	James Finlayson - Mr. Double Take
		Finlayson's work with Laurel and Hardy is clearly among his best.
		Whether he was a bystander or a villain, Finlayson's performance was always pivotal to the film.
		Jimmy Finlayson is best known for his "double take and fade away." This is how he described his trademark routine, in which he performed an exaggerated double take followed by a one-eyed stare, in response to doubt or disbelief.

	James Finlayson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Finlayson (1771-1852) was a Scottish Quaker who, in effect, took the Industrial Revolution to Tampere, Finland.
		James Finlayson was born 1771 in Glasgow, Scotland and became a self-trained engineer.
		The next year Finlayson received a permission from a Finnish senate to build a factory in Tampere using the water power from the Tammerkoski river, again with the backing of the tsar.

		Born in Larbert in 1887, Finlayson turned his back on the chance of working alongside his father in an iron foundry, and was training for a career in business when he was introduced to John Clyde, a noted Scottish actor of the time.
		Finlayson was certainly very capable, and very funny, but as a solo name never quite caught on with the movie public.
		James "Jimmy" Finlayson, her dour Scots friend, from Larbert, was usually punctual in arriving for his morning visit.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Biography
		In 1923, Finlayson moved to Hal Roach, where he would spend the next 17 years as both a star comic and (more successfully) a supporting player.
		While some of Finlayson's feature-film roles were sizeable, notably his assignments in Dawn Patrol (1930) and All Over Town (1937), he was most often seen in unbilled bits, sometimes (as in the 1938 Astaire-Rogers vehicle Carefree) minus his trademarked paintbrush moustache.
		Because of his long associations with Sennett and Roach, James Finlayson was frequently called upon to appear in nostalgic recreations of Hollywood's silent era, notably Hollywood Cavalcade (1939) and The Perils of Pauline (1947).

		A precursor to Chickens Come Home, with Jimmy Finlayson in the role Hardy would later assume — that of a businessman being flmailed by a former (and tawdry) girl friend, played in both films by Mae Busch.
		Finlayson has some of the funnier bits in the film but The Boys hold their own.
		Finlayson has the centerpiece role: He's a millionaire who wakes up after a party to discover that he got married in a drunken stupor.

		To try and distract her, Finlayson insists that his employee, Laurel, escort Busch to a restaurant: "You have a powerful control over women," he says, but we know it's a lie.
		It includes a very funny bit where Laurel and Finlayson try to escort the unconscious Busch out of the house: Finlayson bends over and supports her on his back.
		It also featured James Finlayson in the second banana role, a role he would repeat often, much to his chagrin (for he was frequently on the receiving end of their wrath).

	James Henderson Finlayson
		James Henderson Finlayson (1887-1953), born in Falkirk, Scotland, is known as the number one foil to Laurel and Hardy.
		In my opinion, Jimmy Finlayson (as he was often billed in the early films) could have easily starred his own film series.
		To collegues, he was simply known as "Jimmy".

	Big Business Synopsis - Moviefone
		Stan unintentionally insults their first customer (a single woman) when he asks, "If you had a husband, would he buy a tree?" The second house has a sign up that says "No Peddlers." Ollie rings the bell anyway and gets a couple of knocks on the head with a hammer.
		When they come to Jimmy Finlayson's (James Finlayson) house, he tells them that he doesn't want a tree, and he closes the door -- on a tree branch.
		Finlayson chops their tree in half and cuts Ollie's tie with scissors.

		James Henderson "Jimmy" Finlayson (August 27, 1887 Larbert, Scotland - October 9, 1953, Los Angeles) was a Scottish-American actor who worked in both silent and sound comedies.
		Bald, with a fake moustache, Finlayson was famous also for his squinting, outrageous "double-take, and fade away" head reaction.
		Finlayson used the phrase "D'Oh!" (although it is more drawn out than Homer Simpson's) in the Laurel and Hardy short film, "Me and My Pal" and many others.

	Chickens Come Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In Love 'em and Weep, Jimmy Finlayson stars as Titus Tillsbury, a successful businessman who is visited by a flmailing old flame, played with fiery verve by none other than Mae Busch, who repeats her role in the remake.
		The slightly dumb business associate is played by Stan Laurel in both films, and, since he doesn't seem to be the sharpest pencil in the box, he succeeds in bringing disaster upon his hapless employer with hilarious results.
		Another point of interest is the casting of the ubiquitous Charlie Hall in the silent version (appearing with Stan and Baba for the first time) as Finlayson's butler, a role than Fin proved that he was much better suited for in the remake, where he exhibited exaggerated reaction shots as only Fin could deliver.

	Mary Carr - Biography - Moviefone
		Carr was described as a "brisk young matron" who lived and dressed fashionably and approached each role with girlish enthusiasm.

		Carr appeared in only a handful of films, usually in fleeting bits (her name appears in the "list of casualties" scene in Gone With the Wind [1939]).

		The Boys are enlisted in a plot to relieve a certain Lord and Lady Rocburg (Jimmy Finlayson and Thelma Todd) of their riches.
		On the other hand, the nightclub set for a later scene is a truly impressive (and unusually high-budget) element, and a "thrill" end sequence is very funny, even if the special effects involved aren't quite believable.
		She works in a tavern there and her slimy boss (Finlayson, in one of his best performances) decides to steal the deed, passing his wife off as Mary Roberts.

		Like Stan, the great Jimmy Finlayson arrived as a Hollywood hopeful, after abandoning a touring British music hall skit in 1916.
		Although he started as one of the original Keystone Kops, he is now remembered fondly for the 33 appearances he made with L&H, perhaps the pinnacle coming in "Big Business", as he and the boys take turns to deliberately destroy a house and a car.
		Although Kennedy, like Jimmy Finlayson, began his career as an early frantic Keystone Kop, his signature 'slow burn' featured a steady build-up in response to irritation, finally exploding into a spluttering, hair-tugging volcano.

		Finlayson handles his comic villain combination particularly well in Way Out West, successfully combining both broadly funny actions and reactions, with sufficient villainy to be a reasonably threatening bad guy.
		There is a special place in the heart of every LandH buff for Jimmy Finlayson, fondly known as Fin.
