Saps at Sea, the San Diego Laurel and Hardy Group, Presents: Some Laurel and Hardy Firsts!

Doors open at 4:30 p.m., films start at 5 p.m.. Donation is $10 per person and includes refreshments. Takeout or other food is allowed.

Our cartoon is "Plane Crazy" (1928), the first Mickey Mouse cartoon to be produced... but the fourth to be released. 

Next is another important first: "The Lucky Dog" (1921).  This Stan Laurel film features a character actor named Oliver Hardy. It would be five years before they made another film together, and made history!  And our own Russ Peck will provide live piano music!

In "One Good Turn" (1931), an elderly woman gives food to Depression victims Stan and Ollie, so they decide to help her out.  Stan's young daughter Lois was upset that Stan always got the worst of it from Ollie, so in this film the tables are turned...  Another first!

Other films include "The Finishing Touch," "The Stolen Jools," "The Midnight Patrol," and our first showing of a special tribute to Oliver Hardy.
