I try to play this masterpiece at least once a year.
\nJerome Horowitz was the younger brother of Moses and
\nSamuel and by all accounts not a trained actor
\nor comedian at all.
\nA few years after the brother’s vaudevillian act had
\ntaken off Samuel decided to leave the group to pursue
\nan acting career, left with a gap to fill the younger
\nHorowitz brother was chosen to replace him.
\nFor a man with no formal training in the art of acting
\nor stage work, or a high school diploma for that matter,
\nJerome would soon become one of the funniest men on the
\nplanet, as this skit will attempt to prove.
\nThe three comedians became world famous as The Three Stooges,
\nLouis Feinberg (Larry Fine), Moses (Moe Howard),
\nand younger brother, Jerome.
\nThey produced a vast amount of comedic shorts that, to this
\nday, still get viewed by large numbers of people world wide,
\nalmost seventy years after the last one was made.
\nThe younger brother went on to be considered by many to be the
\nfunniest of the lot, not too shabby considering he was a quick
\nfill-in for Shemp, the guy who decided to leave.
\nHe still has admirers, more than sixty years after his death.
\nHere’s my salute to one of the funniest guys to ever live.
\nCurly Howard, in a true comedy classic…<\/p>\n
