  Great!!  We have a Stooges discussion started!  Of course I know which
short film starred all three brothers.  The film was titled "Hold that Lion"
(one of the Shemp films) and Curly played a sleeping passenger on the train
that the boys jumped while pursuing Icabod Slipp.  When the Stooges removed
the hat covering Curly's face and removed the clothespin from his nose, he
let loose with the CLASSIC Curly snore,
              "ZZZZZZ WOO WOO WOO ARFF ARFF ZZZZ, etc."
Most people I know say to me,
      "Boy that sounds like Curly, but he has hair on his head!!??"
Right they are, but it definitely IS the puddinhead himself.

  Here's one ... there was a guy who played Old Man Goodrich, Shemp's rich
uncle Phineas Bowman, and other elderly, usually wealthy, figures.  He
played in many of the Shemp films, some of the Joe Besser shorts, and
possibly a few of the later Curly films.  He was actually quite young at
the time and is still alive and well and living in California.  What's
his real name???

  Thanks for the reply Steve (a moron after my own heart)!!
