This should give you some reflection on the transience of things. Everyone in this film footage is long gone, but they were able to share some fun and some laughs with us today.
For those who didn’t know, Shemp Howard was phobic of lots of things like canines and heights and bodies of water larger than a bathtub. In that take with Shemp in the pool, when he reluctantly went there, I’m guessing that Moe was in there with him mainly because seeing how Moe cares about his brother, he was there to comfort him from some of the hydrophobia he had.
I thought it was just a normal car crash - didn't know eye candy was involved! I nearly never got my license due to fear of a crash as well. He also allegedly didn't like dogs apart from his own collie, Wags.
@@Reticence9zen924I think he drove the car through a shop and almost killed somebody and that scared the hell out of him so he never drove again. You might want to research that but that was what I remember. 😮

@@timothyross308 It was 20 years. Shemp died November 22, 1955, and Moe died May 4th, 1975, a little over three months after Larry's death. Two months after Shemp's death was the four year anniversary of Curly's death (January 18th, 1952).
@thethreestooges1934 Apparently the Lansdowne was in business from 1936 to 1958. It seems the Stooges didn't do any live appearances with Besser, and I'm not sure about Shemp -- the only dates I've actually seen specifically mentioned online were in 1945 with Curly. I suppose they could have been appearing with DeRita in the very last weeks that the theater was still open, since that's about the time they started doing their kiddie matinees and such... BTW, everyone that loves this footage should also check out the clip showing their similar antics at the Steel Pier with Curly, recorded in I think 1936.

Even in 1929, before the Stooges started making comedies for Columbia, Moe and Shemp are horsing around and roughhousing with each other. Amazing how their antics were making people laugh even then. If ordinary people like you and I tried that in real life, people would be shocked and appalled by it. Guess that's the difference between ordinary people and "morons" as Curly put it in Three Smart Saps (1942).
@@christinecollins6648 That was all part of their act on stage several years prior to this footage. And all those gals I assume are Follies dancers or some sort of showbiz types, so they all knew what was going on...
Its kind of creepy and eerie seeing these people so young and having fun but knowing not a single person there is alive today ... Its like seeing ghosts from the past
Helen(Moe's Wife),Mabel(Larry's Wife) and Gertude(Shemp's Wife) were Natural Flappers. Ironically, Helen Howard was the oldest of the Wives. Shemp's Wife Gertude was born in 1902 and was 7 years his junior, while Mabel was the youngest having been born in 1904.
When was this made, and by whom? My guess is 1929, since (1) it's a sound film and the sound is decent quality, and (2) Moe had rejoined Ted Healy by then (He and Larry Fine had quit show biz for a year or so in 1928 to start raising their families - Shemp had stayed with Healy), and it's obvious that this is not just a Howard family home movie. Interesting that Larry is not a part of this film, though. UPDATE: According to threestooges.net, it was indeed filmed on Coney Island in 1929, by Fox for a newsreel. Whether this footage was ever released is unknown. Ted Healy, with Moe, Larry, & Shemp as his Stooges, was starring in A Night in Venice on Broadway at that time. Fox filmed them on a day off, and the women were probably chorus girls in the show.
I don't think the Depression had yet kicked in when this was filmed; it looks like summertime, and the stock market didn't crash until November of that year.
Food wasn't packed with sugars and other poisons, not a lot of processed foods all of which are inflammatory and nutrient deficient with addictive properties that leads to eating more.
@@matthewronsson you know we didn't have cancer and many other health problems of today no TV so you would not be sitting there you would be more active my dad was born in 1921 work hard in those days
In 1938, Moe told lyricist Yip Harburg that he remembered that on the day this was filmed, 3 dwarves excitedly came up to him & Shemp. Moe recalled the pint-sized trio told them, "From now on you'll be history, you'll be his, you'll be his, you'll be history! And we will glorify your name. You will be a bust, be a bust, be a bust in the hall of fame!" Harburg never forgot.
Moe and Shemp supposedly appeared on film in a 1919 film called Spring Fever starring baseball player Honus Wagner. Whether the film still exists, if it ever did, no one knows. Years before that, Moe appeared as a child actor in bit parts for Brooklyn-based Vitagraph Studios. A 1910 fire destroyed the films in which he appeared. Guess that's why this is the earliest known existing film footage of Moe and Shemp.
Dual had cool hair Mo a Dutch boy haircut, Larry probably inspired Art Garfunkel I don't know what you call his haircut you look like you had enough for two heads. With half face hair pulling in one side of its head and the other half falling on the other side of his head. And curly had the neatest no maintenance hair do I love them all don't we all
@@djhrecordhound4391 yeah I've seen Curly's full head of hair, but I always thought Shemp's was the coolest, as it fell a d he slicked it back. Idk. Ha
Wow, what a gem! Thanks for posting! Shemp looked like a rock star - - got those Moves Like Shemp! I guess a woman simping over Shemp would be considered a Shimpette. And I think a female Shemp is a Shempess. Any which way, I digress. I figured Moe was decent in his prime, but I didn't know he was heartbreakingly handsome. Despite all that was going on, it's easy to pick out his distinctive husky voice. 1:10, while swimming, it sounds like he's calling out for Shemp and Larry. Wish Larry was featured more prominently, but at least he made an appearance (looking like a lean, mean, pugilistic machine).
That sort of stuff is common nowadays especially in Hollywood..... In 10 to 20 years theirs going to be a whole generation of kids confused beyond belief
My mom used to say she wished she had a daughter. I'm sure she meant in addition to, not instead of, her 4 sons. Fortunately, unlike Moe's mom, she never tried to make any of us look like a girl.
And the guy on the right - see him spank that uke! Flaming youth in action. Also Moe is a player. Gets twelve random girls to line up and wave their legs around. Hot-cha!
Moe clearly states at approx 1:19 -> "Hal, out of the way." Hal was probably part of the troop or production crew. This was clearly filmed as some sort of Stooge promo, maybe to be shown to other execs?
@Brenda Canham Lococo Yes. Shemp had dozens of Phobias. He never Drove either. He had gotten into a minor accident at 25 so he decided never to get his license.

I don’t see how this could be Coney Island with the four-track electrified railroad in the background. It looks more like this was filmed at a public playground/pool alongside the LIRR/New Haven freight line that runs through Brooklyn from Fresh Pond Junction in Queens to Bay Ridge Brooklyn.
Why does that mean it couldn't be at Coney Island? I can't see why someone would go to the trouble of filming old vaudvillians at anything but Coney Island....wouldn't you film a place people had hear of and had always wanted to go to but couldn't?
And I just noticed the overhead catenary wire. Note the black bar with the four insulators hanging from it. Possibly it was a streetcar main line, so maybe it was Coney, but still it would be interesting to see exactly where this was filmed.

I wonder if someone got called a wiseguy.
All 3 Stooges shorts are all have soundtrack from 1929 to 1961. I thought Curly was one of the original 3 Stooges, along with Larry and Moe, but it is not. Larry, Shemp, and Moe: 1929-1934, Larry, Curly, and Moe: 1934-1946, Larry, Shemp, and Moe: 1947-1956, Larry, Joe, and Moe: 1957, 1958, and 1959. Finally Larry, Curly-Joe, and Moe: 1961-1965.
The birth of genius!!!
