Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
18 min. (Short Subject)
The Stooges are out-of-work vagrants looking for jobs, but run afoul of a shop owner who thinks they're thieves and calls for the police. The boys duck into a nearby art school, and are mistaken for new art students. The art world is quickly rocked with havoc, culminating in a wet clay fight with patrons and fellow students.
Moe's daughter Joan, and Larry's daughter Phyllis, appear in the hopscotch scene with the Stooges running from the cop.
Joan Howard has supported her father's legacy by appearing at numerous Stooges conventions, Fan Club meetings, and film festivals over the years. In her status as a supporting actress, Joan joined ten other actresses who worked with the Stooges, at a costar reunion held on Feb. 17, 2007 in Burbank CA; see The Three Stooges Journal # 121 (Spring 2007) for the story and photos.
Unfilmed/edited scenes found in Jules White's final shooting script, including an alternate version of the climatic clay fight scene, were transcribed in The Three Stooges Journal # 101 (Spring 2002).

This one has it all--the stooges panhandling, running from the law, mixing with the upper crusters of society, and, of course, a big pie fight. Ok, so technically it was clay--but that's only a minor technicality. Plus, it's the debut of the great Del Lord behind the director's chair. In short, stooge heaven....

I love the early ones. Larry was once asked why their early films were so great, and his reply was "one word: Curly".. However they all shine here. Funny dialog and sight gags galore. The boys manage to f**k up everything they get involved with, and an art school is no diffrent. Highlights are: Chrysanthemum. Girls laughing at the boys playing hopscotch. The very cute art model (great legs). Midnight on the Ocean. Stooges as non-American students. Shufflboard. The boys in drag. Curly's Mae West impersonation. And the big clay fight of course. All the Stooge films have a surreal quality to them, but the early ones moreso.
