LAUREL & HARDY 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

(1930) - Farina sees a newspaper ad

fancy pet show. Wheezer, Chubby, Jackie and the
rest of the gang imagines their pet winning a
big prize.
- MOAN AND GROAN INC.
(2) (1929) - Friendly neighborhood policeman,
Edgar Kennedy the cop, warns the gang to stay
away from an old abandoned house in the
neighborhood. Instead, he suggests the kids go
dig for buried treasure, which they proceed to
do—in the basement of the old abandoned house.
The house is inhabited by a homeless lunatic who
takes giddy delight in scaring the children,
particularly Farina. Kennedy eventually turns up
at the house to save the kids and apprehend the
lunatic, but can hardly take care of himself.
- WILD POSES
(1933) - Franklin Pangborn
has trouble taking a portrait photo of Spanky.
Spanky gets to sock Pangborn frequently and
hilariously. Look for a quick cameo by Laurel
and Hardy.

moving without Buckwheat's
interpolations. In a white box.
