Laurel and Hardy – Along Came Auntie

Along Came Auntie – 1926 Black & White. A divorced woman, Vivien Oakland, is set to receive $100,000 and diamonds from her divorce-disapproving aunt. Having taken in her first husband, Oliver Hardy, as a lodger, due to financial difficulties, and now living with her second husband, she must act to convince her aunt, that she is still married to her first husband, which is not taken gracefully by her second husband. A giggle! Short Kilts – 1924 Black & White. One of the better Stan Laurel solo shorts, Stan is seen in this ensemble comedy of feuding Scotch families with the ever-reliable foil James Finlayson as well as Our Gang members Mickey Daniels and Mary Kornman. The plot is the simple matter of a feud between families, and that’s just an excuse to set-up a series of slapstick sketches. The simplicity of the humor has an air of nostalgia to it. Vintage mirth. Smithy (Also known as The Home Wrecker (UK) – 1924 Black & White. After being discharged from the 372nd infantry, on account of a bean shortage, Smithy, Stan Laurel, seeks employment. He finds this at a construction site, where he helps to build a house, and soon causes havoc amongst other workers. The construction company owner leaves for a week, and tells his secretary to send a letter to Mr. Smith telling him to complete the construction of the house while he (the owner) is away. The letter is accidently sent to Smithy who manages to complete the house. When the owner returns the house is complete, and Smithy is commended until the last support beam is removed…Fall down funny!
