    Such shame that Hal roach was such a vulture always exploiting these amazing men and never paying them as a double because it was cheaper to pay them separately.

    I didn't know that Stan and Olli were so popular in Europe as early as 1932, thinking that this would only have been the case after their active career.

    I can't express enough how much i love these 2. They are comedy platinum and you know they were something special when you can show a child one of their movies or shorts 90 years later and they are in hysterics.

      Hardy's mother used to visit a clairvoyant in Decatur. When he was 13, she took her son with her and asked for a prediction. "One day he will be famous throughout the world" she said. In an interview later in life, Ollie said in an interview: "It's good to know my mother saw that prediction come true."

    They arrived from Newcastle and went on to Glasgow. At Edinburgh Castle they visited the Scottish National War Memorial. At the Playhouse, Hardy made a speech, after which "Laughing Gravy" was shown. When they went to Glasgow, the press of the crowd at Central Station caused a stone balustrade at the Hotel entrance to collapse, injuring six people slightly. I found all these details in press reports on the British Newspaper Archive website.

    This footage reminds me of the original The 39 Steps. There were the crowds, the scene at Waverley station, the striding of two men into stage at the theatre as if Mr Memory Man is about to be introduced (with the jaunty music mimicking the original), and somewhere springs from the crowds Robert Donat as Richard Hannay dodging the clutches of the tall coppers. Where was I? But seriously, this footage is splendid, it truly is. The swarm of the crowds to greet L&H in the flesh is quite moving in a way - they just about behaved, the crowds did, when you consider how few policemen were there acting as stewards. Probably L&H were not expecting such crowds! Maybe some folk back then might have sniffed at such passion for celebrities such as L&H - but in 1932, these crowds detected real (and highly talented) stars, and they arrived, the comic duo did, on their doorstep. It was not just a case of a light presenting itself in what you might say, in comparison to our times, a colourless world: these people loved Laurel And Hardy. And God love 'em all.

    Wonder if there's any films of this but with audio ?. I remember my granddad went to see them at the 'Playhouse' - he was ex-military, no-nonsense type but when he talked about it you could tell he was an avid fan of theirs !!

    There are no additional casts besides Laurel & Hardy, such as Billy Gilbert, Edgar Kennedy, James Finlayson, Charlie Hall, and Walter Long. All these additional cast that I mentioned are also in the silent films in 1928 and early 1929.

    Oliver Hardy was quite a handsome guy. Had he taken more care of himself i.e. not over weight he could probably have been a leading man in films.
