  • SPECIAL 0x19 Hollywood On Parade No. B-9

    • March 30, 1934
    • AMC

    Songwriters Mack Gordon and Harry Revel mingle on a soundstage's nightclub set with various celebrities, while bartender Ben Turpin provides refreshments. Numerous sources list this short incorrectly as being from 1932, and Curly's 1st on-screen appearance. This short was released on March 30, 1934, and was the Stooges' final on-screen appearances with Ted Healy. The tavern setting with everyone drinking beer and celebrating the repeal of Prohibition shows that this was filmed sometime after December 5, 1933, the passage date of the 21st Amendment to the Constitution. In the early days of television, Paramount sold its 1932 - 1934 HOLLYWOOD ON PARADE series, 26 one-reel shorts, to a syndicator called Criterion. Criterion placed its own company credit in the opening titles, and recycled that same revised opening title credit on all 26 shorts. Hence, the source of the erroneous 1932 copyright notice that appears on this short. The short's B-9 sub-title refers to the 9th release of the second release season (1933 - 1934).

    SPECIAL 0x21 The Big Idea

    • May 12, 1934
    • AMC

    Like other shorts Healy and the Stooges filmed at MGM, stock footage was utilized to fill out the 20 minutes of time. For The Big Idea, MGM used musical numbers edited out of the feature film Dancing Lady, which ironically had a supporting role by Healy and a cameo by the Stooges. This is one of the last films and the fifth and final musical-comedy short subject in which the Three Stooges appeared with their longtime partner, Ted Healy. The Big Idea was edited from footage of Healy and the Stooges filmed for the unfinished MGM variety film The March of Time (1930), which later became the title of a long-running newsreel series. By the time of the release of The Big Idea, the Three Stooges had signed a new contract with Columbia Pictures to do a series of comedy short films without Healy, beginning with Woman Haters (1934).
