Slippery Silks - Curly, Moe and Larry as inept carpenters

Slippery Silks (1936) starring the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard) and Vernon Dent

Slippery Silks begins with a photograph of the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard) dressed as young children, which a lawyer is trying to use, with the help of the police, to find these three nephews of a recently-deceased man. “That’s the only photograph we could find among his effects. The old man died very suddenly.” “Probably took a look at the picture and couldn’t stand the shock.” It turns out that the Three Stooges have inherited a “swanky dress shop.” In the meantime, those three missing nephews are working as “artistic woodworkers” where the rich Mr. Morgan (played by Three Stooges regular Vernon Dent) is bringing his $50,000 ornate box from a museum, to have a duplicate made. The inevitable destruction of that poor little Chinese box is hilarious, slowly building up to a crescendo of slapstick, and is the highlight of the film.

The short film Three Little Beers is one of the most popular of the Three Stooges shorts, and with good reason – who can resist the combination of the Three Stooges, the game of golf, beer, and the slapstick destruction of a golf course?
