| | Laurel & Hardy on 9.5mm |
 | | It is unlikely that modern generations who have been introduced to the comedy pair of Laurel and Hardy via television and video, or even those people who still remember them from their famous pre-war cinema and post war variety days, realise that Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy actually started out in films independantly. |
 | | Incidentally it was in the first film for G.M. Anderson in 1920 titled "The Lucky Dog" that, by chance, Oliver Hardy appeared in the supporting cast. |
 | | Oliver Hardy died after heart trouble in 1957, while Stan Laurel struggled on, in poor health and with financial problems, particularly alimony for a number of ex-wives, until 1965. |
