Date Sold 11/25/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 6" x 8" [15 x 20 cm] News Photo (Learn More) Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy (Laurel & Hardy) were one of the greatest comedy teams of all time from the 1920s to the 1940s. While they both had solo work (Hardy was a top star in the 1910s, and Laurel was becoming a star in the mid 1920s, but then they joined forces and became superstars!), they are best remembered as a team, and some of their movies include: Sons of the Desert, The Music Box, Way Out West, Big Business, Helpmates, Tit For Tat, Towed in a Hole, Them Thar Hills, and Liberty AND Hal Roach was a legendary producer of mostly comedy shorts from the 1910s to the 1940s (he is credited as the producer on over 1,200 of them!). He was the guiding force behind the Our Gang shorts, the Laurel & Hardy films, and the early Harold Lloyd films, among many, many others. In the early days, his films were released through Pathe. Later, he began distributing through MGM, and he sold his assets to them in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He passed away in 1992 at the age of 100! Important Added Info: Note that the snipe on the back of this photo says that Laurel & Hardy and Hal Roach were at the "banquet-session of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood Cal. Nov 19., during which the Academy's awards for professional excellence were announced." Since they won the Oscar for Best Short Subject for their classic comedy short "The Music Box", we know that this is the award they were receiving (back then, the awards were held in November, and the winners were from the previous "split year", like 1931-32, but they intelligently switched to calendar years for later ceremonies). Also note that this news photo measures 6" x 8" [15 x 20 cm]. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
