The Stooges in color
16 June 2018
From their earliest career period when they were still part of Ted Healy's act, this short subject Nertsery Rhymes is a chance to see the Three Stooges in color on the screen. Although Nertsery Rhymes is in bad need of restoration and the color is pretty washed out, still seeing Moe, Larry, and Curly in all shades of the rainbow is something.

The guys play three precocious lads who father Ted Healy is trying to put to sleep so he and Bonny Bonell can go out to a beer joint. Note they don't say speakeasy as it looks like happy days have arrived and Prohibition is gone.

The fantasy musical numbers are nothing to write home about. But nice to see Moe, Larry, and Curly in their salad days even in washed out color.
