Wow! This is great stuff. Never seen this before, and i have been a huge L&H fan for 42 years. It must have been Destiny, for Laurel an Hardy to team up and become the legends they now are. Thank you very much for posting.
Sorry but Stan didn't direct Kid Spees or The Paperhangers Helper (Stick Around). He only directed Ollie in Yes Yes Nanette, Wandering Papas(AKA Enough To Do) and Madame Mystery. Ward Hays directed Stick Around and Larry Semon with Noel Smith directed Kid Speed
I think those three titles should be added to the official L&H canon. After all, Stan and Babe both worked together on them, even if Stan doesn't actually appear on screen.
Paper Hangers (Part 3): quite a training film for the L and H format. too bad it wasn't Laurel instead of Larry Semon in this. With L and H, you COULD slow it down, and it would be better, because of Hardy's subtle gestures and slow burn of frustration, and Laurel's confused looks and clumsiness. They were superior actors, with meticulous rehearsal and execution.
Happy Happy Birthday Oliver Hardy! I think of you always with a smile. You gave such joy to the world.
Holy quak the stuntwork.....amazing and very dangerous
Thank you for this marvel

Hardy, beautiful actor...
1924!
wow scott joplin ragtime in this flim and this was 1925!
That actually looks like Oliver Hardy's handwriting at 01:51 - I've seen his autograph enough times to recognize it.
I'm sure you're correct.
Yes I recognise it too.
Also known as The Four-Wheeled Terror. Nothing to do with Stan Laurel. Directed by Larry Semon.
