Larry Fine: Moe Howard
built 230 days ago
The trio, Moe, Larry and Shemp, first opened on Broadway in A Night in Venice and later appeared in 20th Century-Fox's comedy Soup to Nuts (1930). The rest of Larry's career would parallel Moe's. When the team left MCM in 1934, the Stooges were comprised of Moe, Larry and Curly. They went on to star in two-reel comedies for Columbia Pictures, where the team remained for 24 years.

[I]n the earliest Stooge two-reelers (and occasionally the later ones) Larry indulges in utterly nutty behavior. He would liven up a scene by improvising some random remark or ridiculous action. and see if he's ripe!" In Disorder in the Court, a tense courtroom scene is interrupted by Larry breaking into a wild Tarzan yell. Of course, after each of his outbursts, Moe would gruffly discipline him. It is said that Larry had developed a callus on one side of his face from being slapped innumerable times by Moe over the years.

Moe, Larry and Curly join the Woman Haters Club, pledging their money and vowing that they'll never take a wife. Larry soon reneges when he secretly marries his sweetheart named Mary. Larry takes his bride with him on a sales trip/honeymoon and tries to hide his marriage from Moe and Curly, who happen to be on the train. Mary learns of Larry's secret and suckers both Moe and Curly into romancing her. She then tells them that Larry's her husband and their deal is off because everyone cheated, then shoves Moe and Curly out the train window.

In many of the Stooge shorts, Fine did more reacting than acting, staying in the background and providing the voice of reason between the extreme characterizations of Moe and Curly. (in the short Three Loan Wolves, Larry was pressed into service to replace an ailing Curly, who was unable to perform as the lead stooge.) After Curly left the act, Larry shared screen time equally with his two partners.
