​​Saps at Sea, the San Diego Laurel and Hardy group, presents:

Some Laurel and Hardy Firsts on May 30!

​

​​​​​​​​​​Our cartoon is "Plane Crazy" (1928), the first Mickey Mouse cartoon to be produced... but the fourth to be released. 

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Next is another important first: "The Lucky Dog" (1921).  This Stan Laurel film features a character actor named Oliver Hardy.  It would be five years before they made another film together, and made history!  And our own Russ Peck will provide live piano music!

​

​​​​In "One Good Turn" (1931), an elderly woman gives food to Depression victims Stan and Ollie, so they decide to help her out.  Stan's young daughter Lois was upset that Stan always got the worst of it from Ollie, so in this film the tables are turned...  Another first!

​​​​​​​​​​

"The Finishing Touch" (1928) is a rollicking, fast-action silent movie. The Boys have a contract to build a house in one day.  Think they can do it?

​​​

​​​​​"The Stolen Jools" (1931) features an all-star cast helping to find Norma Shearer's jewelry.  With appearances by Buster Keaton, Edward G. Robinson, Our Gang, and our favorite comedy team!

 

Next is Marc De Coninck's Tribute to Babe... the first time we are showing this film.

​

​​​​​​​​And our finale is "The Midnight Patrol" (1933).  Rookie cops Stan and Ollie respond to a burglary in progress!  "Look out boys. Somebody's stealing your spare tire.  That is all."
