Join us for another fun evening! Films include the short documentary "Grand Hotel" (1932). Massive crowds greet Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy at a children's charity event in Tynemouth, Northeast England -- where Stan Laurel lived as a young boy. "Blotto" (1930) is the only Laurel & Hardy movie where Stan is married and Ollie is single! Stan tells wife Anita Garvin that he has been called in to work at night. 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. As Oliver Hardy would say, "Bring your eats with you!" Visit the Saps at Sea - San Diego Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/111118255744315
