Oliver Hardy in "One Too Many" (1916)

Long before teaming with Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy starred with Billy Ruge in a series of comedies as "Plump and Runt." It was relatively short-lived, as they did 35 films together in 1915 and 1916, mainly one reels. It was the pinnacle of Ruge's career, and he disappeared from movies a few years later. Hardy moved on to bigger things.

That baby if he's alive. He's 104 years old.

[@antoniosenese9082]

Wow!... Mr. Hardy solo!

[@mrsbrownandhercat]

This is the film where Hardy arranged for his wife Madelyn to appear in a vain attempt to save their marriage. She's the one in the white outfit.

[@Hotshotter3000]

Wow, renting babies. 'get me a wife'. These comedies are astonishingly outrageous. Kidnapping galore!

[@WSenator1]

. . .and the mothers are going along with it!

[@Onlymusical]

@aronsteelo But it's a rare film! Never saw it before.

[@loetzcollector466]

I'm curious if this was filmed in Jacksonville Florida? I'm a lifetime local and know that a lot of his early Works we're done here.

[@WBT714]

I was there in 1916 when this skit was made. I had just gotten married to my 7th wife.

Never put it together that Hardy was a Fatty Arbuckle wannabe.
