Lost Classic ...

On what would be Stan Laurel's 126th birthday,  (b. June 16, 1890) it seems appropriate that Surfmatters would uncover a lost Laurel and Hardy short, entitled "Cheer Up, Stanley!"

Shot in 1930 (and running only 72 seconds) it was the last silent film Laurel and Hardy ever made...


It begins with Oliver and Stanley sitting down to dinner...


 It's obvious that Stanley is distraught over some unseen problem ...


Oliver tries to cheer him up by sharing an anecdote about his love life ...

So true!
Same goes for bicycles, bike-parts, skateboards and other watercraft...
Cheers
