Hello Laurel & Hardy friends,
I hope you are all swell….unfortunately this “Another Nice Mess” continues and we can’t as yet meet, but I’m very forever hopeful its not too far away now. I will let you know when…but sadly I have had to cancel the Bull Inn this year.
If we could have met we would have paid a little tribute to Edgar Livingstone Kennedy who was born this month 131 years ago…April 26th 1890. Edgar usually played an exasperated figure, often a policeman and he was well known for his “slow burn” look to the camera. He played in or directed no less than 11 films with Stan & Ollie…but for this month I would highly recommend any of the following films to watch if you have a bad case of L&Hdelirious, or even a double L&Hdelirious, just like me!
– “The Finishing Touch” (1928) – Stan & Ollie finish building a house – Edgar plays the cop.
– “Bacon grabbers” (1929) – Stan & Ollie try and serve a writ on Edgar (and Jean Harlow)
– “Unaccustomed As We Are” (1929) – Stan & Ollies 1st talkie – Edgar plays a cop.
– “Perfect Day” (1929) – Stan & Ollie go on a picnic with Uncle Edgar.
– “Night Owls‘” (1930) – Stan & Ollie are enrolled as burglars by Edgar the cop.
– “You’re Darn tootin” (1928) – Trouser Ripping fun – Edgar as director.
Not much else L&H to report this month.
Repeating the mantra…. please stay safe everyone and hopefully we will see you all again real soon!
Laurel & Hardily Yours,
Dave and Denise T
