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.

That’s a great map!
My favorite is the haunted house episode when the balloon with the scary face was attached to him. LOL
I once had a girlfriend who asked me why do young men sometimes do silly and stupid things. I told her the reason is very simple. Then I told her that first you have to understand that the Three Stooges are funny. Lost her right there.

I’d say that wasn’t a loss at all!
What an awesome thread! Thanks.
Only when I take bicarbonate.
Whenever anyone says "Niagara Falls,"

"Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned ..."

I’m partial to the recently discovered lost Three Stooges surrealist experimental film: The Errant Garment Bag... (stumbles) (1950)

The Shemp Meditation Tape
Back in the late 1980's as the New Age movement peaked, WFMU agonized over the fact that the station had absolutely nothing to offer the Windham Hill crowd, which was fleeing the station's membership rolls in droves. The solution was to place Dave the Spazz under house arrest until an appropriate audio solution could be assembled. The result was the Shemp Meditation Tape, which Dave described this way:(downloads at the radio link above)
Recommended for new age nitwits and chuckle*ucks alike....scientifically mixed in Shemp-A-Rama for your enlightened casaba-banging pleasure.... Soar the Horwitz heavens and become one with Shemp's karma on the Heee Beee Beee Beee side... transhempify your mind and cook your chakras on the life-infirming Ahh Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha side.The Shemp Meditation Tape went on to become the top selling item in WFMU's well intentioned but fatally flawed Catalog of Curiosities, which was in business from 1993-1997.
