Laurel And Hardy: Stolen Jools 1931
Star-packed promotional short subject intended to raise funds for the National Variety Artists tuberculosis sanetarium, produced in association with a cigarette company! The plot involves the Los Angeles police station reporting that Norma Shear’s pearls have been stolen. A detective has been sent to the actress’s home to interrogate party guests, most of whom are famous Hollywood stars. The detective ends up chasing leads all over town, ending up at a movie studio, where he learns the truth about the slippery pearls. Nice effort, considering it was for charity.
