Long-lost ‘Three Stooges’ short surfaces

All surviving negative and positive materials for “Hello Pop” — a Three Stooges short in early two-color Technicolor that MGM released in September, 1933 — were believed destroyed in a 1967 vault fire at the Culver City studio (that also claimed Todd Browning’s “London After Midnight” and most outtakes from “The Wizard of Oz.”) Fifty-five years later, the Vitaphone Project — a New Jersey-based group whose mission has expanded from reuniting long-missing soundtrack discs for early musical shorts with mute prints in archives to worldwide searches for missing features and shorts from the post-Vitaphone era — was contacted by an Australian film collector asking if “Hello Pop!” was a lost film. Indeed, it’s the only short or feature with the prolific Stooges not known to exist in any form.

55 years after 1967 is 2022. Is that when we will find the lost film?

A lot of people never knew that Moe, Shemp, and Curly were first generation born in USA from their Romanian immigrants parents. Their mom couldn’t speak English too well and Samuel came out as Shemp. LOL That’s how he got his stage name.

Moe: “Hold on a minute, now! Ain’t there another way we can die?”

Archer: “You may either have your head cut off, or be burned at the stake!”

Larry: “Cut my head off!”

Curly: “Not me, I’d rather be burned at the stake!”

Larry: “Why?”

Curly: “A hot steak is better than a cold chop!”
