Then Stan and Ollie sneak off to a fancy art deco nightclub... "Two Tars" (1928) features The Boys in an unforgettable traffic jam! And the best part? Our own Russ Peck will play the music! Our finale is "Dancing Masters" (1943). Dance instructors Stan and Ollie help their student Trudy and her inventor boyfriend. Yes, you can bring in takeout or other food.
