring up a very interesting question because it shocked me how much taller all the women were. Women aren't that much taller than 5'4" because the average height for women is 5'5". So, either women back them were very tall or they purposely picked tall women to make the stooges seem very short.
-
Hi-
I'd like to ask another question, please.
Does anyone know why the Joe Besser shorts aren't officially out, and why?
It seems as if most of the stuff that is available, is out, either on vhs or dvd.
I tried searching, and researching this, but just can't find an answer.
Also, I was wondering, did Joe Derita, and Joe Besser ever meet?
Did they ever do anything together? (Reunion of sorts, appearances, etc)...
I know there was always talk of Besser being the 'last' stooge, but it seems as if not much
emphasis was on DeRita, while both were still alive at the same time.
Thanks.

Since this a relatively unexplored topic here at threestooges.net (AND since I know specifically that BeAStooge and garystooge visit this topic often), I put forth the following query as a "newbie" (even though I'm a "decrepitly") ...
I was watching some of my "New 3 Stooges" cartoons (about a dozen) and it hit me while viewing the end credits - they declare that the persons repsonsible for the "stories and storyboards" are:
Jack Miller Barbara Chain
Sam Cornell Jack Kinney
Art Diamond Nick George
Warren Tufts Pat Kearin
Cecil Beard Homer Brightman
Lee Orgel (also listed as Supervisor of Production)
Dave Detiege (also listed as Associate Producer)
After the "it hit me" spell, I wondered about a few things ...
1. Are the storyboards still around for viewing/purchasing?
2. How deep of an influence was Lee Orgel on the New 3 Stooges cartoons? He's listed as a "Production Supervisor", but in an interview with him supplied by the C3 folks when releasing the first "New 3 Stooges" DVD, he stated that he had a hand in the boys affairs up to, and including, having them named as the "National Safety Foundation Spokespersons" with the tagline of "Don't be a Stooge" in order to make our boys more palatible for a family (of the mid '60's) to recieve.
3. "Warren Tufts" ... come on, there's gotta be a connection somewhere. (Sonny)
-
To answer #1, many years back I was able to pick up photocopies of about 12 pages of storyboards from cartoon #108. I've seen a few other sets of photocopies floating around in the years since, but I've never seen any of the original storyboards offered for sale.
Beastooge would be better able to answer your questions #2&3.

Hi guys-
I too, am a bit of a collector, and I recently went over my collection, on both dvd and vhs tape. It gets very confusing though, when you see how shorts were orgainzed somewhat by a category.
But, when they started putting out the dvds now, it gets more confusing.
Does anyone have any insight as to what will come out next?
I think a chronilogical order of shorts would be good.
There seems to be about 100 + of the original shorts that aren't out on dvd yet.
I'm also still trying to find when the Besser shorts will be on dvd, and why it seems
like they were never on tape.
Thanks.
-

Actually, none of the Joe shorts ever were on tapes! To put it bluntly, most of them just plain stink! However, as BeAStooge mentioned, Sony is working on chronological sets. The Joe shorts should be released sooner or later.
One further note, all 190 shorts have been aired on TV at one time or another.
-
I've loved the stooges since I was 4 years old (I'm almost 21 now). When I was about 7 years old, TBS had a Curly All-Nighter to celebrate Curly's birthday. During commercial breaks, they'd show clips people sent in of people doing their best impressions of Curly. At the age of 7, I was able to make it onto the program. As I type this, the tape is playing behind me. Haven't gotten to my part, yet. I should consider posting the clip on youtube to embarass myself.

THE THREE STOOGES 75th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL (2003)... no.
THE THREE STOOGES (2000)... no, sorta. It was privately distributed on VHS to the voting membership of the Television Academy's Emmy Awards, part of ABC's and Sony's marketing campaign to grab nominations for Michael Chiklis and the TV movie. (It received no nominations, btw.) It has never been made available on home video, commercially.
Both above titles are in this site's FILMOGRAPHY (http://threestooges.net/filmography.php). Every movie, on its respective page, will have an Amazon.com link if it's available on DVD and/or VHS.

Hey guys i'm new here just wondering where i can purchase all CURLY ONLY Dvd's ?
Exactly how many are there? I have 5 Dvd's with 4 Episodes on them each.I looked at the site list and counted over 100 with curly. ::) Also on the stooge goofups where do I post what I found there were alot of things that were not mentioned.That is all for now.
-
The easiest way to buy these Curly DVDs is to purchase them over Amazon.com. There is an excellent videography on this site, and there are links to order them. There are 10 of them that were released by Columbia that contain all Curly. They are:
Curly Classics
Stooges And The Law
Healthy, Wealthy And Dumb
All The World's A Stooge
Nutty But Nice
G.I. Stooge
Goofs On The Loose
Stooged And Confoosed
Stooges On The Run
Stooges At Work
I'm not real sure how to post Stooge Goofups. Some of the others may be able to help.
-
I found it on page 2. I guess we've been demoted.
Yep - it looks like we did go down in the rankings on Google, although we were still near the top of the first page on a Yahoo! search. I ran the "Site Promoter" last night and resubmitted the site to the various search engines, so hopefully we'll go back up again. ;)

Has anyone picked up the Dancing Lady dvd?
I happened to come across it, and was very pleased to find out that they also included
Curly's "Roast Beef And Movies", and the "Plane Nuts" short with Ted Healey.
Also, Dancing Lady is great, too.
I'd recommend it.
BTW, does anyone know of any more 'lost' shorts, or movies that may come out?
I have picked up Soup to Nuts, Meet The Baron w/ Gold Raiders, and have Kook's Tour and Jerks Of All Trades on tape.
Thanks.

I read that TCM's print of "Dancing Lady" is incomplete. I am wondering if they have received a new, uncut print since this was written (2003).
The recently restored, DVD-version of DANCING LADY is missing a scene with Larry and Ted. The only original camera negative in Warner Bros.' vaults is the edited version of the film. The complete film does exist, but apparently only in 16mm form... no negative, or 35mm master print of the complete film is known to exist in the studio archive. The restoration project entailed restoring the studio's one, surviving camera negative.
Throughout the film, Larry is seen working on a jigsaw puzzle. In the missing scene, he completes the puzzle and discovers it's a picture Adolph Hitler. He knocks the table over, yelling "Oy vey, it's Hitler!" Ted responds "What'd'ya 'spect... Santie Claus?"

I am new to this forum but hope to become a more active member with time. The reason I sought this site out is to locate a film clip that I would like to include in a presentation. I need to find the episode (or episodes) that have the routine where Curly tells time using three wristwatches. Any help would be appreciated. If my question has been asked and answered in the past, I apologize in advance.
Thanks.
-
There are three shorts (that I can think of at the moment) that include the three watches bit.
Moe and Curly do the routine in "Dutiful But Dumb,"
Moe and Larry in "Rhythm And Weep"
Moe and Shemp in "Studio Stoops."
They have all been released to video.
Hope that helps!

I'm trying to find the name of the one where they ended up in a Harem...and of course dressed up as Harem girls!
One of the names they used was...Maha...and the tagline was..."Oh Maha!!!" Prompting the reply..."Ah Ha !!!"
The way they said it was simply hilarious.
I haven't seen it in LOTS of years and would appreciate knowing if anyone can come up with the name of it.
Thanks.

The 1953, "Pardon My Backfire", is one of my all time favorites. Is this available on VHS, or DVD, with or without other Stooges Shorts ? ???
-
I really enjoy "Pardon My Backfire" as well. Unfortunately, it has never been released to video or DVD. However, I have a decent copy that I taped off TV a couple years back.
-
I have the 3D versions-- both the shutter glasses (if you want to spring for the tv attachment, this is THE best way to see the 3D effect) and the anaglyph (red/blue) versions. Same for Spooks!.
...There was an officially unofficial release of Pardon My Backfire in Region 4, Australia a few years ago. The compilation disc from Magna-Pacific is out of print.

It would be pretty hard to beat Christine McIntyre. I always thought a poll on the best co-stars would be interesting. But you would have to break it down into levels. Something like a A-list and a B-list. It wouldn't be fair to put Vernon Dent against somene like Eddie Laughton. You would have to have a A-list with people like Vernon Dent , Emil Sitka, Bud Jamison and Christine McIntyre. The B-list would have people like Eddie Laughton, Dudley Dickerson and Phil Van Zandt competing.

I love Christine myself, she was great. But Thump is correct in how hot Miss Darin was. To quote Shemp "Dish? Yowzer she's a Flying Saucer!" ;)
I have to agree with Jazz about breaking it down, some of the Stooges regular co-stars were better than others. It wouldnt be fair to compare them. I'm suprised someone hasn't done a poll like that yet.

A few years back at the Stoogeworld website I conducted a supporting players "tournament". I took 64 supporting players and put them into brackets like the NCAA basketball tournament and then people voted on their favorite from each pairing, with the winners advancing to the next round.

My Question- Did anyone watch "The Caine Mutiny" on cable TV this weekend? I laughed my ass off as I spied Kenneth MacDonald...who played"Lefty Loomis" and other characters, playing a naval officer at the court martial of the Caine mutineers! Quite a departure from his character in Stooge shorts, some research showed he has quite a resume as a serious actor 8)

(1) Welcome to the site! ;D
(2) I moved your post to this thread, since that is were it belongs. (The thread you originally posted it to had nothing to do with your question.)
(3) Quite a few clips from the Stooges shorts were issued under different titles on 16mm film, usually (if not always) without sound. They weren't "new" shorts, but rather clips taken from existing Stooges shorts previously released in the theaters.
I don't know which short "Milk and Money" may have come from without a description of the scene, but from the title I'm going to guess that it is from Busy Buddies (http://threestooges.net/episode.php?id=78).

Hi i found 2 stooge films on ebay none i have never heard of.
1. Smashing Tomatoes
2. Milk and Money
Has any one heard of these films? ???
Silent, 5-minute, retitled abridgements from a handful of the Columbia shorts, marketed for home viewing with a toy 16mm projector in the late 1940s, by a company named Excel.
Back in 1988, The Three Stooges Journal published a detailed 2-part article about the projector, and a list of the Stooge titles sold with it.

I'll do one better. That list that I published back in Journals 46-47 was current at the time, but that was back in 1988. Over the past 20 years I've uncovered about 20 additional titles. Below is a more up-to date listing. I may have missed 1 or 2....if so I'll post an addendum to cover those. Note that some of the titles below were marketed in a variety of lengths (50-ft, 100-ft or 200-ft) while others just in a single length. In addition, some were marketed in 8mm and 16mm formats while others were sold in just one of those formats.

I need help with an episode I have tried to find that I remembered watching years ago. I don't remember too much from it, or the year which it was filmed.
I know the three stooges were Moe, Larry and Curly.
The only part from this episode I remember is when Curley, disguised as a fortune teller of some sort with think glasses was sitting down with Moe, and he began to speak gibberish and Moe would be translating what curly was saying into English, and then Moe would speak gibberish back to curly. I remember I laughed so hard I cried when I saw that skit and was wondering if anyone knew what episode I was talking about….I was told it was from the film “Three Arabian knuts” but they were wrong and that was not the film.

Are you looking for a single word, or is the answer supposed to be the title of a Stooges film? I can't think of any short or film where the Stooges were on an egg hunt or anything similar, and the only episode title that struck me as possibly appropriate is "The Yoke's on Me" from 1944.

That's what they told me. I know it's one word and those are the only cluses I've been given.
-
Perhaps it was from one of their cartoon segments. That sure doesn't ring a bell from a short or DeRita feature. Could they be refering to a cartoon Stooges segment?
-
Not sure if this helps or not. Based on the "clues", nothing came to mind. The only "egg" reference that popped in my mind was Mrs. Eggerly the landlady from "A Pain In The Pullman." ("Telephone for the Three Stoooooges!")
Not to mention Hammond Egger from "Three Dark Horses."
Let us know when you get this figured out!

Has anyone actually seen a real letter press? I've only ever seen one in Three Stooges shorts. It seems that the only use for it is to mash people heads. What in the world would you use a letter press for? Does anyone know for sure?
-
I've seen commercial letterpresses at my great-grand father's printing business. He bought the business in the 1870's from his employer who was retiring.
It is what it is. You put in the typeset with the inked typeface, a sheet of paper, and press out a page of whatever. Newsprint, handbills, ads, whatever. It gave an "even" appearance to the lettering, rather than light in one corner and dark in the opposite corner.
Obviously the commercial versions were of a different (faster) design than the one the Stooges used in "Disorder in the Court". But the same principle applies. Think of it as printing a newsletter vs. printing a newspaper.
Current day "letter presses" and printing is quite an amazing process. What has Gutenberg wrought?

Thanks! An answer to one of life's great mysteries. I really appreciate it. I need to get one. It would make a great conversation piece. And who knows? I may need it one day, but not for pressing letters.

As far as I know, there are no plans from Sony to release the Stooges to Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. However, with the software on my computer, I could put the shorts onto a mini-HD-DVD. There is even a slim chance I may be able to transfer them to Blu-Ray.

Hi - I would like to find out which episode has the scene(s) where Moe has a headache and a cat goes walking softly by, and Moe yells "Quit stomping around!" I saw this as a kid. I have frequent headaches and this episode comes to mind everytime because every little noise or light is so painful. It gives me a little comic relief, I guess you could say - I can still picture the cat - it looks so shocked to be yelled at and goes running off. :laugh:

You are probably thinking of "Idiots Deluxe" made with Moe, Larry and Curly in 1945. It's also in "Guns A Poppin!" made in 1957 with Besser as the third Stooge.

Hi: Love the site.
I'm just wondering when the other two Howard brothers (Irving and Jack) passed away and if there is any biographical information available on them. I know there is a picture of one of them in Moe Howard and the Three Stooges.
I'm also wondering what is the name of the tune the boys play in "Disorder in the Court." The song is one of my favorite little "jingles" and gets stuck in my head for days after I watch that particular short.
Thanks

What I found the most irratating and insulting, about the colorized DVDs, besides the fact that it wasted so much time and money in a colorization process that simpley wasn't needed or wanted, was the ridiculous claim made on the back cover of one set of shorts. It actually read, "Funnier in color." WHAT!?! :o ??? That makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever. A film is either funny or not, and colorizing a b/w film won't make it any funnier. Geesh, what lamebrains. Well, at least with this new two-disc set from Sony, it appears they have finally wised-up.

Since I can't find the post in the topic about the new DVD set I'll just ask it here.
I just finished watching the first DVD, and was wondering what was cut/removed from earlier releases of "Three Little Beers"? I haven't seen this one in a while and it seemed normal to me. I'm curious as to what was removed and why it was taken out. Thanks.

I've been looking for a while for info about Jack and Irving, but can't seem to get much. They are included in the Howard family tree on Shemp's granddaughters' site, but that's all.

The scene with Curly dropping all of the golf balls was omitted from the release on the "Three Smart Saps" DVD a few years ago. It wasn't intentional, just a sloppy mastering job on Sony's end.
Thank God it's fixed in the new release.

Man, I could have sworn Jack was a dentist. I don't know where the heck I got that from then.

I'm just wondering when the other two Howard brothers (Irving and Jack) passed away and if there is any biographical information available on them. I know there is a picture of one of them in Moe Howard and the Three Stooges.
Both Jack and Irving were in the insurance business. Irving died from a ruptured appendix in 1939; Jack passed away circa 1976/1977 (can't remember exact date).
The only picture I've seen of Irving is a family member's portrait shot. Irving very closely resembled Jerome.
-
I have Jack's date of death as 6/11/76 but am not sure where I got that from. Per the "Curly" biography, Irving supposedly died 3 weeks before his mother Jennie Horwitz (she passed away 9/6/39) but I don't think the book gives a specific date

So Jack was the longest-surviving Howard brother? Did he die of natural causes?

what is the name of the tune the boys play in "Disorder in the Court." The song is one of my favorite little "jingles" and gets stuck in my head for days after I watch that particular short.

THanks for all the info on the Howorwitz Bros. and "Push Em Up.

This has probably been asked before, but I tried to search in the "Search" box for Hokus Pokus but nothing came up.
Plus I didn't want to read 43 pages...
In "Hokus Pokus", we see the hypnotist make Larry into a cat, and Shemp into a monkey...but when he walks over to Moe it doesn't show what he makes him do. I have this on tape from AMC, so is the scene cut? Or did they decide not to make Moe do anything and just move along in the story?

This scene is uncut. It is the same way on both of the Columbia releases. For some reason, Moe is not hypnotized. They just left that for Shemp and Larry.

I was watching Flagpole Jitters the other day which reuses the same scenes and I always figure'd since we saw Shemp "hypnotize" Moe into thinking he was in New York and Sing Sing, there was no need to see what Svengarlic could do to him. At that point it was Shemp and Larry's time to shine.
-
True.
But since we see Svengarlic move to Moe and he says something (forget what), it feels like a scene was cut.
I guess not though. Thanks for the info (Loco and Curley).
-
Okay, new question.
It's more of a "Did they really do that" type of question.
In "Flying Saucer Daffy", Joe buys the family TV dinners, and the woman says "We don't even have a TV yet!" and Joe says "but once we save up (forgot number) coupons we'll have a set". Did the company that made TV dinners back then really have a coupon program where if you had enough coupons you could redeem them for a real television? Or is this just a joke?
-
The company's name is Swanson. You may try searching their website or calling their 800 number.
Now I'm having "Salsbury Steak" nightmares. Thanks. Have an apple cobbler under tin foil that you remove with 5 minutes left. [pie]

I would like to say that I am new and would like to be able to do right. I do have one little questions I would like to ask please. Can anyone tell me where I can get the entire collection of Shemp when he was going solo from 1930 through 1947 Hope I have the years right.
Thank you
Moron4392
-
Again guide me. Am I at the right location? I would like to ask someone if Shemp had any kids and what are they doing this day (if around). Plus does anyone know where I can obtain all of Shemp's solo works?
Plus I would like to make a reply to "Moe Hailstone" if he did not already get his replies. I will be dating myself about your television coupon questionin "Flying Saucer Daffys," yes there was a food company back then and it was "Swanson Foods." Plus in "Hokus Pokus" Svengarlic made Moe into nothing he just got genrally hypnotized.
Hope I am not be too pushy for a new comer.
Thanks:

Shemp and his wife Babe had one son, Mort. I don't know if he's still living. If he is he's pretty old by now. If you check out my You Tube post, it shows Shemp's son and Moe's daughter Joan tormenting their poor dads.
I can help you with Shemp's solo work. Send me your Email address.
As far as your posting goes, your doing just fine.

Mort died a number of years back. If living he'd be around 80 as he was close in age to Joan Howard Maurer. His (Mort's) daughters run a Shemp website, I'm sure someone has more details.
I think those clips and a few similar ones were in Three Stooges Family Album, weren't they?
-
Hello I hope I have reached benjibum? If so thank you for the information regarding Shemp and his wife about having a child. If you would like to give me some personal information on Shemp I would really appreciate it. You can E-mail me at Moron4392@sbcglobal.net. Thank you for helping me out truely appreciate it.

Ok... hopefully this hasn't been asked before. I have searched around the site this morning and can't find it. I remember, hopefully correctly, Moe, Larry, Curly were in some sort of medical situation. Moe was giving orders like a surgeon and one of the things he asked for was annacannapanna... maybe the spelling is wrong and that's why I can't find it. If someone could point me to the film, I'd appreciate it. I'd love to have that clip.

That was either from Men in Black, A Gem of a Jam, or Monkey Businessmen.

Hi, guys -- longtime Stooges fan here, hoping I'll soon be able to post and be active.
My question is one that has bugged me for a long time, and it involves a piece of music. This music was used in at least 4-6 Stooge shorts -- one example is in "Dutiful But Dumb," where it's the music Curly "plays" on the tubes and wires when he's hiding in the radio. ("Be on the lookout for three photographers.....they ain't in here!!") I've heard this same music in several movies of the era, usually in a circus or carnival themed scene. (I happened to think of it the other day when I heard it in an old "Boston Blackie" flick in a carnival scene.)
WHAT IS THIS MUSIC? I must know before I die!
Thanks!

I understand from what I have read that the Stooges shorts were pretty much filmed as scripted, with little in the way of verbal ad-libs. One line that I have often thought was an ad-lib comes in "Tassels in the Air" after Vernon Dent has fallen down the elevator shaft. Moe's line, "Must be a short-cut!" almost sounds like an ad-lib/afterthought, the way it comes sort of "off-timing" just as the scene is fading out. Anyone seen the script that can confirm/deny? And are there any confirmed ad-libs in the shorts?
-

I'm not sure about "Tassels In The Air," but I know that the Stooges were very good at ad-libbing, and would do it a lot (especially Shemp.)
After the scripted scene would end, the director would just let them keep going until they finally ran out of 'schtick.'
One ad-lib that I can think of off the top of my head is at the end of "Hot Ice." Moe and Larry just keep right on going until they can't seem to think of any more. Another one is Shemp's shaving during "Brideless Groom."

Or, how about at the end of one Curly short (I think it may be "The Sitter-Downers?") where the Boys are singing that wedding song ("Oh, the wedding bells will start to ring....ding, dong, ding...") and as they exit towards the camera, Curly seemingly on impulse sticks his face right in the camera lens and growls/barks?
-
Hmmmmmmmm. I've never really thought about that before. It could very well be!
-
You guys might know the answer for this:
Does any Three Stooges site on the Internet have all 190 title cards for the shorts? I know that Wikipedia has many of them, but so far I've missed two (and if I don't have all of them, my Wallpaper won't be complete).
Eventually, once all of the DVD Volumes are released my Wallpaper will be done, but I was hoping that I could make it now and just update it with better images.
-
Re-ad libbing
I seem to remember Moe saying that there was a good deal of ad-lib going on. I think he said in an interview that anytime they thought of anything funny to say they would cue each other by saying "Wait a minute!" I've heard this in a lot of shorts. Not sure if he was just referring to live shows or not.

Not sure if you're still looking for this or not, but the name "Annacannapooner" is used in "Men In Black" at least (maybe in others). I made a Wallpaper for this scene and needed to see how to spell that word. Luckily the new DVD's have closed caption to them. According to my TV, my spelling is the correct way to spell it.
If you want a sound clip for the scene where Moe's calling out the instruments, I can upload it here.

Hi Folks;
I was wondering for a while, after reading books about the Three Stooges, and how sad it was for Curley's health to deteriorate
the way it did, and the fact that he died so young.
My question is, how much does anyone think that the actual physical comedy caused his strokes?
I know I read that lots of times, there were really physical things that they did, and sometimes they hurt.
But, set against Curley's apparent bad health maintenance, I wonder how the two problems actually figured into his demise.
Just wondering if anyone had any insight into this, or it had been researched that much.
Thanks.

Curly had some major health problems beginning in 1945 such as extreme hypertension, a retinal hemorrhage, high blood pressure, and obesity. I'd say that these are most likely related to his life-style, not the physical comedy. The only real hit that the Stooges ever took was a slap. Boxers and pro-wrestlers suffer much more than that and most of them turn out fine. I think that any theory that says Curly's health deteriorated because of the hits and slaps was created merely to sell books.
-
From what I can remember reading in Moe's biography, although Curly and Larry took most of the hits, he was the one who got seriously hurt most often.
The most notable incident is in "Pardon My Scotch," when Curly saws the table he was standing on in half. Moe takes a very painful spill, and actually broke his ribs.
Another one was in "Beer And Pretzels," when he gets hit by the salt shaker, and falls backwards into the table. I think he was pretty injured from that one too.

I always wondered if Moe was hurt from that fall off the table, since you can tell that no stunt double was used. I guess he was. :(
Since Moe and Larry lived to be somewhat old, I think that the "Died from being slapped and punched" idea is ridiculous.

A lifetime of smoking is what did Moe in and Larry's alcoholism took it's toll over time resulting in his numerous strokes.
Larry even talks about Moe being injured in his 1973 interviews.. interesting stuff. The only occasions I knew the Boys to get hurt was Moe in Pardon My Scotch and Shemp in Brideless Groom, when Christine McIntyre slaps the shit out of him.
The stunt doubles in Three Little Pigskins were all injured during the scene when they get tackled.

Ah, I see. Old age (they were both in their 70's when they died) didn't have anything to do with it.
(Sorry to be critical, loco, but I don't buy into that brain-washing propaganda.)

Yeah, he must be loco! lol, only kidding.
Anyway, Moe died from lung cancer, so it was pretty obvious that his smoking was the cause of his death. Larry died from a massive stroke. While Moe and Larry were old, that really wasn't the main cause of their death. One thing I know for sure is that old age certainly wasn't the cause of Curly's death.

There are a lot of injuries that the Stooges indured too, Curly split his head open when he fell down the elevator shaft in 3 Dumb Clucks, Larry had a fountain pen stick in his head in Heavenly Daze, Moe severely injured his ankle while in high heels in Self-Made Maids, Larry had one of his teeth punched out in Three Little Pigskins, Joe Besser splintered his hand (of course he gets the whimpiest injury) in Horsing Around, and Curly-Joe and landed on top of Larry when they fell off the back of a chariot in The Three Stooges Meet Hercules.

I apologize for coming across as so sarcastic, Loco. I guess I need this holiday vacation even more than I thought. I haven't taken one since last Christmas (other than a handful of three-day weekends), and I'm burnt out. That's still not really a good excuse for being rude, though, and I am sorry for that.
I should explain that I don't buy into the theory that smoking causes lung cancer. I'm not saying that smoking tobacco is necessarily the best thing you can choose to do in life, but most of the claims you hear regularly spewed through the media are horse shit. There is a puritanical mindset that has taken over this country in the past fifty years, and those who embrace it are not above lies and gross exaggerations to achieve their goals.
I don't really have time to go into the subject more right now, but if you or anyone else is interested in discussing that further, I'd be happy to start a new thread on it in a few days, after I've had a chance to rest up. By then I should be better mannered. :angel:

Well, I guess it can lead to lung cancer, but I'm not 100% sure about it. However, most people that have lung cancer were heavy smokers. So, there seems to be some connection. But you can be a smoker all your life and never get cancer. It's not like, you smoke, it's a sure thing that you'll get cancer. Like my uncle, for example. He's been smoking since he was a teenager. He's now in his late 50s and he has never been diagnosed with lung cancer. And he is one heavy smoker too. He can't live 1 minute without a cigarette. So, I guess it all depends on the individual.
And one thing I find sooo weird is that, according to the news, everything today causes cancer. They say that things such as teflon and charcoal barbecuing all cause cancer. Well, I cook almost everyday with a teflon pan and I barbecue every summer. Does that mean I have cancer?! It's rediculous!

I would like to throw my two cents in on this cancer topic. It all has to do with your own body chemistry. I am 50 years old and have been a smoker since I was the age of eleven. I am now up to two packs a day and have been that way for the past 8-9 years went in for the smokers test and aced it not a sign of cancer. So I agree with XRaffle and others that TV information is a buch of Horse muffins they just want to sell you a bunch of drugs for no reason.
Now that I have stated my opinion could it be possible that I ask a question please also? Thank you.
I have read contridicting writings on this, was there at one time in Shemp's solo career that he was permanently booted out of a night club?, and if so could someone please tell me the name of it? Just the other day at work a guy friend that I work with brought up the topic and I said no and he said yes but did not know the name of the club. I would really appreciate a response to my question.
Thanks everyone and have a Blessed Christmas and the Best Of 2008.

Hi guys-
Right now, I'm logged in with my account. I'm a little bit upset, because I post something, the email
in my account says it's there, and the thing is no where to be found.
Do they automatically get cut, and moved to the appropriate thread section?
Can someone notify people thru email when they do??? Otherwise, if it gets moved, how am I supposed to find it?
Ok, I'll ask again, if no one minds.
Can someone comment on the relationship between Joe Besser, and Joe DeRita, towards the end of their
lives? Did they make any appearances? Did they even have a friendly relationship?
More to the point, why was Besser at the Hollywood Walk of Fame / Star ceremony, and not DeRita?
No one that reported the event seemed to make mention of DeRita. I know he was alive then.
Thanks.

Hi Augie -
I'll leave your question for some of the other members, since I don't really know the answer myself, but I would like to see if I can help with this part. I need some more info, though, so I can try to find out what happened.
Was your post asking the same questions as this one? Where did you post it? Was it on this thread?
If you can fill me in with a little more detail, I'd like to track it down. Nothing is supposed to be cut automatically, so it that's what happened there's a glitch that I need to fix. But I need to know where to look first. ;D

In fact Besser and DeRita never met in person. They both worked at the same studio for years and lived only a few blocks from each other in retirement, but never met. There were fans that offered to introduce them, but neither was interested. Curly-Joe was invited to the Stooges star unveiling, and wanted to attend, but was unable to because of ill health. Due to obesity and near-blindness it was hard for him to even leave his home. However, his devoted wife Jean did attend for him.
-
Sorry, your facts are incorrect. Larry was not an alcoholic. In fact a friend of his said of him "he will hardly take a sip of champagne on New Years". His wife Mabel was a lifelong and serious alcohol abuser, and was abusive toward him when drunk, which he tolerated. Probably because he was too nice of a guy. Perhaps her drinking was part of the reason he never imbibed. Larry said he did drink during prohibition when he was young, but quit for good [3stooges] when it ended.

The key issue is causality. It has not been proven that smoking causes cancer, and examples such as those you and Moron4392 offer help to demonstrate that. I imagine a lot of people could offer similar examples. My great-uncle was a chain smoker all of his life (I like to joke that he only needed one match a day), but he died of old age at 83, with no sign of cancer. My mother on the other hand, never smoked a day in her life, and didn't allow smoking around her, but she died of lung cancer at 72.
In considering what I refer to as the propaganda in the media, you have to pay attention to what they are actually claiming and whether it actually makes sense. Even when they may be stating a "truth", they often exaggerate it or give it an unwarranted emphasis to heighten a sense of alarm in their audience.
For example -- and I want to emphasize that I any just pulling numbers out of thin air right now to make a point -- they may claim that smokers are 100 times more likely to develop cancer than non-smokers, but they never tell you want the chances actually are of non-smokers getting cancer. But if the chance of the ordinary non-smoker is only .1% (one in 1000), then an "average" smoker's chance would be 10% (one in 10). That's significantly higher, obviously, but notice that also means that 90% of the time the smoker does not develop cancer. Hardly a proof of causality, yet the claims of the prohibitions imply that if you smoke you are almost certainly going to get cancer.
Prohibitionists spout statistics all the time, because that is all they've got and statistics can be easily manipulated. You also have to consider the source of the alleged data, and what motivations they may have. A traditional question to always keep in mind is Quo bono? Who benefits? The government bureaucracies benefit from gaining additional control over people's lives. Agencies whose only purpose is to promote the prohibitionists' agenda benefit from government "grants" -- money stolen from the "taxpayers", thus forcing us to pay for the propaganda they spew over us.
Again, my point isn't that smoking is healthy, but rather that the risks have been grossly overstated and in the choice of a lot of people, the perceived benefits outweigh the risks. I am 52 and have been smoking since I was 17; I average a pack a day, and maybe even a little less at times. So far I show no signs of developing cancer, but that doesn't mean that I won't eventually, especially considering that my mother developed it without smoking. It is a risk that I choose to take, however (something is going to get me eventually.)
My original point, which I expressed so badly, was that Moe died of lung cancer at 78, a perfectly respectable age. That doesn't sound as though smoking all of his life necessarily shortened it, and if he enjoyed smoking what was the real harm?
-
I would like to throw my two cents in on this cancer topic. It all has to do with your own body chemistry. I am 50 years old and have been a smoker since I was the age of eleven. I am now up to two packs a day and have been that way for the past 8-9 years went in for the smokers test and aced it not a sign of cancer. So I agree with XRaffle and others that TV information is a buch of Horse muffins they just want to sell you a bunch of drugs for no reason.
I think that some weaker bodies are subject to getting cancer, that's all.
Another case in point:
My Grandmother died when she was 97 years old...and smoked about 80 of those years. She didn't have any type of cancer in her body. I think her heart just gave out since she was old.
-
My mother died of emphysema at the young age of 57, which was caused by smoking. My grandmother ( on my dads side ) died at the age of 94, a smoker all her life, smoking had nothing to do with her death. Like Moe Hailstone, I believe it all has to do with your genetic make up. After smoking for over 40 years, and not knowing which side of the family I would take after, I was finally able to quit about 5 years ago.
-

Yeah, 78 is an old age. However, cancer does shorten someone's life. I know someone from my building who died at age 60 because she had cancer. Not sure what cancer it was. I didn't get all the details, but it wasn't lung cancer. So, Moe would've probably lived longer if he didn't have lung cancer. What caused the lung cancer, I don't know as you bring up a very good point how smoking doesn't necessarily cause it.
The key issue is causality. It has not been proven that smoking causes cancer, and examples such as those you and Moron4392 offer help to demonstrate that. I imagine a lot of people could offer similar examples. My great-uncle was a chain smoker all of his life (I like to joke that he only needed one match a day), but he died of old age at 83, with no sign of cancer. My mother on the other hand, never smoked a day in her life, and didn't allow smoking around her, but she died of lung cancer at 72.
I take back what I said on my earlier post about smoking being the cause of Moe's death. That example you gave about your great-uncle and mother is very interesting one. That crazy media does indeed "brain wash" us because it's very rare that they mention non-smokers being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Thanks for your reply.
That helps clear up for me, what happened at the star ceremony, and who was there.
Was Joe DeRita's wife ever put in the spotlight, or did she ever get to speak for her husband at the ceremony?
It gets confusing, because it took me a while to sort when the last 2 passed, and
when the ceremony took place.
I vaguely remember when Joe DeRita passed.
So, DeRita and Besser never met or worked together? It would seem that they would've,
in their past careers at some time.
Thanks.
-
Happy Holidays All: Jean DeRita did say a few words in her husbands behave at the star ceremony. It was in 1983. I have some brief footage of the entire affair and will soon post it on You Tube. I have put some other rare Stooge stuff there under the moniker "benjilbum". Besser passed away in 1988 and Curly-Joe in 1994. The former of a heart attack in his home, the later at the same hospital where Larry died in 1975. Curly-Joe died of multiple health concerns. At least they had happy retirements and lived to advanced ages. Moe never really retired. He lived to the advanced age of 78, and was thankfully in good health until just before he passed.

Welcome to the Forum.
No Stooges shorts/movies have ever been officially released for use on iPods. If you legally own the various DVDs that have been released throughout the years or have the ability to rip VHS to your computer, there's plenty of programs that does it with ease. I use Xilisoft DVD Ripper Platinum. Only costs about $20 and it does the whole conversion process for you, which takes less than a quarter of the time of other programs where various steps are involved (such has TMPGEnc and such).
Here's a link to Xilisoft's website for their DVD Ripper Platinum (http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-ripper-platinum.html).
It has about 50 or more codecs built in and and can output to a variety of file types. Highly recommended.

Thanks!
I Also needed somethin to rip my DVD's too, ;D

I wouldn't pay money for that since there are many free ones out there, such as Videora (http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/). I've converted a few stooge shorts with that software and it works really well.

DVD Shrink (http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html) is a very good decrypter. One thing good about it is that it will add more compression to the video if it exceeds 4.7 GB, which is the maximum amount of data that you can burn on a single layer DVD.

Help! I got my daughter ROFL with a Stooges line and now she is dying to see the short. The problem is I can't figure out which one it is. The line is from Curly, obviously doing a southern drawl. I looked in Uncivil Warriors and Uncivil Warbirds and it is neither of those Can you help? The line is

There is a Filmography on this site, which you can click on at the top left of your page. Could this be what you are talking about? Strange to have a 16mm of this...This is what it says about Plane Nuts:
=========================================================================================
PLANE NUTS - [Edit] [Upload Photos]
Released: October 14, 1933 Ted Healy and His Stooges MGM Short Subject
Length: 20 min.
Average Rating:
My Rating:
Complemented with musical numbers taken from a prior MGM feature, Healy and His Stooges rehash their vaudeville act in this short, with the Stooges and Bonnie coming onto the stage to interrupt Healy while he is singing.
The Stooges were to appear in a segment where they fly around the world backwards, but it was cut from the final version. See Moe Howard & the 3 Stooges, pp. 57 & 58, for photos from this segment. This footage is also discussed, with additional production photos, in Leonard Maltin's television documentary THE LOST STOOGES (1990).
The musical numbers Happy Landing and Dance Until Dawn were taken from the MGM feature film FLYING HIGH (1931). See Richard Finegan's article in The Three Stooges Journal # 52 (Winter 1989).

It's not a lost episode...
Silent, 5-minute, retitled abridgements from a handful of the Columbia shorts, marketed for home viewing with a toy 16mm projector in the late 1940s, by a company named Excel.
Back in 1988, The Three Stooges Journal published a detailed 2-part article about the projector, and a list of the Stooge titles sold with it...

I remember when I started my first job, in the local public library, that we had shelves of Super-8 films of the Stooges, L & H, even old Hal Roach stuff. I could never watch them at home because we just had a standard 8 projector.
I think they wound up selling the stuff along with their old vinyl at a book sale for next to nothing.

Well, I've used the search engine & looked manually to no avail. So, does anyone know which episode this was? Moe is on a creeper underneath the rear tire of a car they're trying to fix when I believe Larry starts the engine in gear sending Moe headlong into a pipe. The other Stooges use various tools to remove the pipe {i.e. crow-bar, blow torch, etc.} [rotflmao]

Hey if this has been asked or talked about I would like to say whoops ahead of time. I did a search but nothing came up.
With the “new” The Three Stooges Collection Vol. 2 1937-1939 coming out on dvd and the first volume too, the question is it worth picking up? I guess I was wondering if the quality is much better then the other dvd that have been put out in the past? And yes I know it is in order of release, a plus.
Thank you for all the input, or links to discussion about this on this board.

Ok I did some more looking around and did fine the reviews I was looking for. DOH! Now time to order and pre-order vol. 1 & 2.

Since some people found that helpful, I will do the same with Volume 2 when I get it. If I find a copy in the store, my review should be posted by next week. But I agree with Rob. Yes, it is worth it. 19-24 shorts for only $20 or less, you can't go wrong.

I've always wondered just how much was deleted from Stooges shorts, how many classic moments are now lost and gone forever due to editing room decisions? I was wondering if anyone out there has some idea of what might have been deleted from any particular short. I'll make a list of the ones I can think of:
1. Malice in the Palace---Curly's cameo deleted
2. So Long, Mr. Chumps---Crying scene with Bud Jamison and scene with carpenter's clamp deleted
3. How High Is Up?---kitchen scene with Lucille Lund deleted
4. Matri-Phony---scene with beauty contest winners deleted (according to The Three Stooges Scrapbook)
5. Three Loan Wolves---scene with policemen deleted (though any mention of this scene is strangely missing from the transcription in The Three Stooges Journal--anyone know why this might be?)
6. G.I. Wanna Home---still photo suggests that a scene was deleted---it would've taken place in the beginning right after the boys meet their wives, note the quick fade-out
7. Cookoo Cavaliers---scene showing the result of the hair removal tonic on the dog deleted
8. Heavenly Daze---musical Ten Commandments scene deleted (according to The Three Stooges Scrapbook); scene with switchboard operator in Heaven deleted (a still photo exists of this scene)

Does anyone remember the episode where the stooges were teachers. They sang a song that went something like this: b-a-bay;b-e bye;b-i-bickybo, etc... Sorry that's not much to go on.

What was the name of the episode with Curley in it where they accidentally infiltrate a Nazi headquarters
and they try and fix the wiring or the phone, and people are trying to call and get through? And did I see a young
Mr. Bridges (what's his first name) that was on "Seahunt" trying to get a call through the operators and were there
any other young future famous actors in that little segment?That was a riot!

Newbie here. Actually my second post. I was wondering if anyone had seen the story about the guy who went with a buddy to see Moe in his later years(around '73, I believe). They were interested in seeing Moe while they still could. He had written Moe many times and they got to be pen pals. Well, I guess Moe invited him to his home. He and a buddy went to see Moe. Moe was very approachable I understand and was flattered that anyone thought it was worth their time to come see him and his wife. When they got there Moe showed them all kinds of stooge paraphernalia, scrapbooks and other things. They filmed Moe hamming it up with both of them and generally had a great time for a few hours. As a stooge fan I have to think that was as close to the stooge Holy Grail as one could get! I will look for the story and post the link if I can find it.

Does anyone out there know anything about the two-story house shown over and overin Stooges shorts? It is a two story with a front yard porch, white columns and white shutters. It is shown specifically in Pardon My Clutch and the Sitter-Downers. We've always thought it probably belonged to one of the Stooges, but are not sure. Any help is appreciated.

On the old Columbia Ranch backlot... now the Warner Bros. Ranch backlot... in Burbank CA.
The CLUTCH house is to the right of the "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" house, and can be seen in many episodes of that series... used extensively in many Screen Gems / Columbia TV series over the years like DENNIS THE MENACE, THE DONNA REED SHOW, and still can be seen today in Warner TV productions.

Dear Sir: (Xraffle):
I just quickly viewed both "Dizzy Dectectives" and "Crime On Their Hands," and just would like to say thank you for clearing that up for me. I always mixed the two up. Guess I better watch my postings from now on.

I am trying to find the Stooges episode where More asks "Ma-ha?" followed by Larry saying "Ah-hah?" and Curly replying with some foreign gibberish. Can anyone identify this episode? If so please email me at sgatesam@yahoo.com with the answer. Yuk, Yuk!

In reviewing the information given on Amazon regarding the book "Mantan the Funnyman: The Life and Times of Mantan Moreland," I saw the statement that an interview with Moe Howard indicated "Mantan was almost the third stooge after Curly's death." Does anyone out there know if this claim is valid and if so, how close Mantan came to being one of the stooges? Second, if Mantan was seriously considered, was he truly considered after Curly's death (to replace Shemp or in lieu of Besser or DeRita) or was he actually considered as a possible Curly replacement (after Curly's debilitating stroke)? I'm kind of tempted to buy the book just to see what other information about this topic is presented. Can any of you comment on the content of this book (specifically with respect to the third stooge discussion)? Thanks in advance!

Google now has scads of pictures from the archives of Life magazine to scan through. The following is the only one that wasn't from a series with Curly-Joe, accompanied by a description:
The Three Stooges doing a skit with pickles for National Pickle Week.
Date taken: May 1949
Photographer: Francis Miller
Is this on film available to the general public? Is it on DVD?(https://threestooges.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftbn0.google.com%2Fhosted%2Fimages%2Fc%3Fq%3Dba3fef5be0be7a2e_large&hash=efc476f9091143d0c0969590c323cde5f8864bd5)

Interesting picture. I haven't seen that before and I have no clue what film that was taken from. That picture is not from their shorts nor from "Gold Raiders." So, I don't think that picture is taken from any film. Maybe it's a picture taken specially for Life magazine.
-
Look at Larry! He's 'drinking' his pickle!
Chalk up another strange thing Larry does with food.
-
I'm going to guess it was just a gag shot exclusive to Life Magazine. Did the boys have an article written about them in Life? That magazine had an important article or two about the history of comedy, one I'm thinking of from 1949, the same year the picture was taken. Perhaps the picture was taken as an example of "modern" comedy as opposed to the "golden age" of comedy. Just a wild guess, I'm probably wrong.
Anyway, cool picture.

Anyway, cool picture.
I think it's funny how Moe and Shemp have the exact same looks on their faces: the 'pop' eyes and scrunched up mouths. :laugh:
-
This is my first post and hopefully I am doing this correctly.
I'm looking for the short where Curly (I think) piles his plate with food, only to find that his shirt was sitting on his plate. In discust, he violently slaps the food everywhere including Moe's face which of course starts a huge food fight.
I'm also looking for the one where Moe calls one of the other a titmouse.
Thanks

I believe it's Income Tax Sappy, but it was Shemp putting mash potatoes and gravy in his shirt.

Hi everyone!
I'd appreciate any help that can be given. I am looking for all of the titles of albums/CD's made by The Three Stooges. I have some after searching online, but I am told The Three Stooges produced five albums.
I am looking for these for my blind, mentally handicapped brother. He is the biggest fan of all!!! I guess he has three cd's...so I am looking for the other two. What do you get a guy that has EVERYTHING for Christmas???
Thanks so much.

Hi RaggedyAndie! You can find that information on the Discography (http://threestooges.net/discography.php) page. I hope it will help you find the records that you need.

The rare 1945 Stooge feature with Curly, 'Rockin' In The Rockies', was on TCM early Thursday morning. I just caught a little of it and was kicking myself that I woke up too late to record it. The film obviously was made around the time that Curly's health was deteriorating as his energy level was low and Larry was carrying most of the comedy when they were together. Still, I'd like to get a copy of it if possible.
-
You should pick up the New Three Stooges DVD Collections. They run around $19.99 New. And you can not beat that deal with a stick!
-
This is just a thought on my part, but do you think the 5th volume of the Three Stooges might include the Stooge feature 'Rockin' In The Rockies' to help round out the Curly's? It also makes sense for the Shemp's to be added in volume 5 so that 'Hold That Lion', Curly's last film appearance and the only time the 'four' Stooges appeared in a Columbia short together, can be included.
-
I cant remember the name of the short, but they are playing carpenters, and Moe is atop a table that collapses (someone is sawing it). You can see his side land on the one edge of the table. I guess he got up, did a double slap, and passed out. I think he had several broken ribs.
That would be the beginning of "Pardon My Scotch" when they go from carpenters to scotch makers to Scotsmen.

You mention Rockin' in the Rockies but I'm familiar with Rockin' Through the Rockies 1940 when they are escorting Nelle's Belles to California from Kansas, a great short with Indians sporting New York accents. I have seen all the best of the shorts so can you tell me what Rockin' in the Rockies is about?
-
I haven't been back here in a while but have loved the Stooges since I watched them on TV in 1960. Anyway I must have seen my favorite Curleys hundreds of times over the years and was very surprised a while back when shorts I was very familiar with Movie Maniacs and Three Sappy People each had a new scene added that had been deleted back in the old daze. In Movie Maniacs the kissing scene was always deleted "Tell 'em what we know about kissing." and in Sappy People the one when the boys are spiking the punch and using a stethoscope to drink. Also the guy with the wooden leg (post no bills.) I wonder why they were deleted back in the early 60's. I know why the scene with the African American baby was deleted in Uncivil Warriors by why the ones in the shorts I mentioned. Thanks.

I was looking at the "goofs" for Horses' Collars, and there are one or two goofs that weren't picked up...
1) The scene where the Stooges walk in to the dancehall where Nell is sitting. The Stooges bow down to Nell, Moe bops Curly on the head...when they recover, Nell says, "Oh gentlemen..." Moe is looking at Larry, then all of a sudden, all 3 look at the camera as if something went wrong...then Moe motions to Curly...then the scene cuts to them turning around to see who came in.
2) When Curly beats up the 2 thugs at the end...Moe and Larry come in tied up...Curly punches them both while yelling, "Moe Larry, the cheese." Moe gets untied, and slaps Curly on the head...when Curly falls backwards and roles over on his head, sand comes trickling out of Curly's belt or holster.
-
I think there was a goof not picked up in GRIPS, GRUNTS, AND GROANS. When
Bustoff is knock out in the locker room and is laying on the floor, at first he as no shirt on, then when the shot pulls back and the Stooges start running around the locker trying to get away, he has a shirt on. (Also looks like a different, much thinner person laying on the floor.) Then when the shot goes back in after the stooges stop running Bustoff has no shirt again.
Also look close at the Bustoff with the shirt on. His head, looks like he has a hat on as well. I guess they where trying to make the “fake” Bustoff look like he had no hair?
-
What I would like to know is what was the average price to make the shorts? At the site http://www.altfg.com/blog/actors/the-three-stooges-hitler-lampoon/ they say "You Nazty Spy" cost $18,500 which seems reasonable for that time. It also states that Mo was the first american to play Hitler, which is unnerving but interesting.

I can't help you with a figure for making a short, but I would like to comment on "You Natzy Spy". Not only was Moe the first American to play Hitler, but Moe was also the first to parody him as well. Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" was in production for a long time, and many knew about Chaplin playing Hitler. The Stooges simply beat Chaplin out by releasing their short before his feature.
I am not quite sure of the production dates, and I don't feel like looking them up now. I'm sure one could find that information on IMDB and here on the filmography.
Even more unnerving....seeing the Reverend Kenny play Moe dressed as Hitler at the Fan Club Meeting!
-
Well I missed the Reverend Kenny, but maybe next year, sounds like a blast!!!

Hi everyone! I was perusing the quotes and transcripts on this site and I'm stumped, joined here hoping someone can help me.
There is a quote (that I hope I'm not hallucinating at this point) where either Moe or Shemp says "Now we'll have action!"
And for the life of me I can't find it or remember which episode in which it was said. I've been a Stooges fan since I was little, watching them with my dad and little brother has been a long standing family tradition. I asked my dad and he's not sure about this one either!
Thanks for your help!

I'm thinking either GENTS IN A JAM, A STITCH IN TIME or GOOF ON THE ROOF. One of those classic early 50's Shemp shorts. I'm sure somebody has the answer, I vaguely remember the gag you're speaking of. Am I on the right track, guys?

Thanks for your response, it certainly was Gents in a Jam. I had just watched it on you tube and everytime I switch on my 55 year old radio which belonged to my late father, I start laughing. I have to admit that it cures my stress... :laugh: I will certainly look for that DVD when I go to town soon. I have another query, would anyone know an eposide where a cousin Basil is involved in. It seems that her slaps are a lot more powerful than Moe's! I have a 3 stooges pinball game and the audio of cousin Basil is on the game. I would love to see this one. Once again, many thanks

That would be Brideless Groom (http://threestooges.net/episode.php?id=101), with Shemp. It is one of the four public domain episodes, and it will be on the new Vol. 5 of the Three Stooges Collection coming out March 17th.

Does anyone know the artist whose version was used in 'Punch Drunks' that was played on the radio and the audio truck?
The same version was used as the opening theme in 'Pop Goes The Easel'.
Thanks in advance.

You reminded me of something I read about that scene in The Three Stooges Scrapbook. When they were first doing the scene, Christine McIntyre was holding back, not wanting to hurt Shemp. Apparently, it wasn't realistic enough, so they told her to really let him have it. And she sure did! That scene is hilarious and one of my all time favorites.

Where the hell did you get a Three Stooges pinball game? Don't tell me they actually decided to make one?
You must have made it yourself!

I thought Gary had one at the Stoogeum. I could be wrong though, it might have been a arcade video game.

Yes, that is a video arcade game from the early 1980's.
-
Actually, the slot machine that you see in the "Stoogeum" video is what's called a "skill-stop" slot machine. They're mostly seen in Japanese arcades, and most times, they take token, and not coins (although the machines are easily converted to take coins). Watch in the vid, that the demonstrator stops each reel with the push of a button located under each reel on the console. (Gaming is my area of expretise, next to the Stooges....LOL)

Hi!
I just signed up for this site, and look forward to being a productive member on the site who will be respectful to all posters.
First of all I want to compliment the guys who run the site. It's very well laid out and easy to read. I commend you greatly on having such a high set of standards here. I sincerely mean that. It's great to see a place where good grammar and writing are still appreciated. I also appreciate that it is a safe site that shouldn't give my computer problems.
I have been a Stooge fan for quite a while now. While I don't have a specific question, I wanted to post my thoughts on some of the Stooge stuff I have seen lately.
First I want to talk a little about the most recent Stooge item I bought last week ;D Last week I bought the Stooges 75th Anniversary Tin set, the one with 3 DVDs. I got it for just 15 bucks and couldn't have asked for a better deal! While it only contains 4 shorts the real heart of the set is in it's extras that's for sure. The interviews are pretty good and it's great to see there are Stooge fans from all walks of life, from all over the world. I know the boys have got to be thrilled that their work is loved so much. The 3 Stooges Cartoons were great to see. I've only seen a handful of them but I think it's a pretty good cartoon ;D I hope eventually I can say I've seen all of the cartoons. The biggest reason I bought it though was for "Kooks Tour". Up until that set, that movie was VERY rare and hard to get a hold of. Hats off to the people who restored it as best as they could for this special set. I really enjoyed that movie and I'm glad I finally got to see it. I especially like how it was supposed to be about the things they did after retirement. It looked like they had a fun time making it.
Just a few days ago, I finally got to see Larry's 1973 interview, after the stroke he had. All I can say is God bless that man! Even in that condition he did that interview and he especially lit up when he was reminiscing. There was a lot of very interesting stuff in that interview I didn't know. He looked a bit irritated when he was asked to repeat a few things and I can't blame him. Everyone should be very thankful to Larry for doing that interview, I certainly am!
I also saw Moe's appearances on the Mike Douglas show. Even with as old as he looked, and as tired as I'm sure he was at that point he never missed a beat. He was indeed a very very gracious man who again everyone should give thanks to him for those appearances. He truly didn't retire and more or less kept going right till the end. Moe was always my favorite. He was a class act.
The last thing I wanted to touch on was having seen the footage of their grave sites. It was interesting and sad at the same time to see those. It reminds you how short life really is. Over the course of their lifetime, the boys had a remarkable career we will never see the likes of again. I forever thank them for all the entertainment they have given myself and millions of others over the years. I had no problem with the footage of Moe's and Shemp's graves. Curly's however upset me and I will just leave it at some people are truly low and inconsiderate.
Anyway, I am looking forward to being a good part of the community here ;D

Are you talking about the video clip on youtube where the guy filming it leaves the business card for his website on Curly's headstone? I'm not sure if we saw the same clip, but I found that one a bit disturbing. Extremely bad taste, I thought.

Thank you for all of the nice things you said about Rob's site and of course, the Three Stooges!
I don't know if you are already subscribe to the Three Stooges Journal and in the fan club, but if you are not, take a look at the 'Stooge Info' menu above, and at the bottom is the information on the Journal and the fan club. Best $9.00 you'll ever spend!
I do not know if you are close to Philadelphia, but the annual fan club meeting will be taking place in EXACTLY two months! (Well, it really doesn't start officially until the 25th, but many of us will be there on Friday!

Yup that's the exact footage I was referring to, the youtube clip where that guy left his business card on curly's grave. That was really distasteful. The man had an enormously difficult last several years of life and earned every last bit of his right to rest in peace. Doing something like that is like adding more grief to what Curly went through. I am very tempted to post in the comments section for him to go back and remove the card if it's not been removed already and apologize to Curly for doing that either way. He certainly is owed an apology. The person who left the stuffed teddy bear for him had much more the right idea and showed respect. I'm sure Curly appreciated that gesture but the other guy should have thought before he did that.

Thank you very much for the nice welcome FineBari ;D I will certainly look into the fan club. You can't beat that price at all! I always thought it was much more than 9 bucks. For that price I probably will join. It's a great way to support the Stooges ;D
I might have to be in the area that fan convention will be around that time and will have a lot of time to kill so I will look into possibly attending. Those conventions always look like a lot of fun.
Anyway thank you for the very nice welcome ;D

Well the Stooges didn't have lyrics. I mean yeah it was a jazzed up take on Three Blind Mice, but that's it. Are you asking if anyone knows a similar version of Three Blind Mice with "All the birds in the treetops" in the lyrics.
-

From time-to-time, but it is not public domain, nor are the other Healy/Stooges MGM shorts. It usually doesn't take long before Warner Brothers' legal dept. has those discs withdrawn from the market.

Assuming you're not referring to the Three Blind Mice theme song, that one is called "Listen To The Mockingbird". I've never heard it used with lyrics in a Three Stooges Short. It's in one of my fake books (a fake book is a songbook musicians use that just has the melody line in musical notation with the chords written in above - so the musician can "fake" it if he/she doesn't already know the song). The composer is Alice Hawthorne and the lyrics are as follows:
I'm dreaming now of Hally,
Sweet Hally, sweet Hally,
I'm dreaming now of Hally,
For the thought of her is one that never dies;
She's sleeping in the valley,
In the valley, in the valley,
She's sleeping in the valley,
And the mockingbird is singing where she lies.
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
The mockingbird still singing o'er her grave;
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
Still singing where the weeping willows wave.
Ah! well I yet remember,
Remember, remember,
Ah! well, I yet remember,
When we gather'd in the cotton, side by side;
'Twas in the mild September,
September, September,
'Twas in the mild September,
And the mockingbird is singing where she lies.
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
The mockingbird still singing o'er her grave;
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
Still singing where the weeping willows wave.
In the theme song from Three Stooges shorts of the 30s, only the verse melody (I'm dreaming now of Hally) was used; the chorus (Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird) was not included.
Speaking of trivia, does anyone know when the shorts started using Three Blind Mice instead of Listen to the Mockingbird? I know there were a few other theme songs that were only used once, but I mean as a regular, recurring theme song. While watching the new Sony sets (in the original order of their release), I thought I noticed Three Blind Mice being used for the first time in Flat Foot Stooges, but then I heard Listen to the Mockingbird being used a time or two after that before Three Blind Mice became a permanent fixture. I'll try to pay a little more attention next time I watch these sets.
-
Assuming you're not referring to the Three Blind Mice theme song, that one is called "Listen To The Mockingbird". I've never heard it used with lyrics in a Three Stooges Short. It's in one of my fake books (a fake book is a songbook musicians use that just has the melody line in musical notation with the chords written in above - so the musician can "fake" it if he/she doesn't already know the song). The composer is Alice Hawthorne and the lyrics are as follows:
I'm dreaming now of Hally,
Sweet Hally, sweet Hally,
I'm dreaming now of Hally,
For the thought of her is one that never dies;
She's sleeping in the valley,
In the valley, in the valley,
She's sleeping in the valley,
And the mockingbird is singing where she lies.
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
The mockingbird still singing o'er her grave;
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
Still singing where the weeping willows wave.
Ah! well I yet remember,
Remember, remember,
Ah! well, I yet remember,
When we gather'd in the cotton, side by side;
'Twas in the mild September,
September, September,
'Twas in the mild September,
And the mockingbird is singing where she lies.
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
The mockingbird still singing o'er her grave;
Listen to the mockingbird,
Listen to the mockingbird,
Still singing where the weeping willows wave.
I had no idea that this song was SO sad! The melody sounds so happy.....

I am trying to find the shorts where the stooges "huddle". It is a repeated routine and in at least one they each say "huddle" as they run around and then get into a football-like huddle. Any hints? Much appreciated!

At the very top of the web page, there are pull-down items. Go to the one that says "Stooge Info", and you will find a section called "Stooge Routines". I would look it up myself, but I don't have any time right now!
You may have to look for awhile, as they are listed in alphabetical order, and may be listed under something else other than 'huddle'.

Hi,
Morbid questions:
When did the Howards' parents die?
Also, when did their brother Irving die? I think I read somewhere years ago that he died relatively young but it was so long ago I can't remember the source for verification.
Thanks
-

Jennie Horwitz (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=3604), 9/6/39
Solomon Horwitz (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=692), 12/21/43
Each appears with DOB, DOD and filmography credits in this site's cast database (http://threestooges.net/cast.php).
Irving Horwitz died in August 1939.
-
Thanks for the answers and for the links. Hey, Jennie and I share a birthday.
Sad to confirm Irving died too young. What was the cause?
-

I remember Joan telling me it had something to do with appendicitis. When he died though, it was quite the family secret, because no one had the heart to tell Jennie (who was very ill at the time) that her first-born son was dead. Then three weeks later, Jennie passed away.

Hello again, and thanks again for answering my questions. I finally found out where I first heard about Irving's untimely death: "Curly," by Joan Howard. I'm reading it again and came across the passage about Irving and Jennie dying around the same time.
Speaking of which, what do you guys think of that book? Jeez, Joan really tears into her grandmother, doesn't she? Sol, too. In his autobiography, seemed Moe had nothing but praise for his parents, while this one, Joan makes them out to be almost the villains! Thoughts? Good book, bad book?

It's been years since I've read both books, but really, I think most families have differing views on generations, especially when they come from different cultures. It's the same way in my family.
-
Finished reading the "Curly" biography. Good book all around. My only two qualms were making Jennie Horwitz out to be some sort of mini villain in Curly's early life. And of course, the throw away mention of Irving's death. Just one sentence, no build up, no cause of death listed, just, "Oh yeah, Irving died three weeks before Jennie died but they didn't tell her." Next topic. Whaaat? Other than that, good book, I enjoyed it.
So there's a Moe biography, a Larry biography and a Curly biography. Someone needs to do a Shemp biography. It would be an interesting angle, "The Stooge in the Shadows" anyone? Wonder why Joan never tackled that one.
P.S. I laughed at that early advertisement for the Two-VHS Gift Set for ONLY $54.95. In 1984. In today's dollars that would be around $110. For 6 whole episodes. We've come a long way. [cool]

You may have discussed this before, but, on the site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Three_Stooges_films Spooks! and Pardon My Backfire were shot in 3-D... I did watch these and the 3-D is hilarious being for instance the "eye poke" bit is Moe dotting the camera, and objects flying while tied to a string. I'm sure it was cool back then, but what were they thinking? LOL

I saw a scene very much like this many years ago, and I can't seem to find it again. It was done in a really hilarious way, I thought, but I seem to be one of a very few who found it so memorable. I must have something wrong, because search engines can't seem to find it for me. It went something like the following; can anyone help?
Stooge 1: "Hey, (?, Stooge 2). Here's $10 of the $20 I owe you."
Stooge 2: "(?, Stooge 3). Here's $10 of the $20 I owe you."
Stooge 3: "(?, Stooge 1). Here's $10 of the $20 I owe you."
Stooge 1: "Hey, (?, Stooge 2). Here's the other $10 I owe you."
Stooge 2: "(?, Stooge 3). Here's the other $10 I owe you."
Stooge 3: "(?, Stooge 1). Here's the other $10 I owe you."
Stooge 1 pockets the $10 he started with, and all are happy.

I believe that's "A Merry Mix-Up." I'm about 95% sure because I only saw that short twice and it's been a long time since I last saw it.

Larry does that bit to Moe in one of the Bessers. It's the one when he has a secretary and that big ass bowtie. Man I can't recall the name of that one.
It's only two of them though, no third Stooge.

Well, Toluca Lake sounds right; I know Shemp lived in that area.
$700,000's.....Man, that could buy a palatial estate and probably 100 acres of land where I live, north of Pittsburgh!

Although I know nothing about the geography of LA or its surrounding area, could this possibly be 'the house on Ledge St.' That Curly bought for his third wife, Marion? Three bedrooms sounds like a good clue; he had a stepson in that marriage. Too bad there's no street name mentioned in the ad...
$700,000? That'd be a steal, in my neighborhood! I live in the Sunset District, in San Francisco. I've seen Junior 5s go for over $1 million. :o

Not the Stooges... that was done by Laurel & Hardy (BUSY BODIES [1933] if memory serves), and later borrowed a couple times by Gleason & Carney in "The Honeymooners" sketches.

Off the top of my head, the first film, Stooge-wise, that I can think of is '3 Dumb Clucks.' Moe and Larry use Curly as a battering ram to bust a hole in the wall, so they can break out of jail and keep their father from marrying 'that dame.' (And they aim to do it, too. That's what they aim to do. 'They aim). ....Hope this helps.
-
Thank you, but i am looking for a scene, where a wood door gets broken. I think in this scene from 3 Dumb Clucks, there will be stone walls in the jail, not?

This is from IMDB bio of Curly-
"Contrary to popular legend, the actor made a second cameo appearance as the face of an attacking bat in "Spooks!", a Three Stooges short from 1953. Unlike his silent appearance as a train passenger in his only other cameo- here, he offers his trademark, "Woowoowoowoowoo...", but his face looks starkly different than the one to which we'd all become accustomed. It was released posthumously (Curly died in 1952), and is the only film by the Stooges, which is in 3D."
The Youtube post of Spooks is a bit fuzzy, so can anyone confirm or deny?
(I know Pardon My Backfire was also in 3D, so that part is wrong, anyways)

100% bull. Shemp was the bat.
SPOOKS was filmed 16 months after Curly died.

That is so obviously Shemp's face on the bat. What makes that scene so funny is that when Shemp says "What a hideous monstrous face", he is basically talking about himself, while Moe & Larry both look from the bat to Shemp & then at the bat again.
Whoever it was on IMDB that said that it was Curly (or anyone else for that matter) must be some kind of a "stupid imbecilic fool".

I clicked on your link & that trivia section has more than one piece of misinformation. In that last item about "Spooks", it not only says that it's Curly in that clip, but that he "offers his trademark Woowooowooowooo". However, anyone who actually watches that short will see Shemp's face on the bat while he offers his trademark "Eebeebeebee, ruff, ruff, ruff".
[band]
While I'm nitpicking, a slightly less glaring error is in the section about the song, "The Curly Shuffle". The name of the band that performed that song is the "Jump 'N The Saddle Band" (not Jump in the Saddle), and they were a Chicago area blues band (not a comedy group) with six guys including a horn section. I am a proud owner of their CD and therefore I know whereof I speak. In fact, it's been awhile since I played that CD. I think I'll just have to pop it in the CD player as soon as I finish typing this post.

I agree the bats face and voice is Shemp but the first time I heard the "ruff ruff ruff" it threw me as this was more of a Curly trademark than Shemps. I actually can't remember another short where Shemp "barked" is there any? ???

-
does anyone know the make and year of the large sedan that is blown up in Violent is the Word for Curly? I thank you in advance for any help.
I just spent 20 minutes or so trying to figure out what car this is, and that was based on the hood ornament. I couldn't find any other marks on the car that would identify it. I really couldn't find the exact one, but did learn a lot more about hood ornaments! Did you know they are called 'car mascots' in Great Britain!
Anyway, the ornament looks like many other 'wing-ed women', but I couldn't find the exact same one. Some 1920's Plymouths and DeSotos look like they may be it. I think that the hood ornament looks like it was rigged up somehow for Curly's gag, when he puts the rag over the ornament. The other ornaments seem to be more horizontal, not standing up like this one is.
I hope there is a person out there that knows their cars, so they can answer this question.

Which Stooges short includes a scene where two German military men enters a room only to see scuttles going on? One says to the other, "Paskudnik." It may mean "bad boy" in Slovak as well as if it's German.

Hi fellow Stooges lovers, I had a question about a Stooges short that has Shemp in it solo. I forget the title, but he was clearly in it as a army guy that burned Lou's hands with a hot pan full of donuts. I guess you could say that I was hooked to the stooges (and Shemp *swoons*) with that video alone. It also had math problems in it. But the title of the movie/short eludes me. You guys have any idea? Thanks

Yup that's the one! Shemp was called Dizzy in that if I recall correctly! So funny and full of innocent fun (what we don;t get these days for that matter) Thanks :)

TV prints of the Besser Stooge shorts used to open with a scene from the upcoming short before the opening credits. Did the theatrical prints also open like that? Was this so a TV station could use the scene as a promo?
-
This was done with only a few of the Besser Stooges shorts, not all of them. I believe the extra scene was added at the beginnings before the titles to extend the running times of some of the shorter episodes, so they'd all be closer to the same running time, for the convenience of TV programmers. I don't believe they were shown theatrically that way.
The same thing was done to some of the shorter Blondie movies to bring each one to 75 minutes when King Features prepared those movies for TV in 1966.

Hi guys-
Sorry if my post seems out of place, but I wasn't sure if I could start a new thread / topic.. or how to navigate it-
Anyways, what I'm trying to find out is, did Curly ever give interviews (alone or with other stooges), 'out of character',
using his normal voice? I thought I'd read somewhere that he didn't give many interviews.
Thanks.
-
That has been discussed before.. To my knowledge, he did no interviews with his real voice.. Although there are some instances where he used his real voice in the shorts, but not many..

Hi!
I'm a newbie who's been a Stooge fan for quite a while. [3stooges] I just found this website, and am glad I am able to join it.
I love the pictures everyone posted.

Filming Location:
Hi There...I watch alot of three stooges and I am very curious on how I can find out where filiming locations took place around the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles sure does look great in the 30's and 40's. On "Violent Curly", I was curious of the filming location where the ice cream truck stopped, and they brought our Curly to thaw him and also where the location of the gas station was in the beginning of the short. If any one knows, please let me know. Thank you.
Tony

All location shooting in VIOLENT IS THE WORD FOR CURLY was done on the Columbia backlot in Burbank. The gas station was a temporary set on a corner of the city park section of the backlot.

When I was about 6 my mother took me to a movie for the first time - would've been 1962, 1963 at latest.
As I recall, the first film was the three stooges.
They were tinkers, on a horse drawn cart, with lots of pots and pans on it.
Somehow they had found themselves in the middle of an Indian war.
Of course there were lots of arrows flying, but all that the stooges had to defend themselves with was the pots and pans, which they used both as shields, and to hurl at the Indians.
Being only 6, and having never seen a film before, I believed everything I saw. I knew that arrows can injure and kill, but pots and pans are too small to be proper shields or serious weapons, so I started crying so loudly in fright that my mother had to take me out :D
I have looked all through the list of films they made, and cannot see which one it must have been.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks :-)

That sounds like the 1937 short "Goofs and Saddles". Some scenes from it were also used in the 1954 "Pals and Gals".
-
Hmmm ... a wagon with pots 'n' pans, yes, but that one is covered.
The wagon that I saw was open - just a cart, really - got the impression they were tinkers and the pots and pans were for selling, not just household effects.
Also, they were right in the middle of an Indian war, and there seem to be no Indians in Goofs and Saddles.
There were definitely Indians in the film I saw, and they were on a small open wagon with lots of pots and pans.

The Outlaws is Coming!
-
The Outlaws is Coming was 1965
Mary Poppins - 1964
The Sound of Music - 1965
Whichever Stooges film I saw - it was before 1964 (Mary Poppins) 'cause by then I had some idea of what films were about.
I had lived in the country when I was little - we came to Brisbane at the beginning of 1962 and soon after we went to see some film - and the Three Stooges short was shown first.
-
Maybe "The Three Stooges Go Round The World In A Daze" and it was the time machine that they stood around as it spun, I have not seen this in a very long time but i seem to remember them dropping things off a they traveled back thru time. Maybe, Maybe not the one but no one else has mentioned it so far......
-
The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze
1963 - so in the right time period ...
but...
??? no American Indians that I could see in the description.
They were in the middle of Indians firing arrows :) and the 3 stooges were on an open cart with only pots and pans to defend themselves - 'cos that's what frightened me :D

Are you positive it was a short and not a feature?
-
I was only 6 and this was my first film ever, so I can't really tell you.
I guess I have assumed it was a short because since then I have only ever seen shorts.
I know that it was the practice in the 60's to show a short movie first (Three Stooges, Bugs Bunny, news reels, etc) then show the main film after a short interval.
I had no idea the thee stooges even made feature films until I found this site a few days ago.
All I can tell you is what I have already posted - all three stooges were on an open cart with lots of pots and pans in the middle of an Indian war.
-
Perhaps you have 2 shorts mended in your mind as one? The only pots and pans gag I can recall is what everyone else has echoed - Goofs and Saddles. One short that comes to mind that has Indians is Rockin' Thru the Rockies..
You can see the Goofs and Saddles bit here:
[youtube=425,350]5tZAQQj8pdo[/youtube]
Now it's also possible you could have seen Stop! Look! and Laugh!, which featured Goofs and Saddles in a compilation.
That's my best guess.

Indians (without their pots & pans) are of course, also in "Back to the Woods" (1937).
-
OK
Now that I've seen the video I guess that Goofs and Saddles may be the one.
There are plenty of pots and pans, and men on horseback.
Perhaps my memory converted men with guns into Indians with arrows.
Both can be deadly!
Thanks guys :D

[noevils]
I don't know why I never noticed this before, but I was watching WOMAN HATERS, & the Three Stooges were named Jim (Larry), Jackie (Curly - or as it says in the credits, Curley), and Tommy (Moe). I'm curious - Does anyone know where these names originated or if they were ever used anywhere else? Were there any last names shown in the script? I know it's the first short on their own after the break with Ted Healy; I'm guessing it's because the boys weren't really established until later (when they were consistently using their own names).

I have a couple different versions of the script, and in none are any last names given for the Stooges' characters. I believe those names Jim, Jackie and Tommy were just randomly chosen.
-
Considering that the whole dialogue is in 'song', I am guessing that the names were chosen simply to rhyme.

I am a Stooges fan and have been for well over 40 years BUT one thing (I'm sure there are others) that I do not know is, What is the significance of the number 6 7/8 with the stooges? I've seen six and seven eighths appear quite a few times in their shorts but have never know what that number signifies or why it shows up so often...
Anyone know the answer?

It's a hat size that apparently The Stooges (or the writers) thought sounded funny.
-
Rich Finegan is right. 6 7/8 is a hat size. Hats aren't nearly as popular these days as they were back in the 1930s or 1940s, so the joke isn't as obvious as it once was.
I thought it made for a good gag when Moe asked what size diaper a baby should be wearing, & Larry answered, "I don't know. Maybe 6 7/8!"
-
Hello fellow Stooge fans, please excuse me if this topic has come up before, but this is my first post to this forum, so please bare with me, my question be; Besides from a few photos, are there any surviving elements of the censored 10 Commandment scene from “Heavenly Daze,” scripts, audio, if I ‘m not mistaken, I believe the scene was axed before cameras rolled. Thanks.

You are probably out of luck there. You may be able to find one somebody made on the internet that is unlicensed.
I think there is a screen saver somewhere on this site, but it is not animated.

Here's a suggestion, depending on your Operating System. If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (32-bit edition only), Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit editions), Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit editions), or Windows Server 2008 you can download and install Windows Live Photo Gallery (http://download.live.com/photogallery). It comes with a screensaver function. Then grab the Stooges pictures that you like (you can check our Image Galleries (http://threestooges.net/galleries.photos.php)), saving them to a folder on your computer. You can then go into your screen saver settings and set up the Photo Gallery screen saver to use your Stooges folder.
UPDATE: I should also mention that the Photo Gallery program is free. ;D

Does anyone recall which short that was in? Thanks again!

Ive been a Stooge fan since i was a kid dont get me wrong when i ask this....
There was a Besser short that saw once as a kid but was never shown again since then, i remember a scene where Moe's "Niece" was singing the stooge theme, she did something wrong and the stooges chased her around to spank her. Then Moe falls into a vat of water and yells "Dammit!"
what was that short?

Is anyone here familiar with the works of screenwriter Aleen Leslie? She passed away on February 2nd, at the age of 101, and in her obituary she is credited for writing two-reelers for the Three Stooges at Universal. I looked her up on IMDB and no Stooge shorts were listed.
I was wondering if maybe the article has mistaken the Stooges for another comedy team, or was it just the obvious studio mix-up between Universal and Columbia.
Here is the obit;
Screenwriter Aleen Leslie dies at 101
Credits include 'Doctor Takes a Wife,' 'Date With Judy,'
Aleen Leslie, a screenwriter, novelist, playwright and vintage radio writer-producer, died of natural causes in her Beverly Hills home on Feb. 2, three days shy of her 102nd birthday.
Leslie was a member of the Writers Guild since 1938 and was its oldest member. She served a six-month term as vp of the Screen Writers Guild just before it became the Writers Guild of America in the early 1950s.
Leslie wrote for the Pittsburgh Press, then began in the business writing two-reelers for the Three Stooges at Universal. A rare female screenwriter in her day, she ultimately worked at every studio in Hollywood and wound up with 19 credited movies to her name.
Those credits include "The Doctor Takes a Wife" (1940) with Ray Milland and Loretta Young; "Father Was a Fullback" (1949) with Fred MacMurray, Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood; and "Father Is a Bachelor" (1950) with William Holden. She also wrote for several pics in the "Henry Aldrich" series of the 1940s that starred Jimmy Lydon.
Also in the '40s, Leslie created the radio show "A Date With Judy" for actress Helen Mack, who decided she was too old to play a teenager and so directed the broadcasts while Leslie wrote and produced them.
"A Date With Judy" became a 1948 feature film starring Elizabeth Taylor and also had a run on television.
Leslie wrote two novels, "The Scent of the Roses" and "The Windfall," and a multitude of plays, some produced at the Pasadena Playhouse and others in New York and San Francisco.
In addition, she was the "star" of her daughter Diane Leslie's 1999 novel, "Fleur De Leigh's Life of Crime," which remained on the Los Angeles Times' best-seller list for 28 weeks.
Leslie was married to entertainment attorney Jacques Leslie. In addition to her daughter, Leslie is survived by her brother, Robert Wetstein; her son, writer Jacques Leslie Jr.; three grandchildren; and three great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Doctors Without Borders.
-
Coincidentally I just posted a correction to that report on the TCM Message Boards.
We know, of course that The Stooges never made any two-reelers for Universal.
And Aleen Leslie is not officially credited with writing any of The Stooges' Columbia shorts.
She does apparently have at least one writing credit for a Columbia short. It's an Andy Clyde remake of the Charley Chase short "The Nightshirt Bandit".
So, this is just one more poorly researched news report.
-
Hey thanks Rich for the answer to my Aleen Leslie question. And by the way I never had a chance to finish that Wheeler and Woolsey cartoon, some day maybe.

Great try - but unfortunately no cigar. I watched both shorts and although Curly has a good "Oh, a backbiter, eh" line in each, there's no "Oh, sabatoogie, eh" line.
If any other shorts come to mind, please let me know. Thanks!

What about Idle Roomers? Curly says it right before he hits the sponge and it squirts water.

He's right, indeed.
From the Transcript page:
[Curly grabs the cows tail and ties it to his stool. The cow then pulls the stool away with his tail and Curly falls on the floor.
CURLY: Oh, sabotoogy, eh! Give me my stool! [The cow hits Curly in the head with the stool] Oh oh oh oh!
You'd think I'd be the one to know that since I was the one who transcribed that one. :-[

Hi everyone, new to the board, lifelong knucklehead.
Quick question about the Pilot Jerk of All Trades. I saw the dvd in a used book store today for $3 and wondered is this worth buying? It has this pilot, some movie trailers, and a couple other things I don't recall. I will probably buy it, but I was wondering what everyone thinks of this short?
-
It's pretty good and definitely worth $3.
-
Thanks, Im gonna pick it up tomorrow.
I think like 14 episodes of the cartoon were also on the disc so I hope it is still there.
-
Anybody remember the name of that TV special they did back in the late 80's or early 90's on the stooges life? They got famous comedians to play the stooges. I'm thinking maybe billy crystal?

I hope you are able to find it & buy it at the store today. I taped it off teevee several years back, & I still enjoy watching it. It's a chance to see the Three Stooges doing a live act in front of a studio audience, which is unique. It doesn't have the added sound effects, though, which is still one of my favorite features in the Stooges shorts.

It was on ABC, and the only real famous person involved was Michael Chiklis, from The Commish and The Shield.

Will do.

I bought it today, well worth the money. The short (Jerk of all Trades) IS funny but yes very weird to see the stooges without sound effects, and having a studio audience laugh. Kind of gives you the vibe they probably had while on vaudeville, which is priceless.
Also included are 4 trailers: STOP! LOOK! and LAUGH! Have Rocket, Will Travel, Three Stooges in Orbit, and Go Around the World in a Daze
17 of the cartoons, WOW
and 25 mins worth of colorized Moe, Larry, Curly Joe shorts... I think these were originally from the cartoon show.
In the same store I also found Three Stooges in Orbit for $6! Had to buy it even though I'm not a big CJ fan and I hope they release all the movies in one set eventually.

I don't think that's it. The mask is on the mid-40's shorts until the very end of their Columbia career.
-
I have searched the internet for weeks trying to find that mask. It's very important that I get the right one as this will be permanent. I even paused one of the shorts and took a picture of the TV screen but it was so distorted it won't due for a tattoo. If someone can get a pic for me I'll post the tattoo as soon as I get it. Thanks so much

In the episode, "Hold That Lion", what is the sound that was used when the lion was supposed to be "laughing"? It's definitely the sound of some animal. I noticed that the same sound was used in "Spook Louder" and one other episode.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

I've often wondered about that one, myself. I had just guessed it was a common "funhouse" sound (like the old laughing box deal, as used by The Joker!), sort of like a cross between a monkey and a hyena.
-
Hey, everybody. In the interview with Tom Bergeron that's posted on the Facebook page, Moe said that the comedy material that the Stooges performed was farce, and not slapstick. I understand the farce in the Nazi-themed episodes, but where else is the farce located? In the mockery of certain professions?
-
Honestly, I don't know if this is the correct thread to put this, but I didn't want to start a new thread to clutter up space.
I know we have a "Tribute" section to the Stooges and one I noticed wasn't in there was in "There's Something About Mary". Although it may be coincidence, Matt Dillon's character's name is "Healy" and Ben Stiller's character's name is "Ted". Given that the Farrally Bros. are Stooges fans, I thought it was kind of an obvious nod.

DUPLICATE POSTING (first posted in wrong category - my bad ! [cry])
Hi, Stoogefans !
I'm coming to the Mountaintop to mine the wealth of knowledge here. Hope somebody has the answer here.
In some episode, the boys were somewhere in the Middle East, and naturally, in big trouble -- they had a code phrase that they said back and forth to each other while they were dressed in Middle Eastern garb (I suppose a recognition code or something like that)....
It was something like:
"Friend?"
"Magonda !"
"Magonda ?"
"Friend !"
Spelling is probably wrong.
Does anybody remember something like that ?? It was a saying that a group I belonged to back in the early '70's started yelling as a joke, and nobody ever really knew the origin at the time (at least not that I knew of !), but just lately, somebody who preceded ME in the group told us it came from this Stooges episode. Nobody has any clue as to the episode name, but I would love to get a clip of it !
If you can help, thanks much !!

It's not from a Three Stooges film.

The only shorts I can remember with them in middle eastern garb is
Wee Wee Monsieur(Curly) where the stooges join the foriegn legion, you get the first rendition of the santa clause gag.
Malice in the Palace(Shemp) rooten tootins diamond, second santa clause gag
Rumpus in the Harem (fake Shemp) remake of malice in the palace.

Hello to all. My question is mainly for the person that put together the Stooges bibliography. I am compiling a bibliography of own, with about a thousand entries so far. There are a couple if items on your list that I have been unable to locate or even look at. Would you be able to either tell me how you found them, or perhaps send me a copy of the pertinent pages so that I can add them to my index?
I appreciate your help. How and where should I look for responses to this post? Thank you very much.

I think that several people have put together the bibliography, rather than just one person.
-
Thank you. I'm not sure how to respond to the response to my question, rather than to the original question - hope this works.
Is their someone that has access to the items in the bibliography, so I can direct my question to them?
Thanks very much.

With only a couple exceptions, each book in the Bibliography (http://threestooges.net/bibliography.php[/url) has a purchase link to Amazon.
Any internet search engine can turn up various options for long out-of-print books, magazines, comic books... Amazon Marketplace, eBay, ioffer, etc.
-
Several items in the bibliography are literally impossible to locate. I wondered if anyone actually owns them, or did at the time they were submitted to this site. Thanks.
-

Every entry in the Bibliography (http://threestooges.net/bibliography.php) came from my library.
Time & rarity define accesibility, and cost, but to the best of my knowledge nothing listed in the Bibliography is "impossible" to locate.
-
You're right of course. But because of the rarity, it is reasonable to ask if any readers of this site own, or have information that might help in researching these items.
I'll be specific, and describe two listings from the bibliography.
1. Plan-TV by Estaban Farfan This is from Planeta Television, an Argentinian company.
2. The Canadian TV guide from August 1992, with a Stooge cover and article by Bill Brioux.
I'm not necessarily looking to own these. The chance to examine a copy or scan would be fine.
Thank you very much.

I guess I should have posted here first, but this site is really complicated to a person who "Every time he thinks he weakens the nation"....Just in case anyone is interested I will give a brief bio of my forte's....1st: classic movies...2nd: The Stooges...3rd: Baseball...4th: Every other human endeaver from the Bronze age to now.
I have scanned some of the comments and I am somewhat impressed by the savvy around here. I hope to fit in, and get into some good talk.
Something I have not seen here is stuff about the new Stooge movie, of which I'm totally stoked, yet ignorant. Fill me in Mr. Shemps. I know that it's supposed to be Del Toro, Penn and Carrey, but my info is 2 years old.

Oh, there is talk. I would say 95% or more of us here are sickened by the idea of the Stooge movie, and wish it would fade away.
I would find a thread on the movie here, but I just woke up.

Hi there,
This letter is in response to a subscriber ( and fellow stooge fan ) asking me in front of the whole wolrd to "please tone takt it down a few notches".
Well i thought about it all night and this is the very best i could come up with. I usually don't reply to such letters, but I plan on sticking around for a while. And yes, I am aware of this peticular clients "Status" around here....well here goes...
Dear sir,
Please forgive me for being a bit overzealous but I am absolutely thrilled to have found a place to celebrate my idols free of shame and ridicule
(ridicule that i'm sure we've ALL had to endure as STOOGE fans). I was just having fun. Quoting a few lines from one of my favorite episodes...(No Census)and joking around with my new online buddy... MY POST WAS NOT DIRECTED AT YOU.
I sincerely hope I did not ruin your " vibe " by being "too enthused". Please forgive the offense. ( Sheesh What A Grouch!!! )
Sincerely,
Pablo ( CannedCoin ) Trujillo

I have been a member of this website for about 10-11 years and a Mod pretty much since the Message Boards opened (only the "oldest" among us can remember when the Filmography was the only part of the website). Newbies such as yourself go through a vetting process (which is why you cannot post new topics right away) so it is my job as a Mod to keep an eye on all the newbies that come along. As with any other newbie I have been following your posts for awhile and I have noticed your posting style is akin to someone having downed a couple six packs of Red Bull and is now bouncing off of the walls.
I have seen many of those types come here and suffice it to say they do not last long. Most newbies I do not have any issues with, in fact I can't even remember the last time I had to ban a newbie for behavior problems it's been so long. Most of my recent bans have been for multiple accounts or spamming. I asked you "take it down a few notches" because contrary to what some may believe I do not like banning people BUT I have found you to be rather annoying and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has.
As for who the post was directed to: to be blunt, I don't give a shit. If I didn't respond to the post as I did I wouldn't be doing my job. This is definitely a place for fans of the Three Stooges to come together and discuss their passions in an intelligent manner but just because it is a Three Stooges board doesn't mean you have to act "wacky" or "zany" (i.e. annoying). As for how long you stay here that's up to you. If you do not "slow your roll" and "take it down a few notches" as I previously advised you then might want to make a change of plans.

I am in no mood to suffer fools today. If you are really 18, Canned Coin, you should be embarrassed to be acting like such a retarded jerk. I've instituted a 180 day ban; you can come back then if you've dried out behind the ears and have learned how to act like an adult. ::)

I deal with enough idiots at my job, so thank you guys for taking care of this one.

I can sure spot them, can't I?
I want clarify that I am not out to "kill" or "subdue" anyone's "spirit" (whatever that may be) or the "Stooge within" for that matter. I cannot tolerate people coming here and acting like idiots. I don't think my request that he tone himself down was asking too much and I feel as though I took a rather diplomatic (if stern) approach. If this had happened a few years back circa the Islipp Era or immediately after I would have banned him outright. Perhaps I am getting soft in my old age.
You're right Rob; as I was reading that mess and he stated he is "only" 18 (which is legally an adult just about everywhere) I wondered why he would announce that after acting as if he were 3.
-
Canned Clown is only 18? Why does that not surprise me? Maybe he can have fun with his Cindy Crosby dolls until he wakes up and realizes that this is more of a grown-up website. "If only we could find some a-dult."

PS- I'm only 18 years old and a friend of mine recommended this site
and
that's ALL I DO ALL DAY is sit and watch The three Stooges. Sometimes if i like a peticular episode like WARBIRDS or GENTS or POLECATS, I'll watch them 10 times in a row. I don't work. I don't have kids, a wife, or a pet. So ALL I DO is Eat, Sleep, and watch The Stooges and commit to memory scenes scripts etc.
When I read that, I immediately got the impression that Pablo "CannedCoin" Trujillo must be still living at home with mommy and daddy (who are no doubt trying to find a cure for his arrested development & wondering how they are going to get him to start looking for a job).
Maybe he should try posting his meth induced psycho-babble on the Three Stooges dot com "guestbook". It just might fit there. Better yet, he might meet up with killarny (that bozo from last summer); surely cannedcoin has already committed to memory that "quicksand scene with 5 to 10 minutes of hilarity". Maybe he can tell killarny and his 7 friends which episode that alleged sketch appears in.

I don't know what may have been discussed on this before (maybe it needs its own topic), but this raises some questions.
How do you know that there's something that used to be in the short but is now cut?
What is it?
What other shorts are apparently cut even on the Sony Collection?

There are discussions scattered on the internets about the foot tickling scene. Apparently, on some syndication versions it was left out entirely, which led some folks to believe that they remembered seeing a much longer version.
Based on the discussions, it seems like some folks are mixing vague memories of the tickling bit from Self-Made Maids with this short.
Along the same lines, I wonder if anyone has ever located that missing footage from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where Mia Sara disrobes at the pool! I'm sure I saw that, either on a network airing or in the theater, I'm just not sure which.. >:D

Concerning the phrase "Oh, a wise guy!":
I've been making my way through the shorts on DVD in roughly chronological order, and I noticed something when I got to A Ducking They Did Go. When the duck sprays Curly with a jet of water and Curly responds with the now famous line, "Oh, a wise guy!", it occurred to me that I could not recall any previous short in which Curly (or either of the other Stooges) uses that line. Moreover, I haven't yet found a subsequent short (I haven't yet viewed all of them, but I'm close to the end of the ones with Curly) in which that line occurs. So is this famous line really used only in this one short?

Thump, I can't see any way in hell that that scene would be cut. I'm thinking that you are confusing the film with "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", with the mouth watering Phoebe Cates!
I don't remember EVER seeing nudity in a John Hughs movie. A few examples: Pretty in pink, the Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Weird Science (too bad!) Bueller and I think St. Elmo's Fire.

You're right! I was simply making light of the fact that the same misunderstanding occurred with that John Hughes picture. Folks on the internets swear that they've seen footage from "Ferris" that doesn't exist. Much like the tickle fetishists are sure that there's more Stooge "footage" to be found! LOL

Just in case I get lucky on this thread, here is my question for the "Questions and Answers" section:
subject line: "mind reader" triple slap with purse...
What Curly episode was that brief scene in? The guys were going door-to-door and stopped a young woman. Curly said, "Pardon me, can we...?" whereupon she quickly said "NO!" and used her purse to slap all three of them in the face. Then she went into her door and after it closed, the sign had her name with "Mind Reader" posted below. I wish I knew what episode that was in! It was just a throwaway scene, but it is my favorite--if only in my memory. If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful!

Sorry about that, sages4stooges. Your reviews should have been counted toward your post counts, but a glitch in the code was keeping them from being counted.

I recently purchased a derby said to be worn by Shemp in "He Cooked His Goose", in 1952. The seller said he bought it from a man named Saul in Conoga Park, CA in the 1970's who worked with props on Stooges shorts, that was all the info he could provide. Has anyone ever heard of this "Saul" person? I bought the hat because I did not want to pass it up if it is real, any suggestions on how to authenicate this hat? The seller sells a few Stooges props on ebay now and then and offers some nice items, but are they real? How can I tell? The hat is a size 7 3/8 and has part of the inner sweat band purposley cut out as to not show the hat manufacturer. It's a great piece I just wish I could make a clear determination if it is real or not.

It's a great piece I just wish I could make a clear determination if it is real or not.
Does it emit a high-pitched "Hee-bee-bee-bee-bee" when agitated?
Sorry; I hope somebody has some useful information for you.

Is there a property department tag and number inside?
-
No, there are no tags or numbers of any kind in the hat. The hat does not have a liner either, I will watch "He Cooked His Goose" and see if I can find any similarities with the hat.

I seem to recall somebody selling a 'Curly' derby on Ebay.
I would never buy a supposed studio prop unless there was a property tag present and/or documentation.
-
Sometimes you just have to make your best judgement, in a perfect world it would have had tags and numbers and a COA but most props of the era do not. It is still a cool hat in great condition and a good start to my Stooges prop collection.

Slapjack here. Love your website! Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, I searched but couldn't find it anywhere.
I've always been fascinated by Stooge props, especially the clay, mud, and black gunk used as projectiles in many of their episodes.
Any idea of what was used? I can't imagine that real mud or clay was used, especially for face shots, etc. Thanks! - jack

Welcome!
The 'clay' used in clay fights was obviously some sort of cloth covered in some dark substance. I recall the black 'gunk' in a few shorts, and wondered what that was too. It is darker than the 'clay'.
-
When I read your post yesterday, I remembered seeing a reference somewhere that said the darker, non-sticky liquid was some sort of chocolate-liquid-based prop, allegedly so that if any of it actually got into an opening, as in under Moe's eyelids in 'Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise', it wouldn't cause serious problems. I meant to document that source when I first saw it, but forgot to do it. I haven't found it again yet, but will identify it when I do.

Good Afternoon:
Just stumbled onto the site and love it already. I see that the Stoogeum is close by, so I'll be planning a trip soon.
I'm wondering if anyone can provide assistance in contacting Nancy Saunders(I'M A MONKEY'S UNCLE). I have a photo of her and was interested in sending it to get it autographed. I know she was interviewed in the journal(#111).
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Welcome! If you are close to the Stoogeum, you should join the Fan Club, because we meet every spring at the Holiday Inn in Ft. Washington (about 10 minutes away from the Stoogeum)!
Sorry, but I don't have contact information for Nancy Saunders. I'm sure somebody does here.

I had never heard this before either, SlyVenom. I found the same thing, albeit a lot shorter, on Wikipedia:
"Moreland was offered fewer roles in the 1950s, when filmmakers began to reassess roles given to black actors. He was briefly considered as a possible addition to the Three Stooges when Shemp Howard died in 1955. This prospect was disclosed by Moe Howard in a 1971 interview with film historian Michael H. Price, cited in Price's 2007 biography of Moreland, Mantan the Funnyman, from Midnight Marquee Press of Baltimore."
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantan_Moreland]
I liked Moreland a lot in KING OF THE ZOMBIES. I have not yet seen THE STRANGE CASE OF DOCTOR RX, but I'm looking for a copy. I would love to see the interplay with Shemp.
It's really a shame that his career fell victim to what is now called "political correctness". In his time (1930s & 1940s), he took what roles were available for black actors. He should be remembered for his talent and for demonstrating that a black actor was able to get work in the Hollywood of that era; not for the stereotyped roles he was forced to take.

Hi y'all,
Not really a newbie to being a Stooge fan, I've been watching them all my life and became a really
big fan over 10 years ago (I'm 26 now, if that helps) :)
Since I can't start a new post until I have 10 posts, I figured I'd introduce myself here.
I do have a question though, since for the life of me, I can't remember something.
I know there's one short that you almost never see televised because it's considered too racist.
(Something that confuses me, since I figure that you should watch/read things with the time period in which it
was produced in mind.) Can someone please tell me which short that was?

Can I ask somethin'
Why the "Gold Raiders" (1951) page not have any 'Stooge Routines'? Ain't that film features a many Stooge bit like a 'Texas' routine & Nearsighted Eye glass gag by Moe, Larry & Shemp?
And also, why the 'Melodrama' routine not included in 'Stooge Routines'?, ain't it features in "Plane Nuts" (1933), "Time Out for Rhythm" (1941) and "The New Three Stooges" cartoon series (1965)?!

Hello, I've been watching all the Columbia shorts and I've noticed several ''Fake Shemps'' other than Joe Palma in the last four Shemps. The one's I've noticed are:
Self Made Maids: Moe is doubled, Moe as the father is doubled, and all three in drag are doubled, I think
Hoofs and Goofs: Moe is doubled in the last scene
A Merry Mix-Up: All three are doubled twice
Scheming Schemers:In addition to Joe Palma as shemp, Christine McIntyre is doubled for a few seconds in new footage
Hot Ice: Joe Palma doubles for Cy Schindell as Muscles in new footage
Does anyone know any more, or has a list of non-stunt doubles in Three Stooges shorts?
-
...

At the end of Husbands Beware, there's a stand-in for Emil Sitka in the new footage. I always presumed it to be Jules White, since he did so many voice-overs, sneezes and such. Hell, he even did ADR for Vernon Dent in one short (that I can't recall, exactly, right now for some reason!)-- some shouted line like, "They're the ones who wrecked my car! Get 'em, boys!" Didn't sound a thing like Dent! :laugh:
Seems like there was one later Curly short where some of his voice was looped by someone else, too. Some little grunts or odd barking noises, maybe? May have to do a little skippin' around and see if I can find that and other, simliar, occurances. Interesting,..

I'm trying to figure something out:
I want to know who was the FIRST stooge to work with Ted Healy. I have found numerous interviews in which Moe says he ran into Healy going into the Prospect Theater in Brooklyn a couple of years before Shemp joined up (Mike Douglas Show video and others). Then today I read an interview with Steve Cox who just released "One Fine Stooge" and he said Babe Howard (Shemp's wife) claimed rather adamantly that Shemp was with Healy first and that Moe often took credit where it wasn't deserved or something. He claims she said this after the Maurers released "Scrapbook" in the late 70's, him stating it was pocked with historical inaccuracies here and there anyway.
I don't mean to disparage ANYONE's good name, but I have to know the TRUTH: WHO was the first STOOGE, Moe or Shemp?
-
Here's two more,
Triple Crossed: Mary Ainslee was doubled by Connie Cezan in new footage.
Rip,Sew,Stitch: Harold Brauer was doubled in new footage.
-
I was just wondering where the three deleted film frames of "Plane Nuts" printed on page 63 of the "Three Stooges Scrapbook" came from? Would Moe have originally kept that footage?
Just interested since a lot of Buster Keaton's lost footage has been discovered.

I've wondered about that, m'self! Looks like there could've been more frames to that strip of film than were shown, and it looks like the soundtrack area is blacked out.
Even if there wasn't enough to capture any motion, stills could have been made from the existing frames.

I wonder if anyone is actively looking, or has searched this out. Anyone have news on "Hello Pop" ?

I agree with you.

Are there any future plans to release a opening credits shirt with Shemp?

I know there are a lot of small nitpicks here and there about the Sony Three Stooges Collection DVDs. Could one of the experts on here tell me basically all of them (not including the last shorts being matted)? I'm an amateur restorationist who created a universally praised restoration of King Kong vs. Godzilla while in high school, and I would like to know if anybody could help me do the same with the Sony DVDs by correcting whatever mistakes they have.

Several of the Stooges' shorts were edited down into silent, retitled versions, and packaged with Excel's 1949 toy 16mm projector.
BEAR HUNT is not really a Three Stooges short.

Hi -- despite the fact that I have been a registered member for five years, apparently I have never posted anything prior to today, so I guess this "belated hello" and a couple questions must go here for starters.
First question -- someone who was a part of early Stooge history but with very little biographical info available, at least I didn't find much doing a cursory web search: Jack Walsh is mentioned in Moe's autobiography and elsewhere as a straight man Howard, Fine and Howard used when they split with Ted Healy in the early 1930s. I believe I recall Moe mentioning Jack Walsh briefly and maybe in a less-than-flattering way in his autobiography. Anyway, I found it interesting that Healy hired three other Stooges to replace "our" Stooges until they eventually returned (and again once they split permanently in 1934?) and in one of the Forrester Stooge books, there is a picture of the "replacement" Stooges (including Mousie Garner and two other guys) with Jack Walsh -- at least it was captioned that way. I find it interesting that both teams used Jack Walsh as kind of a "surrogate" Ted Healy -- so is there any info on this guy or anything else he did? Also if he appeared in any films, etc. I'm just curious -- I have seen the occasional pic of the Stooges on stage in the 30s or 40s with Eddie Laughton, suggesting that in their live act they continued to use a "straight man" even after they went on their own (at least for a time).
I also was looking for info about Freddie Sanborn, who we know as the "fourth Stooge" in Soup To Nuts, and was part of Ted Healy's troupe for a while. I found reference to a few film appearances including one called National Barn Dance, supposedly based on a radio show out of WLS in Chicago, where he is said to have performed his xylophone routine (which I guess is what he was known for). The info I read said it was a Paramount film, but part of the Paramount library which ended up with Universal -- but apparently never released to TV or home video? Would this be available anyplace, or even worth looking for?
I guess I have a curiosity about the old vaudeville days -- all those performances which weren't filmed or recorded or maybe even written down -- although a lot of routines were written down and/or preserved on film, radio and TV, there have to have been even more that weren't. Joe DeRita is supposed to have saved a trunkload of typewritten pages containing all kinds of old vaudeville routines. I wonder where that ended up...I'd love to see that stuff...

Hello,
In Punch Drunks, can somebody tell me the filming location of the scene where Moe, Larry, and Curly are are getting the car out of the mud? Thank you...I've been always wondering where this scene was filmed. :D

Hi,
Newbie here. I have always been a Stooge Fan, I have a Litho that I found in a house

Thanks, and look forward to the forum.
Hope the pic works

If you mean recordings other than what's in the films, unfortunately I don't believe there ever were any. I've done extensive research on these tunes as well as many others used in The Three Stooges and other Columbia shorts and have found no evidence that these songs were ever released on records by any singers or bands back in the 1930's or at any time later. But, what a missed opportunity! They're both quality compositions and could have been popular hits. Certainly "I Though I Wanted You" has what it takes to have been a success as a hit record. And I always thought "Frederic March", although apparently written only for use as a "generic" march to be used incidentally in Columbia films, was every bit as good as many of the standard marches everyone knows by the classic composers.
So the only way to get recordings of these two songs would be to figure out which version you like the most from a Stooges or other Columbia film in which they are heard, and record them from the film soundtrack (or of course, video or DVD, whatever you may have).
There is a Columbia short that includes the complete version of "I Thought I Wanted You" with lyrics (never heard in its three usages in Stooges shorts) but unfortunately it's a rare one and not available commercially on video, DVD or shown on TV. It's the short that the song was written for and introduced in, a "Musical Novelty" short entitled LOVE DETECTIVES (2-28-34). Betty Grable sings it in the film. The short does exist in a beautiful restored 35mm print and as of now the only way to see it is at a theatrical screening. I have been hoping and requesting for years for Columbia to release the full series of eight "Musical Novelties" shorts on DVD. As we know, only WOMAN HATERS has been available since the series was released in 1934. With The Stooges appearing in WOMAN HATERS (although already available on Stooges DVD's) and Betty Grable starring in two of them and in a co-starring role in a third I believe there would be enough commercial potential for a set of these fun musical shorts to do relatively well if Columbia/SONY would release them. And then you and other fans of the song can finally get to hear the complete original version of "I Thought I Wanted You".

Still a "newbie," so this question will go here.
I don't think I have ever seen this question addressed anywhere (or if I have, I don't remember): who actually coined the nickname "Curly-Joe" for Joe DeRita? I remember in Moe Howard's autobiography he mentions how he contemplated asking DeRita to join the Stooges, and thought with his head shaved "he would look a great deal like my brother Curly." Later, photos surfaced from some of DeRita's first appearances with the Stooges, and his head is not shaved. So I just wonder whose idea it actually was to shave DeRita's head and christen him "Curly-Joe." Or for that matter, just when that happened -- i.e. how long had he been with the Stooges at that point?
Just curious...
-
I believe it was Moe who coined him Curly-Joe, but I could be wrong. You might wanna wait for Brent or someone more knowledgeable to either back me up or correct me.
-
who actually coined the nickname "Curly-Joe" for Joe DeRita?
I doubt that DeRita proposed the idea... I can't see him asking to adopt the name/look of Moe's deceased brother. Moe was the final decision maker, but in my opinion, my money is on Norman Maurer proposing the idea, and convincing Moe to ask Joe to do it. It was a marketing decision, and that was Maurer's forte.
I don't know the timeline of DeRita's haircut. When they began touring in late summer 1958, he had his normal hairstyle. By the time they did the Holiday House gig in December he was shaving his head. The Stoogeum (http://stoogeum.com)'s ongoing public appearances project may have publicity material that can assign dates to DeRita's locks (or, lack of); maybe Gary can shed some light.

Newbie here....sort of.
I have roamed around ThreeStooges.net for years.
I have always felt that it's the best place on the net to gain knowledge of the boys.
I am 32 and have been a life long fan of the Stooges...
My Father would watch the Stooges with my Grandpa when my Dad was a kid...
I watched them with him when I was a kid and
It warms my heart to say that my 12 year old Daughter loves the Stooges MORE than Spongebob or iCarly.
I look foreward to being a long time member and talking Stooges with all of you....and like it or not-
It looks like this new Movie is going to create a lot of new Stooge fans.
One question I have just off the top of my head ....
The Song "My life My love My All" (Woman Haters)
Was that a real song or just written for the short?
-
The Song "My life My love My All" (Woman Haters)
Was that a real song or just written for the short?
From ThreeStooges.net's filmography entry for WOMAN HATERS (1934) (http://threestooges.net/filmography/episode/1)...
WOMAN HATERS was the 5th entry in the "Musical Novelties" short subject series, and all music in the short comes from the first four films. "My Life, My Love, My All" has new lyrics written for WOMAN HATERS by Archie Gottler, but the music was originally titled "At Last" in a 1933 release called UMPA, music and lyrics by Gottler, Sydney Mitchell and Con Conrad. Edward Eliscu also contributed to other tunes heard in WOMAN HATERS.
See The Three Stooges Journal # 86 (Summer 1998) (http://threestooges.net/journal/view/86) and # 87 (Fall 1998) (http://threestooges.net/journal/view/87) for detailed background of all the music titles, origins, and composers.

I have a question about the goofs section in the reviews of the shorts. Is one allowed to give a contrary opinion as to whether something is genuine goof? For example, I see where wearing overalls backward is listed as a goof when it appears to me to be merely part of the comedy, an illustration of "stoogeness." [Or is that "stooge-ositude?"] :)

I hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful, but I'm interested in the last known pictures or video of Curly before he died. I've seen the photos in Joan Howard's book, but it seems those are still a few years before he passed. Does anyone know if later photos or videos exist?

The last video footage of Curly that I know of is in "The Family Album" DVD....

I remember reading years ago [on the Stooges Usenet discussion board] a posting from someone who said he knew of the existence of pictures of Curly very late in life [when he was very sick] which have never been published. If they DO exist, I'd have mixed feelings about wanting to look at them; part of me would, and part of me wouldn't. In '82 when I bought the "Three Stooges Scrapbook" book, I can remember being slightly disturbed by the pic of Curly at Joan Howard's wedding [for those who haven't seen it, he's seated and is giving the camera a strange look, like he was confused or something]. That was the first photo I had seen of Curly post-1946 [believe it or not, back then I had absolutely no idea it was Curly on the train in HOLD THAT LION]. Later, when some further photos of Curly were published in subsequent books, I realized that he didn't really look as bad as he appeared in the wedding photo. I think the latest published photo of Curly is dated 1949, which would be just before he had the stroke that started his final decline.
Actually, I'm glad this topic was brought up, because I had been wondering about it ever since I read that post from long ago. Can any of the historians confirm that these photos exist?
-
I wonder if anything along these lines have ever been in the Three Stooges Journal?
-
Thanks Jake! I'll see if I can get my hands on the Family Album. I see Amazon has a VHS copy listed... Do you know if the DVD was ever released commercially?
I'm not sure why I have such a fascination with seeking material around Curly's decline. When I started really getting into the stooges as a kid, I think the biographies and pictures taught me a lot about life and death in general. Here you had a group of guys that you could literally see pictures of them as children, growing up, in their prime, having families of their own, and eventually passing on. I'm sure all of us on this forum have felt one or more of the stooges as being close to us, even if we have never met them.
I have particular interest in Curly. It intrigues me somehow to know more about his personal life, and how someone with so much going for him could go downhill the way he did at such a young age.

Thanks again guys! I did not realize the family album was contained within other Three Stooges collections. I actually already have it. Although brief, it's a very good documentary. The home movies make it a gem!
The photos of Curly in his latter years look to be the same or similar to the ones in Joan Howard's book. The brief clip during the end credits where Curly has his pants down is interesting. It provides a brief glimpse into the "inside humor" stuff the boys may have done when around each other. I wonder who was filming at that particular moment?

From what I recall (I haven't bought the book yet, just thumbed through it), audiences weren't responding favorably to the Stooges' new configuration with Joe DeRita and DeRita suggested he shave his head, though he said he would not imitate Curly. Then it was indeed Norman Maurer who suggested the name "Curly-Joe." (I thought Maurer wasn't their manager yet by then.) There also is some more stuff in there about the contracts signed during the period when Shemp first returned (initially as a "temporary" replacement for Curly) and different quotes from those found in the Amalgamated Morons book. I'll have to get this.
-
Actually, I'm glad this topic was brought up, because I had been wondering about it ever since I read that post from long ago. Can any of the historians confirm that these photos exist?
There is a photo of Curly holding his daughter Janie, and he is wearing a captain's hat (like Skipper on Giligan's Island). He is quite thin, but looks healthy and extremely happy! I love that picture...
-
I remember reading years ago [on the Stooges Usenet discussion board] a posting from someone who said he knew of the existence of pictures of Curly very late in life [when he was very sick] which have never been published. If they DO exist, I'd have mixed feelings about wanting to look at them; part of me would, and part of me wouldn't.
Well, I wonder if they could be any worse than the pic of Joe DeRita in his final days which appears in One Fine Stooge.
Or the death photos of Ted Healy, now that I think about it.
I share the sentiments about tending to view the Stooges as family, even though in reality they were actors who I never met. For me, a lot of that came from reading Moe's autobiography at a young age, where he talked about his youth and his brothers. In a way I felt like I knew them, even though I really didn't.
I guess at this point in time, stuff like that would be of historical interest. I bet there's all kinds of stuff no one's talked about "officially." A story I have read a couple times on the internet (but never in a book or documentary) about the events leading up to Larry's stroke comes to mind.

Thought I could come here and maybe someone would have a answer or could tell me where to find it. I purchased a box of 8mm movies and one of them was The 3 stooges in " All Hashed Up " There is no record of this ever being made. This movie is a silent film. As good as we could figure is that it was remade into "Hash for Cash" with sound. Anybody have any thoughts about this. Trying find info and if I can find a value for it. Thanks for your help and Shemp was the best stooge!!

In the late 1940s, toy company Excel released a hand-cranked, silent 16mm projector. It licensed some Columbia titles with the Stooges, Scrappy cartoons, etc., which were silent, cut-down, and retitled versions of the original films. Some of the films were also released in 8mm silent format.
I don't have a list of the Excel titles (w/ a Columbia "source" cross-reference) handy, but I'm guessing that "All Hashed Up" is an excerpt of BUSY BUDDIES (1944) (http://threestooges.net/filmography/episode/78) featuring the diner scenes.
An overview of the Excel projector and films was published in The Three Stooges Journal # 46 (Summer 1988) (http://threestooges.net/journal/view/46) and # 47 (Fall 1988) (http://threestooges.net/journal/view/47).

I have a question about something Moe said in a short. I can't think of the name of the short, and I apologize for that. He was referring to something and said it was, "Made from a little piece of steel." He gestured to show how small the piece was, and it seemed as though he was either quoting from or referring to a pop culture source. Does anyone know anything about this? Was it an advertising slogan from something such as a razor blade? I watch WCIU's "Stooge-A-Palooza," and Rich Koz, the host, can't nail it down, either.

That's it, BeAStooge, it's "Fifi Blows Her Top." Thank you! Now, can anyone tell me about Moe's statement, "Made from a little piece of steel?" Was it an advertising slogan, perhaps?

Wow, that's a good one! Unfortunately, I can't think of it. I bet you are right, that it is some advertising slogan or other pop-culture reference! That's what I enjoy about the Stooges, the pop-culture stuff. They were filled with sayings and song lyrics of that exact moment in time!
Unfortunately, if people don't remember what those things are, they get lost to later generations.

I have a question about Stooges music. In "Dutiful But Dumb," [1941] Curly sits inside a radio and "plays" music on the tubes, a harmonica, etc., trying to fool the soldiers who are looking for him. I *thought* the music was titled, "The Stooge March," but now I'm unsure. I just saw a Columbia comedy made in 1940 ("The Doctor Takes a Wife"), and that music was used in it. Does anyone happen to know when "The Stooge March" (if that *is* its name) was first used in a Stooges short? Or if I have the wrong music title, can anyone tell me the correct one? Thank you.

I think, Termites of 1938

Ah, thank you, Larrys#1 - - and you were so speedy, too!
Does anyone know the name of a particular movie in which Phil Van Zandt appeared? It was set during World War II, and he played one of a number of Nazi soldiers being held by the Allies. One of them was the officer in charge, but they were determined not to let the Allies know who it was. I seem to recall they were all in a bombed-out basement.
I got to see only that much of this movie, then something interrupted me. I'd like to catch it when it's shown again, but I can't remember which movie title to look for. I enjoy seeing PVZ, and I was guessing he was the officer (though logic tells me it was probably a bigger "name" who had that role).
Thank you.

That tune is actually entitled "Frederic March" and was composed by Howard Jackson and Raphael Penso for the 1936 Columbia movie PENNIES FROM HEAVEN starring Bing Crosby. There was a parade scene in the movie and my theory is that because Columbia hadn't had much of a music department up until that time (many Columbia films before that had no music scores at all aside from the main & end titles) they decided they wanted a march tune for the parade scene but without paying for the use of an established march from any of the classic composers. So they had staff composers Jackson and Penso come up with something they could use, not just for PENNIES FROM HEAVEN but from then on in any film where a march was called for - it was to be added to their stock music library. And I must say that in my opinon those two guys really came through! I know a lot of the marches by the famous composers such as Sousa, Pryor, Bagley, Herbert, etc. and I think "Frederic March" can stand up with the classics.
The title "Frederic March" obviously had to be a little private joke referring to the popular actor Fredric March, who probably never even was aware that a piece of music was named after him (because the kinds of incidental film music composed by staff writers like Jackson & Penso were not like hit songs written for musicals where a singer performs them, the titles of their tunes were unknown to the general movie-watching public). And because the titles of these incidental compositions were generally unknown outside the in-studio documentation level, staff composers occasionally would have their fun by naming tunes for co-workers or supervisors, knowing that the public would never know anyway.
As posted by Larry#1 the first Three Stooges short to use the march was TERMITES OF 1938. It was used in six more Stooges shorts through 1953.
As you noted, it was also heard in the 1940 Columbia movie THE DOCTOR TAKES A WIFE. Over many years I have been logging all film appearances of the march and so far I have 30 different Columbia films listed in which we can march along with Frederic. The final (newest) film I have found it in is from 1959. (I can list them all if anyone is interested!)
-
My goodness, Rich Finegan, you excelled in answering this question on the Fredric March! Thank you. I am interested in reading your list of all the movies in which this music was used. Although I knew about the in-house composers, I never knew the in-depth information you provided. I'm sure that march was named after the actor, Fredric March, as you said. The temptation would have been too great to resist!
Does your list of films include those in which this piece was used at a tempo and/or arrangement other than a march? Sometimes changing the tempo for example, fools me, but sometimes not. I noticed how often old folk hymns were used in this way as incidental music on "The Beverly Hillbillies," for example, including as a character's theme music for an episode or two.
Now, to open a different can of worms ("woims") - - can anyone direct me to a discussion of a single-word line in "We Want Our Mummy?" It's where Curly says, "Smote!"

From what I've heard the tune always seems to be played as a march, in fact the same recording is often re-used. The one in the Stooges' short DUTIFUL BUT DUMB is probably the most unique version I've heard (as for the way it's played).

Can anyone think of any I missed?

It's also a handy tune to play in the event you need to calm down a werewolf!
-
Yes, Mark the Shark, especially if you have a "boogie-woogie box" handy. :)
Rich Finegan, thank you for that list. It's obvious you put some time in on that! I never saw most of those films on the list; no wonder I didn't know that catchy little tune had such wide use.
Are there other pieces of music for which you have lists where they're used?
Now my only problem is that I can't get it out of my head!
-
...I never saw most of those films on the list; no wonder I didn't know that catchy little tune had such wide use.

You must not have been receiving the Three Stooges Journals, the official publication of The Three Stooges Fan Club. Over several years I wrote articles in The Journal identifying every piece of music used in the Stooges shorts from 1934 through 1959, then covered the features through 1965. I listed the titles of the tunes, the writers, the sources (if they came from earlier films, etc.), and listed all the other non-Stooges films each tune was also used (just like the list I posted above for "Frederic March").
If there are any particular pieces of music you'd like to know more about, I can give you the info here.
-
I'm a relative newcomer to the journal, having subscribed for a little over a year (or so; I can't recall when I began subscribing). Funny you mention the journal because I was just wondering if the current [winter] issue came out. I have an issue with information on music, but I can't put my hands on it just now. My housemate also loves the Stooges, and may have some of the issues. Among the things I would do if I suddenly inherited a fortune would be to inquire about purchasing *all* back issues of the Stooges journal. I wish I'd known aboutthe journal when it began.
There is some background music I'd like to know about. It's heard when the Stooges are at posh parties; I think it's used in "Hoi Polloi." I heard it in another movie, made in the early '30s, when it was used to set the tone for a posh party in a mansion. It was a serious movie - - forget the title - - but I laughed when I heard that music. I'm sorry to be vague. I'm sure there isn't enough information here for you to know what I mean.

The Winter 2012 issue already came out. Subscribers received their copies in mid-December 2012. The next issue should arrive in mid-March 2013.
My articles covering the music in the Stooges films started with complete coverage of the 1934 short WOMAN HATERS in issue 86 (Summer 1998).
Then from issue 87 through 98 I covered all the music used in all the Stooges' Columbia shorts through 1959.
In issue 99 I told the complete story of the song "You'll Never Know" (What Tears Are...)
Then from issue 100 through 108 I covered the Stooges' feature films (1959 - 1965).
In issue 116 (Winter 2005) I revealed the true title, composer and story behind the song popularly known as "Swingin' the Alphabet".
I kept hearing from people with music questions who had never seen my original music articles so I decided to do updates and summarize the original series. I did that from issues 136 through 140.

You're probably thinking of the tune "Jealousy" (sometimes given as "Jalousy" or "Jalousie") composed by Louis Silvers. It is also used as the fashion show music in the 1936 Stooges short SLIPPERY SILKS. The feature you recall hearing it in was probably BROADWAY BILL (1934).
Louis Silvers was Musical Director at Columbia in the mid-1930's and was responsible for much of the music heard in Columbia feaures and shorts during that time. He had just spent about a year at MGM, a few years at Warner Bros. before that, and after leaving Columbia around 1937 took over musical direction at 20th Century-Fox, where he worked on many of their top productions.
He's the guy who had the talent and imagination to turn the old standard "Listen to the Mockingbird" into the unique and wonderful Three Stooges theme music used between 1935 and 1938.
Here is a listing of all the other Columbia films in which I have found the tune "Jealousy":
BROADWAY BILL (12-27-34) - feature.
ONE TOO MANY (12-28-34) - short.
THE BEST MAN WINS (1-15-35) - feature.
HOI POLLOI (8-29-35) - Three Stooges short.
A FEATHER IN HER HAT (10-17-35) - feature.
THE LONE WOLF RETURNS (Trailer only) (12-31-35).
THE FINAL HOUR (7-7-36) - feature.
THEY MET IN A TAXI (9-1-36) - feature.
SLIPPERY SILKS (12-27-36) - Three Stooges short.

Here's a quick thank you, Rich Finegan, for letting me know about the Stooges Journal's winter issue. I do subscribe, but I never received that issue. I'll have to find an old issue so I can contact the right person to find out what to do next. Either it was lost in the mail or it was found in the mail (by a Stooges fan who didn't deliver it to me!).
Also, here is a quick thank you for your music information. I'll have more time later to thank you properly.

Got a question. Why exactly is "The Yokes On Me" banned from being shown on TV? Never understood why. What makes it worse than any of the other WWII short they made?
And another thing.... this is not a stooge question or anything, but could the administrators of this site make the verification image easier to make out? I'm having a bit of a hard time making out the image and sometimes can't post because of it. Many thanks.
-
Why exactly is "The Yokes On Me" banned from being shown on TV?
It's not banned, and it never was.
The decision of a few individual stations to not show it over the years, is due to feelings and opinions related to the U.S. government's illegal internment of American citizens of Asian descent from 1942 - 1944. It is explained on this webite's filmography page for THE YOKE'S ON ME (http://threestooges.net/filmography/episode/79).

The verification requirement will end completely after 10 posts. I hate those things, too, and nothing pisses me off more than trying to post a comment somewhere and having to re-enter CAPTCHA codes over and over again. If it wasn't for the fact that we've had major issues with spammers in the past I'd get rid of it altogether.
Since the other mods that I added to the forum seem to have the spammer problem largely under control, I decided to step the CAPTCHA images down to Medium for now, so hopefully you'll have less difficulty reading them now. I'll leave the setting there unless we start having problems again.
-
Thank you, Dunrobin and Shemps#1, for your help with this matter. It is very much appreciated.

FNG here! (Frickin New Guy) Been a collector for a while and of course have all the short's and from my research all of the motion pictures with one version of the trio or another, recently acquiring "Turn back the clock".

From LAFF HOUR (http://threestooges.net/filmography/episode/428)'s filmography page...
The only LAFF HOUR film footage created by Columbia was a special title leader, and a trailer.
There never was a copy or a print of the "program." A theater decided to book LAFF HOUR... Columbia would send them a pressbook and a trailer. For the "program," it'd receive a LAFF HOUR title leader plus three or four short subjects.
As far as I know, neither the trailer or title leader have turned up in anyone's library. Or if they have, whoever has 'em hasn't spoken up.

Thanks so much!

Three Stooges Scrapbook is the best book to get started with. Gives you background on all the stooges and their careers. The Scrapbook doesnt give a lot of details on the individual Columbia shorts though, for that you can go with The Complete Three Stooges. This book goes in depth on each of the 190 shorts and gives perspective on each one. Id say start with the Scrapbook and for more detail on the shorts go with the Complete.

I could have sworn that I once saw an episode, involving a magic act or something, where I heard "mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho," which is where I thought Pee Wee Herman got it. But I can't find any reference, so I'm wondering if I imagined it.

I have a question about the release date for Stop! Look! and Laugh!. In the book The Complete Three Stooges by Jon Solomon the release date is given as February 8, 1961, however on the Filmography here, in the newest edition of The Three Stooges Scrapbook. and even Wikipedia give the release date as July 1, 1960, plus the back of the DVD case for it says it came out in 1960.
So, I'm guessing that the release date given in The Complete Three Stooges is just an error that went uncorrected?
-
Good Evening. I am new to the board, but not new to the Stooges. I have watched all the Curly shorts and almost all of the Shemp shorts numerous times. My newbie question is "Are you married or happy?" I look forward to participating on the board. It should be a [pie] blast.
-
Hey! I'm new to this board as well. I had no idea this existed. I actually found it while searching for a Stooges t-shirt. In fact, you guys might be able to help me out. I'm not too keen on the Stooge t-shirts that are on the market. They are really kinda trashy and the designs are pretty bad. I had seen someone on the street wearing a really cool Stooge t-shirt that was reddish and had a simple drawing of the stooges that was very well-done. I didn't ask where he had bought it back then. But I've been searching for a while. Anyhow, I did find a couple of good ones on an artist community called Red Bubble. Needless to say, I am purchasing them. BUT... they don't have a Curly one (believe it or not). They had 1 each for Shemp and Joe. I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!

Can anyone help me find a link for a Curly t-shirt that is similar to these???
Looking forward to reading the boards and posting. I do have my complete dvd collection. Never thought I'd see the day! Still making my way through the solo shorts. Amazing that these finally got an official release. I had thought they were lost forever.
Thanks for making this site and message board! A 'nyuk-nyuk-nyuk' and 'slap' to all the Stooge fans.

Sorry man, can't help you....but a Joe Besser t shirt exists? Not that I ever bothered to research the topic, but man, that link boggles the mind. Bootleg, official, whatever, I never even contemplated the idea of a Besser shirt.
Welcome to the board.

I'm at a loss for words. I mean the market for Shemp merch is niche as it is...would that make a Besser t-shirt market "Super Niche"? You'd have to...shit, who really wants a Joe Besser shirt? I wonder how long it will take for the Benjamins to shut this down, they actually have a case here.
-
Thanks for the welcome, guys!
So I ended up ordering them both and I'm so glad I did. I received a nice message from the artist who drew the pictures for both the Joe and Shemp t-shirts. He said RedBubble received a complaint and he had to take them both down. And then he congratulated me on owning the only ones that sold!!!!! So apparently I own 2 one-of-a-king bootleg Stooge tees. I'm ecstatic!!!
LOL!!! [3stooges]

Hi, everybody. I don't know if this is the right place or not but--in the production notes for "They Stooge to Conga" it says:
"Title Origin: Possibly a parody of She Stoops to Conquer, an early (1939) BBC TV series "
Actually, it's much more likely that the title is a parody of the well-known 1773 play "She Stoops to Conquer" by Irish author Oliver Goldsmith. I still remember reading it in high school English class.

Hello,
Thanks for the opportunity to ask this here.
I've been trying to recall the name of one of the shorts so I can hopefully watch it online. It was one of the ones they did where the boys were involved in horse racing. One of the gags in this one is very quick; I first saw when I was a kid but have never forgotten it. Curly is riding a horse out of a stall backwards and knocks a chunk of wood out of the overhead doorframe. Larry, walking behind, gazes up at the missing chunk with a look of pure awe or terror. It was hilarious to see and I'd like to see it again. I find a lot of the more seeming throwaway gags are the best, especially ones with Larry. Anyway, thanks very much for any help, I know you all will know the one I'm looking for.

I am looking for the title of an episode that had the stooges attending a dinner that an ambassador or duke also attended - some kind of ruler. The duke was new to the customs of the west so thought that he would follow the habits of the stooges in order to use proper etiquette...TOTALLY funny!

Termites of 1938

Hi: first-time poster here.
I don't have a question about the Stooges or shorts themselves, but I have a couple questions about the filmographies. (The main board for this sort of thing hasn't had a reply in two years, so I'm hesitant to post there.)
For the Production Notes for Flat Foot Stooges (http://www.threestooges.net/filmography/episode/31) (1938), the shooting dates are listed as From: 1937-10-25 To: 1937-10-28. Was this intended to say 1938?
Also, ID question: Is that Geneva Mitchell in Pop Goes the Easel (1935)? (http://threestooges.net/albums/cast/Geneva%20Mitchell%203.jpg) I have a screenshot pre-clay smattering (but I apparently and unfortunately can't attach it) - it doesn't really look like her to me.

I just checked, and the database does say 1938 for the shooting dates, not 1937.
As far as Geneva Mitchell, wouldn't surprise me considering the timeframe. I'll study the picture more in a bit.

Huh! Must've been a fresh new fix! It said 1937 when I checked earlier today.
Thanks anyway!

You're welcome.
By the way, did Geneva Mitchell get added today as well, because yes, that's her according to the database.
http://www.threestooges.net/cast/actor/59
I never knew it though, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. She's one of those shooting stars who didn't last long with the Stooges or on this Earth in general. A lot of those, sadly.

Indeed. Gone too soon.
And also: the Geneva thing has been on there for a while; as far back as April/May (I tried bringing this to attention on Nitrateville (http://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13894&start=90#p130981) and in a message to the Lost Stooge Players blog, but neither of those really got anywhere, it would appear).
I personally don't think it's her (note that I said I didn't think so at the end of my initial message); there's a passing resemblance, I guess, but in the end, it doesn't look like her to me. Again, I took a screenshot pre-clay hit, but apparently, I can't attach it (I dunno if it's because I'm a new, fresh-faced poster around here and there are certain rules about that - similar to how we can't start new topics until after 15 posts).
EDIT: I now realize how my original post could've been construed as me identifying her. My bad.

Hello. I am looking for a picture of Emil Sitka.
It was printed in an old three stooges soft cover book.
It's a head shot, maybe a professional publicity picture.
Emil has a confused look on his face.
I think it might be the funniest picture ever taken of a human face.
That's all the info I have.
Can anyone fill me in with so little information?
Would there be somewhere online to purchase official old pictures like this one?
Thanks,
Ron..... the cheeb

I am 50 and saw a hilarious bit in a Stooges short a long time ago. I've spent hours searching for it in vain and now I've found your site of experts who I'm hoping can help me. The short in question is the boys are in the army/cavalry or something like that. They are out in the field and trying to set up a huge canvas tent in a snowstorm but the snow causes the tent to bow down almost to the floor. They're getting frustrated with it so (I believe this is what happened) Moe tells Curly to prop it up, Curly grabs a big tent pole and aas he's pushing it up the tent tears and buries them all in snow!!! Can anyone tell me which one that is or even just any clues?? Thank you in advance for your help!!
-
Unless my memory is already failing me, the only short with such an event would be "Rockin' Thru the Rockies", in which the Stooges aren't in the military but instead are part of a traveling theater troupe that gets lost in the middle of a forest on their way to their next engagement. They have to take shelter in the fake cabin they carry around for "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and the roof ends up collapsing after a snowstorm and an attempt by Curly to prop up the roof with a large piece of wood.
-
Yep, that's it!! Thanks so much!! Found it on Youtube, but only the last 8 minutes. The only full version I see on there is posted by Sony and it's got that kinda smoked out circular view screen on it. Have a great week!!
-
Glad to help! It's a short that's particularly near and dear to my heart, actually. When I was student teaching in a 6th grade classroom, finishing my teaching degree, I had to teach Language Arts, and one of the stories we read involved an expedition to Antarctica that mostly survived despite being trapped there for a very long time. I ended up showing the class "Rockin' Thru The Rockies" at the end of that week, as a compare/contrast with the story, and not only did it work fabulously, but it also left many of the kids insisting that I bring in more of the Stooges whenever I could :)

Hello everyone. I wanted to create a new thread for this question but the forum rules don't allow me to do so yet. Perhaps I can ask this here.
This is a question for Stooge filmography experts, and one that I have been wondering about for a long time. In the as yet officially unreleased film Myrt and Marge, did Donna Damerel (Marge) perform the entire dancing act (including the various flips, backflips, etc.) that start at around the 25:31 mark (in my copy of the film, at least), or was that performed by someone else (stunt performer or dancer)? It looks like it is her but I just want to be sure, since my copy's image quality is not great and I could find little information about Donna Damerel in general.
I am doing some research on vaudeville performances in the '20 and '30 and any help would be immensely appreciated.

Hello and welcome, Alex 1. I am probably the least knowledgeable moron in Moronika, so I can't answer your question. However, I often visit a site which may help you find answer. It's www.nitrateville.com. There's a section for silent movies at the top, and the section for talkies is directly below that. There are other sections, too, as you'll see. Even if they can't help you, you'll see it's a fascinating site for lovers of old-time cinema.

Grazie, Signor Spumoni. I will go ahead and ask over there as I am really desperate for an answer to this question. I wish I could post in the main discussion board here, as there might be someone knowledgeable enough to answer but the 10 post requirement prevents me from doing it. Perhaps a moderator can help., in any way to spread my word.

This fellow is very knowledgeable about old-time cinema and about Vaudeville. In fact, he wrote a book about V'ville, which he pitches at the end of this post on Donna Damerel. I visit this blog because I am a fan of old-time cinema and also V'ville. You might find his book in the library, but - - if I were you - - I'd try posting a comment on his blog and asking him. Caution: he says he doesn't always answer posts because his blog is for the purpose of promoting his own works.

Thank you for putting in the time to help. I think that this film is too obscure for anyone to know anything I'm afraid.

I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question. You already know how it was with movie records, sometimes - - not everyone was credited for the work he did, even skilled work such as dancing for an actress. So maybe there is no record of who performed that dance in "Myrt and Marge." I was surprised, when reading cast lists of old movies, to see that names were sometimes omitted or that wrong names were sometimes included. I would have guessed that flawless records were kept - - but I'd have been wrong.
I was hoping that Nitrateville was going to work out for you. There must be other blogs and fan sites. Perhaps there's a yahoo group which would know. The only one I'm aware of is called Studio Backlots, and they concentrate on the studio lots and sets.
Good luck, Alex 1. I hope you can find the answer, or find a way to write about it so that it's obvious that you tried.
-
Indeed, not crediting all actors was common back than and it is common now, especially for minor parts. There are a few actors that were not credited in Myrt and Marge, and I noticed that during my first viewing. Nevertheless, I am not saying that the actress herself did not perform in the scene. I am merely trying to confirm, so I'll keep looking. I am trying to get in touch with other researchers in academia who might know anything. Research can be tremendously frustrating at times, especially when faced with dead-ends. Thank you for your time.

I was just watching "Ants in the Pantry". Moe has a line - "You have a head like Napoleon". That line or variants are used in other shorts.
Is there some significance to that I'm missing? When Moe delivers the line it seems "showcased", like it's expected to get a big laugh. Was there some reason it would have been funnier at that time? When I hear it, I feel like I'm missing something.

A Napoleon is a creamy desert made out of puff pastry. It's not so popular stateside anymore, but it used to be a popular dessert food. There are variants in most every European country.

Hi, guys. I'm fairly young and new to the Three Stooges... but from what I've seen I love them! With the holidays coming up, do you happen to know if there are any Thanksgiving or Christmas related shorts / episodes? I was interested in football, too, but I've seen Three Little Pigskins already. I'm assuming there's no others. Anyways, please let me know. Thanks!

I respect Paul Pain's interpretation of this joke. I never thought of the dessert connection, and it's interesting.
I don't remember exactly how the joke in this short goes, but I thought it seemed similar to other jokes which are usually made by Moe. He says, "You have a head like Napoleon." Larry (or Curly, etc.) says, "I thought Napoleon was dead." Moe says, "I know it." But if this joke finishes with just the line, "You have a head like Napoleon," then Paul Pain's idea seems a better fit.

The Dean at my University is a huge Stooges fan. He also comes from Chicago. I mentioned to him that Gary Deeb had written an article on Curly Howard for one of the Chicago newspapers back in the 1980s. I believe that the article appeared in one of the Three Stooges Journals as well. Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the article? I like to keep my Dean happy.

Greetings Team Stooge!
I remember an episode in which Moe called a drink an Eenaw Frappini, or something that sounded like that. He then said "I had 6 of these once. Hmmmmm Hmmmmm!"
Does anyone know the correct name and the episode in which he said that? Is it a real libation?
Many thanks. First time here, but I'll be back.

Thanks Paul. That's it! Funny how memory shifts things around a bit. I don't remember the frappe later on. Looking forward to checking out more of this site!

There are at least two shorts I can think of where two of the Stooges wore a horse costume - Horsing Around (1957) and Three Little Twirps (1943).
I know they have dressed up as a Bull (Curly is the bull fighter) and as a Cow (Curly in milking contest) but didn't remember about the horse. Will look for that. Perhaps there are still a few that I haven't seen yet.

I'll keep my eye on this and act appropriately. I agree the post itself is fine, just the sig wasn't. Paul Payne linked to other sites where he did the same thing, I can't find any other posts here. So yeah, FavoriteIsCurley, you're welcome to post, just please no business advertising.

I am trying to find the name of an old Stooges film that I just thought was hysterical due to one particular short sequence.
They were at a table, maybe in a nightclub....and Bud said something like, "Let's say, just for the heck of it, that you went over there to that (wall?) and (did something ridiculous like wreck something, I forgot).
Lou says "OK...."
Bud suddenly says..."Why would you want to go over and do something like that?"
Lou is confused and says something like "I didn't say I wanted to do that" and it just goes on.
I remember thinking what an odd bit of comedy it was and laughed myself silly. I really think Bud was truly the funny guy on this team. he was so strange sometimes!
So anyone remember what this MIGHT have been in?
Thanks so much

I can't say I know, but it's definitely an Abbott and Costello film, not Stooges.
Abbott and Costello made so many features, and while I know some of their films better than others, the routines are more memorable than the films to me in some cases. This routine is not ringing a bell, though.
Here's a list of their films. If you click on them, routines are listed for each film. Maybe this will help.

I believe the movie that you are thinking of is THE NOOSE HANGS HIGH. Late in the film, they go to a place called the Copper Club and while sitting at a table, a sequence similar to the one that you described occurs in which Abbott asks Costello about boring a hole in a wall.
-
Oh that's fantastic, that's exactly what I remember, something about a hole in the wall! Thanks so much!
OK I do have a Stooges one after all, what was the funny sequence where some big native type character kept saying
"I KILL YOU" to them, and finally he says it and one of them throws something right into his mouth...."I KILL (WHAP)!
I used to love that as a kid, just came to me..;)
Thanks a million!

That is from MALICE IN THE PALACE. It's near the end, after they've acquired the diamond and the guard spots them. Shemp then uses his sword to throw food at him and throws a banana into his mouth.

Ah ha! Wow this is my night. Thank you!
I even found "The Noose Hangs High" on YouTube and found the scene!
Gotta go look for this one now...
Thanks a million!

Hi, I was recently searching on the web for anything interesting that was stooge-related when I found a video of rare footage with a Shemp Howard cameo from the Indiana State Library. The description states the the film was called "30th BANQUET OF INDIANA SOCIETY OF CHICAGO" but when I looked the film up on ThreeStooges.net, there was a result, but it says that it is a rare appearance with Moe Howard. Weird. Maybe there was some kind of mistake. If you want to watch the video to see for yourself, This is the link:
Hopefully you can find out what this is.

Can anybody provide some additional details about these two films in the database?
Screen Snapshots Series 13 # 5
Screen Snapshots Series 22 # 8
The first one lists Chico Marx as a cast member, and the second lists the Marx Brothers and the Ritz Brothers as well as the Stooges. This seems pretty notable. Is it known if they're in any scenes with the other brothers?
SCREEN SNAPSHOTS were paparazzi one-reelers distributed by Columbia 1924 - 1958, showing celebs at work and play around Hollywood. The Stooges and brothers Marx & Ritz shared no footage.

I've recently been collecting DVDs of the "Ted Healy & His Stooges" era and I have almost complete the collection (I have 16 films on 11 DVDs). There are still 4 films that remain though. Those are...
Fox Movietone Newsreel (1929)
Screen Snapshots Series 13 # 5 (1933)
Movietone News (1933)
Dancing Lady (1933)
I will eventually get Dancing Lady since it is available on amazon, and there are a few clips from Fox Movietone Newsreel floating around on the internet that I can probably just burn onto a DVD. What I am asking for is a link that will get me a copy of the remaining 2 films and maybe a longer, uncut version of Fox Movietone Newsreel. Also if any of you have copies of them on DVD, I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for the DVDs. Thanks. -Smokey Moe (John)

Hi, group!
I've been a viewer and sometime visitor to the ThreeStooges.net site and this forum for some time, first time poster. It should be mentioned that I'm a younger fan of the Boys, 16 years of age. T'was only a few months ago when I started watching their comedies on AMC and IFC, and boy! was I hooked. (By the way, my first Stooge short was Half-Wit's Holiday, Curly's last. Why I didn't start with Uncivil Warriors or You Natzy Spy instead of a sick Curly I'll never know (could be worse, I could've started with one of the Joe Palma Four!), but my favorite Curly would be A-Ducking They Did Go, with honorable mentions being Gents Without Cents, Calling All Curs and Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise. My fave Shemp would be Baby Sitters' Jitters, although I remember liking Monkey's Uncle a bit. Can't comment on the Joes or the features with Curly Joe, never seen them (although I've seen a number of those wretched 1965 cartoons...uggh!)
If you're wondering what in Vulgaria my username means, it's an acronym for "Get Out of Town by Sundown Brown", a recurring foil to the Boys in a number of those aforementioned New Three Stooges cartoons, often playing their boss for some reason. Confession about those cartoons: I actually find them watchable. Sure, the jokes are corny and abysmal, but the few things that keep me coming back to them are the wonderful stock music, plus the fact that Our Boys provided the voices for their own animated counterparts. It could've been worse, though: Cambria could've ended up going cartoons with the Hakins/Wolf/Garner threesome (not saying that could've happened, but...).
Outside of the Boys, my other likes include animation, classic TV (I especially love me some ALF, Beaver, All in the Family, and Diff'rent Strokes), comics (especially Archies, Harveys, and the Duck comics of Carl Barks) and music.
Anyway, onto my questions:
1. Do the deleted scenes from So Long, Mr. Chumps, Three Little Pigskins, and Heavenly Daze, plus from the MGM Healy-era Plane Nuts exist anywhere? I know publicity photos from the scenes were taken (images can be seen in Scrapbook and Robert Kurson's Encyclopedia), but I'd love to know if footage from these scenes are known to exist anywhere (in archives, etc.).
2. Who did the voices on Cambria's New Three Stooges cartoons, besides Our Boys (just the cartoons, not the live-action wraparounds)? I know Larry did opening narration in "Don't Misbehave Indian Brave", and Margaret Kerry can be heard supplying various female voices in a number of cartoons. Apparently that grumbly-voiced guy who did Tim Bear and Sundown Brown, plus various incidentals is Hal Smith according to one of the posters here, but I'm not sure where that info came from, since I can't seem to find his name in the entry for the 'toons in Scrapbook. I also want to say Emil Sitka did some voices as well, but not positive.
3. What's everyone's thoughts on The New Three Stooges? See above for mine.
Don't expect me to be posting much here, I won't likely be here often.
Incidentally, I've noticed that today's Dudley Dickerson's birthday. So happy birthday to one of Stoogedom's favorite supporting players!

Unfortunately, I can’t help with your first question since I don’t know a lot about archives and whether or not they feature any Stooge films. However, I’ll try as best as possible to help with your question on The New Three Stooges.
-Paul Frees did voices for the pilot, “That Little Old Bombmaker” (you can tell because one of the voices sounds like Boris Badenov from Rocky and Bullwinkle).
-Margaret Kerry did the female voices as well as the voices for children whenever they appeared.
-Hal Smith did most of the adult male voices (he and Kerry were both regulars at Cambria, appearing in their other shows like Clutch Cargo and Space Angel, so it was only natural that they’d continue appearing in The New Three Stooges).
-The Stooges occasionally did other voices (notably Moe as Orville Wright in “A Flycicle Built For Two”).
-Threestooges.net credits an actor named Johnny Coons for appearing as well. Unfortunately, I don’t know a whole lot about this actor, but he did do voice work in other cartoons, so it’s possible he could have appeared on this show.
-Sitka may have appeared in the cartoons, but I can’t recall any specific voices he did. He did claim that Cambria would sometimes hire him to do voice work if they needed a specific voice that he happened to be able to do, but he wasn’t used as frequently as Smith or Kerry and he seemed to be referring to Clutch Cargo when he made this claim, not The New Three Stooges. Again, he could’ve done some voices, but I don’t recall any specific examples.
Like you, I’m one of the younger fans of the Stooges and I was actually introduced to them through the cartoon series. I do have some fond memories of them, but even back then, I was more fond of the live-action bits than the cartoon bits. Still, the cartoons had some fun moments, particularly the voice work, and, considering that most Cambria cartoons used the Synchro-Vox process (shudders), this could have been a lot worse.

Welcome to the board! I also don't know the answer to the cutting room floor stuff, which I'd love to see (add Curly in Malice In the Palace to the list), but I highly doubt Columbia held onto that stuff. A cheap studio....and the shorts department, no less, holding onto to outtakes decades before DVD extras were a thought is unlikely, but I could be wrong.
I'll be 40 in less than a month, so I could be your Dad....where's my AARP subscription? Anyway, I used to watch Alf when it was new, I had to have been in 3rd of 4th grade and had to beg my Mom to let me stay up late enough to watch it. Also, you mention music, I gotta ask, what type(s) and artists. I'm a dinosaur and a serious music guy, so I'm curious as to your tastes and if teens even care about music that much these days besides yourself.

Thanks for the voice info, Sam. Can't believe I forgot about Paul Frees when I typed my initial post, he's always a delight to hear. By the way, if the animation was consistent with the drawing style seen on "Bombmaker" (who did that? Looks like the Jay Ward studio's doing, but "Bombmaker" is not listed in the filmography printed in The Moose That Roared, the best book on that studio one can ever hope to read.), the show would've been a lot of fun animation-wise. Also, I had no idea that was Moe! Kinda cool that the Boys occasionally supplied incidental voices (according to Scrapbook, this also happened on one of their kiddie records, with Moe voicing an umpire!).
I've seen Coons' name on the site's entry actually, but I'm not familiar with his voice, so I'm not going to guess what he did on the show. Incidentally, I've got a gut feeling Marty Marvelous in "That Was the Wreck That Was" is a Sitka voice. Just conjecture on my part, though.

Awwww, too bad...Curly's cameo inPalace sounds really cool (I should know, I've seen his cameo in Hold That Lion). I'd really like to see the one for Chumps the most, that double-talk scene sounds pretty funny.
My favorite musical artists would be the Beatles, Queen, Elton John, and anything instrumental. Don't really go for a lot of those newer artists (more like talentless hacks) most young people around my age are into, like Drake or One Direction, I'm mostly an older pop/rock guy. Can't say I care for those so-called "masterpieces" of classical music, although I like a few (mostly because I've heard them on classic cartoons) that I've heard.
Also, nice to see another ALF fan. If you're interested, my favorite episodes would probably be the two-parter where ALF hosts the Tonight Show and that one where he writes a silent movie.

Thanks for the voice info, Sam. Can't believe I forgot about Paul Frees when I typed my initial post, he's always a delight to hear. By the way, if the animation was consistent with the drawing style seen on "Bombmaker" (who did that? Looks like the Jay Ward studio's doing, but "Bombmaker" is not listed in the filmography printed in The Moose That Roared, the best book on that studio one can ever hope to read.), the show would've been a lot of fun animation-wise. Also, I had no idea that was Moe! Kinda cool that the Boys occasionally supplied incidental voices (according to Scrapbook, this also happened on one of their kiddie records, with Moe voicing an umpire!).
I've seen Coons' name on the site's entry actually, but I'm not familiar with his voice, so I'm not going to guess what he did on the show. Incidentally, I've got a gut feeling Marty Marvelous in "That Was the Wreck That Was" is a Sitka voice. Just conjecture on my part, though.
Now that you mention it, the animation in the first episode looks very much like the Ward studio's style, and that would also explain Frees's involvement. Sure enough, looking at the threestooges.net page, they say that it was outsourced to Ward. I agree that The Moose That Roared is the definitive book on the work of the Ward studio, but it is also almost 20 years old and documentation could have shown up since then proving their involvement.
Coincidentally, the three musical acts you mentioned happen to be my favorites too (just saw Elton live last month for his farewell tour).
I also noticed in your initial post you mentioned that you're a fan of the Duck comics. I'm curious, have you seen either of the DuckTales cartoon series, and if so, what are your thoughts on them?

The Beatles I love, been a fan since the Anthology series came out in the mid 90's. Love the whole catalog, though "The White Album" is my favorite. My Mom saw The Beatles in Shea Stadium in '65 and '66 and I saw Paul McCartney with her and my pops exactly 45 years to the day later from the '65 show in Philadelphia.
Queen I got into shortly after Freddie died. Remember watching the AIDS benefit tribute concert on MTV when it aired and I bought INNUENDO when it was a fairly new release. Album wise I like the first four the most with QUEEN II being my absolute favorite, but song wise I like songs from all eras, with later songs "Who Wants to Live Forever," "The Show Must Go On," and "These Are the Days of Our Lives" being among my favorites. I did see the BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY movie last weekend and enjoyed it....though the chronology of some events was wrong and (spoiler alert) them getting on Freddie's case for releasing solo material is crap because in real life, Roger Taylor and Brian May did outside projects before Freddie....yet Freddie put the band on hold doing solo albums? Still a good movie.
Elton I like but wouldn't call myself more than a casual fan.

I've been a viewer and sometime visitor to the ThreeStooges.net site and this forum for some time, first time poster. It should be mentioned that I'm a younger fan of the Boys, 16 years of age.
GOTBSB: How wonderful to read your posting and welcome a prime-of-life Stooges fan to this site! Reading that you're 16 years of age makes me very nostalgic - first, because it's been 45 years since I was 16 - and second, because 16 was my age when I tracked down and met Moe, Larry, and the Joes. That was definitely a highlight of my life that has stuck with me over the past four and a half decades.
How wonderful, too, to hear that you're a fan of Beaver, All in the Family, The Beatles, and Elton John - I can relate, as I grew up with all of them and still feel the impact of their contributions. Bravo to you for being so discerning!
Just for fun, I've included a link below for a 5 minute movie I took of Elton John during a 1976 concert at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA. Note that this was captured on silent 8mm B&W film, developed in my basement, and then digitally supplemented with an Elton John song four decades later. As you probably know, home video (with sound) didn't become commercially available until the early 1980s, so silent films were the norm in the 1970s. The song I added to the footage was the one Elton used to open the concert, so I thought it was fitting to use that one, regardless of the fact that it was one of his less popular and more forgotten compositions.
Hope you'll post more in the future - it's awfully refreshing to hear from young Stooges fans, particularly those under the age of twenty like you - a true rarity these days!

Thanks for sharing, hiramhorwitz. Always nice to see concert footage from Elton’s classic period. Interesting that he opened with “Grow Some Funk of Your Own.” As I understand, it was fairly successful back then, but today it isn’t usually considered among his greatest hits.
Interestingly enough, it looks like Elton is playing guitar about 3 and a half minutes in. Do you remember what song that was for, and if he played it for the entire song?
-

Sam - yes, the song was Love Song from the Tumbleweed Connection album. As you probably know, Love Song was written by Lesley Duncan. I'm not 100% certain, but I think that Duncan was the other acoustic guitarist joining Elton on stage and providing backing vocals for the song (the one adjacent to him in the movie clip). As far as I recall, Elton played his guitar for the duration of the song. Although Elton was much more of a sensation in 1976 then now, I believe his popularity had already begun to decline by then. Based on my recollections, it seems that Elton's peak occurred sometime in 1974. I was lucky enough to attend his concerts both in 1974 and 1976, and in my opinion, the crowd enthusiasm in 1974 was an order of magnitude higher than it was in 1976. Thanks for your interest and questions!

If you're referring to the original 1987 series, I've seen bits and pieces of it, but never a complete episode. If you're referring to the 2017 reboot, it's really excellent. How a reboot should be.

Oh- and another thing:
There's this pretty funny photo reprinted in Scrapbook that has intrigued me lately. It's at the end of the "Stooges on Records" chapter, and depicts the Stooges trying out as a new rock group, with Larry playing an electric guitar like a violin! All I know about it is that it's gotta be from the mid-to-late 60s, since Curly-Joe's in the photo, and other than that, nothing. A thought has been buzzing through my head lately that it might be from a wraparound from the New Three Stooges cartoons that was never aired, but that's likely not the case. Anyone know the origin of that image?

I believe that shot was one of a series of photos taken in 1966 by the Fender Corporation for the purpose of promoting their guitars. Attached below is a slightly different pose taken during the same photo session. My apologies for the very small file size - that's the only version of this photo I could find this morning.

Agreed. The 2017 version is fantastic and, in my opinion, better than the original (although I still think Alan Young was the better voice for Scrooge). One of the few modern shows I watch on a regular basis.
-
DUCKTALES, like ALF, is something I watched when it was initially on the air as a young kid but haven't seen in probably 30 years. The former I remember rushing home from school as a kid after 3rd grade probably to watch. Innocent times! I remember the Nintendo DUCKTALES game was quite good....better than The Three Stooges, anyway. [pie]

I think Moe has the Fender six string bass in that picture....or at least it sure looks like it. Whenever John and George played bass on a later Beatles tune, that's what they'd use. Check out videos of John in "Let It Be" and "Long and Winding Road," pretty sure it's the same instrument.

-Threestooges.net credits an actor named Johnny Coons for appearing as well. Unfortunately, I don’t know a whole lot about this actor, but he did do voice work in other cartoons, so it’s possible he could have appeared on this show.
Could be "Uncle Johnny Coons" from early Chicago TV:

A few other questions which just popped up in my head:
1. Who gave Curly-Joe that nickname? I wanna say either Moe or Norman Maurer.
2. Were the non-Stooge Columbia shorts (Andy Clyde, Charley Chase et al.) ever shown on TV back in the 60s, 70s, or 80s (not in this century)? Same with the Joe McDoakes comedies from WB (not Stooge-related, but I know some members here like those shorts. I've only seen one from start to finish [So You Want to Be a Detective?], and it was a hoot.])
3. Are there any Stooge shorts where you can hear Curly speak in his natural voice?
-

There are a few lines in CRASH GOES THE HASH where Curly is almost whispering...sounds like what I think his regular voice would be.

I am not aware of any non-Stooge Columbia shorts (NSCSs) being shown on NYC or Philly TV during the 60s, 70s, or 80s, and that's the time period when I was glued to my TV set. I have no idea whether other cities may have broadcast the NSCSs, as my TV viewings were limited to the NYC and Philly channels. The only place I ever saw an NSCS in those days was at a Sons of the Desert (Laurel and Hardy) Meeting.

April 1959, Columbia/Screen Gems marketed the "Hilarious Hundred" package of non-Stooge shorts. There were more than 100, but it was marketed as such. This was in addition to that same month's "phase 2" of the Stooge roll-out of shorts, which was a package of 40 (78 in Sept. 1958, 40 in April 1959, 72 in Sept. 1959).
They didn't enjoy the same popularity as the Three Stooges, and on most of the participating stations sorta faded away after a couple years.

Thanks for the info, BeAStooge! Very fascinating, although I'm sure most viewers didn't think of El Brendel and his Swede accent as "hilarious", nyuk nyuk!

FINALLY, I now know the full story [thanks Brent!].... years ago when I bought some of these non-Stooge Columbias on bootleg VHS, I was surprised to see the Screen Gems logo tacked on the the beginning of some of them. I then surmised that they had had some sort of TV release at one time or another, but beyond that, I never knew when, why, or for how long.... until now!
This may be a stupid comparison, but it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the details of Brent's post: 20 years after the Stooges "second career" started, Benny Hill hit the US airwaves for the first time in 1979 [with re-packagings of his old Thames Television specials] and was a massive success. Thames quickly decided to capitalize on Benny's unexpected popularity with another made-for-the-USA package entitled "After Benny, Thames Presents..." which was simply a collection of other Thames Television comedy shows, none of which had the visual appeal/slapstick of Benny's shows, and died a very quick death in the US syndication market. Perhaps the same "suit" who brought us El Brendel in 1959 also gave us Bernard Cribbins in 1979!

I can answer that one: once the stooges hit in Boston, I do believe they released almost every comedy short in the Columbia vaults. It was my first exposure to Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon, The Shemp solo shorts, El Brendel, Andy Clyde, and I even remember The Glove Slingers. I was maybe six at the time. They ran them before school and after school. The non-stooge shorts didn't last very long, the Stooges just smoked everybody. I remember the Glove Slingers being downright pathetic, every short ending with a juvenile boxing match, egged on by the grown-ups who today would be booked for child abuse. The kids just soaked the good comedies up, nobody more than me. Oddly, if they ran any Charley Chases, I don't remember them.
-
WGN in Chicago must have bought that other package as well, since they ran Buster Keaton and Andy Clyde alongside the Stooges for a while.
My understanding though, is it was an even 100 shorts, so not the complete compendium of the "other" Columbia shorts. I know there are "industry insider" lists of the three packages of Stooge shorts -- is there a list like that for the "Hilarious Hundred?"
By the way...there is a photo of Bob Bell as Andy Starr (who hosted the shorts on WGN-Channel 9 in Chicago) standing by a marquee mentioning the Stooges, Clyde and Keaton. I have seen this photo shown on WGN retrospective specials over the years when they mention the show (no actual footage from the show is known to exist, only stills). But I could (solemnly) swear (to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth) that I have seen another version of this photo where more of the marquee is shown, and W.C. Fields' name is on it. This is puzzling to me, since Fields only made a handful of (talkie) shorts for Paramount, plus one for RKO. Were either one or the other part of some package WGN had back then? On the other hand -- Keaton only made 10 shorts for Columbia, and he was featured.
Unfortunately, I don't have the photo. It seems to be an early one. His costume and make up look a little different from those color ones that show up sonetines where he's sitting at the desk.

Greeting from CA! This is my first post on this forum and I am on a specific quest. I want to know about the two-tasseled square hat Curly wears in Dutiful and Dumb during the famous raw oyster stew scene. What is that hat from? What is it called? Where can I get one?

Dear Stooge-ophiles:
I need help remembering which short had Moe complaining of a "twitch" in his hand. I think there was painting (or hammering, or something like that) involved. I think Moe painted someones face (or hit them with hammer), then uttered the immortal line to the effect: "SORRY KID, IT WAS THAT OLD TWITCH AGAIN! Please help me identify the short with this gag.

Trying to recall the stooges short with the duck or goose tormenting Curly or Shemp. It was indoors. It bites one of them on the nose.
It wasn't a "a ducking they did go" and wasn't either of the caveman ones.

I am too new to post this as a separate topic, but I have been trying to find out anything about a compilation I watched growing up in the late 80s and early 90s. It was hosted by Mousie Garner and used the live action wrap arounds from the cartoons. He sat in a chair and would tell short intros before the video faded to the clips. I thought it was called Family Album, but I'm either mistaken or it is a very obscure video. Does anyone know something about this?

Welcome!
The primary guy responsible for the Stooges' sound effects was Joe Henrie. There's not a whole lot of detail documented on his approach, but if you search hard enough, you can find a relatively small number of articles about his contributions to the Stooges films. Here are two brief write-ups to get you started: one from the Find-A-Grave website, and a second from Steve Cox and Jim Terry's book One Fine Stooge.
