nonsportsnut commented about Hamid's Million Dollar Pier Theatre on Oct 8, 2007 at 2:06 am

I’m a member of the Three Stooges Fan Club in PA. The fan club headqarters is at the Stoogeum (www.stoogeum.com ). Gary Lassin, the FC President, is trying to document the Three Stooges live appearances. One in particular has been difficult. It is an appearance in, probably, late July, 1937, at the Million Dollar Pier in AC.

Any suggestions on verifying that appearance? It would have been Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard.

Thanks,

Frank

I’m trying to find information on the Roxy Burlesque in Cleveland in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Joe DeRita, the “last” third stooge of the Three Stooges, was featured there for 32 weeks in late 1935, and married a dancer/chorus girl there, Bonnie Brooks. The Three Stooges Fan Club is trying to find out whatever happened to Bonnie Brooks

There used to be a great group of posts here, but I guess an internet glich wiped thm out. Hopefully, the automatic email system will forward this poet to the former posters, and they will re-post.
I’m a Three Stooges researcher, who finally found out what happened to Burlesque dancer & talking woman Dorothy DeHaven, who was in the Stooge’s 1946 short “Three Little Pirates”.
I have been searching for information about the Globe, and the filming of a Burlesque ahow there in 1961, called “Scanty Panties”. It starred Virginia “Ding Dong” Bell, Billy “Cheese and Crackers” Hagan, Maxie Furman and Alma Maiben, among others.
Anyone with ANY information, please email me at Thanks,

nonsportsnut commented about Trocadero Theatre on Sep 25, 2007 at 12:52 am

As I was researching some other Troc stuff, I came upon the name of the pit orchestra leader during the last years of the Troc (Before canned music). Maxie Furman must have had a close relationship with him, because he would always segue into a dancer’s routine with a reference to “Strike up the band, Merrick!”

Merrick Valinote was born in New York on Feb 27, 1898. While at the Troc (And, I assume, the Globe in AC in the Summertime), he lived in Oaklyn, NJ. He was a Philadelphia resident at the time of his death in Feb, 1976.

The Three Stooges Fan Club in Pennsylvanis is trying to document all Three Stooges personal appearances. Since the Hippodrome was one of their favorite venues, we hope someone can document (tickets, programs, newspaper ads, etc.) or approximate dates, their appearances from 1935 and the next ten years. My email is fereighter@aol..com

The Fan Club is presently trying to compile a list of all Three Stooges personal appearances. We’re sure there were personal appearances in the area. The era may range from 1930’s to 1980’s. Please let us know how a search like this could be done. The 1960’s to 1980’s appearances may have been in connection with Officer Joe Bolton.

Hirst Enterprises also owned the Globe Burlesque Theatre in Atlantic City, NJ.
Also looking for information on the 1961 70 minute film called “Scanty Panties”, filmed at the Globe.

Hi daughter, see my post above yours. I’m well aware of “Scanty Panties” Email me at , or call me at 267 523-5166.
Who was your mother in the film, and were Maxie’s archives donated to one of the local Universities? I’m getting a bunch of articles on the Troc from a collector who had 2 binders full of Burlesque articles. So many questions; so little space!
