LAUREL & HARDY SOUND COMEDIES

• THE STOLEN JOOLS (2) - 1931. Star-packed, including Laurel & Hardy, promotional short subject intended to raise funds for the National Variety Artists tuberculosis sanatorium, produced in association with Chesterfield cigarettes. Plot involves the investigation of the reported theft of Norma Shearer's jewelry. Made by the National Vaudeville Artists (NVA) as part of a charity campaign and distributed free to theatres in 1931. After the showing a live speaker would come out and request donations. The film was rediscovered in 1972 in Britain, where it had been released in 1932 as "The Slippery Pearls," one of the Masquers Club comedy series for RKO. Subsequently a U.S. print was discovered and the film's true title, origin and purpose were at last known. Mint in the OB - $39

Before long, a customer arrives--what a fabulous opportunity for Charlie to exhibit his subtle technical skills, and to give his critical scientific evaluation with the use of a rusty can-opener. Mint condition print in the OB - $69 ONE A.M. - 1916. Charlie comes home drunk. Forgetting his key, he climbs in through the window, climbs back out with the key, and goes through the door.

Blackhawk Films print, 64 minutes on a full 1,200' reel in Like New condition - $119
• FARO NELL - 1929 Al Christie sound comedy starring Louise Fazenda. It has a brand of humour that you either get or you don't. If you don't, you are likely looking at it on the surface too much. The melodramatic awfulness of the dialogue is clearly an intentional throwback to the silent 'horse operas' of 20 years earlier. Pre-code sexual innuendo abounds in this one but you need to be paying attention to catch most of it. Altogether, FARO NELL is a comedic gem that deserves rediscovery. Near Mint 400' - $39
