Oh, more wise guys, eh?

The slapstick comedy team once known as Ted Healy and His Southern Gentlemen started in vaudeville, but got their big break in pictures in the 1930 feature film Soup to Nuts. Ted had top billing, but Moe, Larry and Shemp stole the show, and went on to a long career as the Three Stooges (officially so named after Curly replaced Shemp in 1932). Michael Ruhland has more about the movie, which also features its writer Rube Goldberg, and joins the public domain in 46 days.
