An Original Vintage Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) the 1954 triple-bill release of Pick a Star, the 1937 Edward Sedgwick movie-making acting musical comedy ("'So many women are crazy about me!'"; "'You're not hurt-and I can give you a job!'"; "'I'm directing this picture, no you!'"; "'This will teach you to mind your own business!'"; "'You're as good as a movie star already!'"; "Hollywood's gayest night spot... scene of Joe's Waterloo!"; "'Come on Stan, Let's finish this scene!'"; about a country girl who comes to Hollywood to be an actress, and Hal Roach had his top stars Laurel & Hardy appear in sequences about the making of a movie!; produced by Hal Roach) starring Patsy Kelly, Jack Haley, Rosina Lawrence, Mischa Auer, Lyda Roberti, and Stan Laurel, and Oliver Hardy (billed as "also Stan LAUREL, Oliver HARDY"). Note that Laurel & Hardy appeared in this movie as a favor to producer Hal Roach (who had launched their career as a comedy team), and agreed to low billing, and to appear in a corner of the advertising, because their presence and their billing at that time was sure to greatly enhance the box office of this movie! AND The Devil's Brother (also released as "Fra Diavolo"), the 1933 Hal Roach & Charley Rogers 17th century Italy romantic bandit musical comedy ("From The famous Comic Opera 'Fra Diavolo' by Auber"; also produced by Hal Roach; about a famed Italian bandit, who poses as a nobleman in order to get close to rich people and then rob them; Stan and Ollie join with the bandit, with outrageous comic results!) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Dennis King (in the title role as "Fra Diavolo"), Thelma Todd, James Finlayson, Lucile Browne, Arthur Pierson, and Darla Hood (the future Our Gang member, when she was just 18 months old!) AND Bonnie Scotland, the 1935 James W. Horne British-in-India military screwball crime comedy ("Full length Feature"; about Stan moving to Scotland to inherit the "MacLaurel Estate", but discovering it is worthless, and they are then tricked into enlisting in the British Army in India, where they have many adventures!) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), James Finlayson, June Lang, and William Janney NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
