@@笹原煌太 2:14 The Three Stooges Slapping each other and Larry punches Curly and Curly going:Woo Woo Woo.😁😁😂😂

Wolfgang Gerhard -- perfect, but not Sig Ruman. Herman Bing.

Thank you for catching that! I've corrected the list. All the best!

I posted about Guy Kibbee and Irvin Cobb up above before I saw your list. It looks like you nailed them all.

Thank you!

Yep, you got 'em. I'd wondered about Messrs Bing and Cobb.

they died but it's okay. BUT TYEY DIED BECAUSE OF A OLD AGE ABD PLUS THE STOOGES WHERE BORN WAAAAAY BEFORE MY GRANDMA

...

add chaplin, arbuckle and keaton and you have a wild party!

I'm surprised Rita Haworth was never involed isnr she Mexican

The Stooges (along with Ted Healy) and Laurel & Hardy DID appear together in Hollywood Party (1934).

he was part owner of the pittsburgh pirates in the 1950s.

@@drafe007 You seem to have him confused with Bing Crosby. However, his son, Joe Jr., was the Pirates GM during their World Series championships of 1960 and 1971, the latter was when they assembled the first all black starting lineup. Joe Sr. had to have been belt buckling proud of his son, seeing he loved baseball more than anything else.

+Allan Stark I agree! "Talkies" were relatively new and so they had to bring in Broadway stage actors to fill the rolls. That is why stars of the day were so "big" and identifiable. Most of the silent stars were doomed! Indeed Pola Negri (Barbara Apolonia Chalupiec) had a Polish accent so thick as to be barely intelligible. Gene Kelly's "Singing in the Rain" shows this hilariously well with Jean Hagen's Lina Lamont! Unfortunately, somebody invented "The Method " and acting and actors became quite small.

i wouldn't say that "the method" is entirely to blame for that. I will say that had strasberg's interpretation been given complete prominence over that of stella adler's or others, acting and actors would be far worse off in my opinion. but in general i think method acting has helped the craft more than hurt. if anything i think more people may have gotten away from it means to truly act, although that's just from the outside lookin' in, so i don't know. i could be totally wrong.

A lot of this is due to plastic surgery, airbrushing and other widespread practices that reduce and eliminate idiosyncratic appearance quirks. They're interchangeable because most of them went to the same handful of surgeons to get their nosejobs and botox fishlips.

I find that's more true of actresses than of actors, and least true of comedians. All the Hollywood actresses look alike, but there's only one Fluffy!

same with Max Schreck who played Nosferatu. In real life he had a high pitched whisper voice and a lisp. That's why he was never recast after Nosferatu

Definitely the Disney version was better, the gags were better and the caricatures were more believable.

I preferred the Warners one the best, but they all borrowed from the Mintz cartoon.

Good one also with the conga beat and gable chasing the blond only to find out it's groucho . Don't make toons like that any more . One of the best !

Just thinking that.

I ADORE ‘Hollywood Steps Out’! 💙💙💙

"Owwww-chh"

+Martin Meers "I vant so much to be alone..."

They also show her with enormous feet; for some reason the myth of huge feet got attached to her.

Her shoes were a size 7, in an age when most women's feet were smaller, say a 4 or 5.

eiricmacbean I have size 10.5 feet. Size 7 is not a huge boat-like foot, lol

Noone would care to make a cartoon of today's "stars". Noone has cared.

I think you answered my question of who that was after George Raft. I don't even know who Hugh Herbert is - must find out.

***** thanks

you've reminded me to finally look up more about Mr. Herbert. My ejumacation about old movies is incomplete.

The Gods Right-Hand Man huh, interesting

Man-I literally just posted this same comment...hadn’t even seen yours ‘til just now! Great minds!

Yeah I mean except for the blatantly racist black character

The famous profile?

John Barrymore, to be precise. He and my grandfather hung out at the Art Students League of NY in the 20s and 30s. Barrymore was a decent caricature artist.

Tallulahs method of eating peas had to be an inside joke knowing her reputation....

I wonder if that's supposed to be a sexist symbolism of women watching wieght?

@@jacobitewiseman3696 No she actually use to brag about eating nothing but fruits and veggies no one forced her she stayed dieting because she wanted to keep her slim figure.

@@softiebbybunny2317 I was actually joking anyways.

@@jacobitewiseman3696 I agree with you, women watching their weight is pretty funny.

Susan DA, it's Ned Sparks.

character actor Ned Sparks

Sorry, but a smack in the face doesn't describe the sadness and shame of that Step'n Fetchit watermelon scene. More like a double punch in the solar plexus combined with a sinking feeling in the gut. For all of the external artistry and "civilized" social behavior, that was racial atavism at its worst.

I was thinking the same thing with the Step'n Fetchit parts ( took me totally by surprise).

They just cant help themselves. Rascism was religion back then, and still is

Shit in New England their 10 plus at places like junkyard dogs, or the orient point ferry

I recognized Bill Bojangles - or I think it is him.

That's not Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, but rather Stepin Fetchit.

Thank you

funkeekatt, nice job on the Merry-Go-Round. I guess that could be Sydney Greenstreet first -- better than any of my guesses but I didn't think Sydney was that bald or had prickly hair like Curly Howard. Second is definitely George Raft with the coin-flipping. Then definitely Laughton (as Captain Bligh), West, Durante, Gable, Arliss (with his trademark monocle) and Beery. Laurel and Hardy. I think the woman jumping around while Shirley Temple is singing is probably Fanny Brice. We know who's selling hot dogs...The pitcher is obviously Joe E. Brown then the Marx Brothers and the Stooges. The baseball umpire with the odd accent is Herman Bing. Is Edward Arnold the guy ringing the dinner bell? Step'n Fetchit can't be mistaken. Eating the peas are John Barrymore, Hugh Herbert, Edna May Oliver, Greta Garbo, and George Raft, then down the table Ned Sparks and Katherine Hepburn with her celery. Behind Martha Raye singing, that's Clark Gable again on the right, but who is on the left with the round glasses? Eddie Cantor, it appears. In the final dance scene who's the first guy dancing -- large guy with big lips? He's the only one I really don't know. (Update: I think the large man is Eugene Pallette.) Ned Sparks again, Step'n Fetchit again, W. C. Fields again, Garbo again with the huge feet, Edward G. Robinson, and Boris Karloff.

okay but exactly was the black guy

DatGoldenBear That's Clark Gable, you mean? That's the way how they set/animated him :)

Tthanoneof42.

among other people lol

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thats hilarious, oh what you don't know.

Treemeadow The studios would have kept today's stars from shooting their mouths off.

+Suvi L don't forget the good old days back when there was hardly any people of color and the few that were there had to vhange there name and play demeaning roles just to get a foot in the door.the good old days back when to describe a native American you wound have to say injun or indian whivh would make you twice as wrong.

Lord Blackburn political correctness is a bitch.

macsnafu Here's some names: Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, W.C. Fields, Fanny Brice, Shirley Temple, Step'n Fetchin, The Marx Brothers, and Mae West.

Maybe Cartoons should be Poking Fun at the Big Ass Kardashian Sisters. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

His legacy is infamous and shameful in the African-American community

Beloved my ass!

Now it's "Charles who?" while Disney's ghost owns the world.

Yet Walt Disney successfully reinvented Oswald Rabbit as Mickey Mouse just as Jay Ward reinvented Crusader Rabbit and Rags the Tiger as Rocky and Bullwinkle! ☺ ☺

Though Walt never technically owned Oswald. That was Mintz (at the time). Yes it was unfair what he did to Walt but, legally Mintz could take the "creator" away from the character he created if you don't do things their way. Which was why Disney eventually lost Oswald. He (Mintz) wanted a 20% cut in the budget and most of the staff went with Mintz. Walt refused to sign, and lost Oswald.

Stephen Holloway you are correct. You saved me from writing this info. The man paid the money, it was his property. But a Disney combined Oswald with his mice characters and made Mickey!

yeah, but they got him back. ;) :D

Some faces are familiar, some not. It'd be nice to have captions identifying each.

R C Nelson baseball pitcher is Joe E. Brown. Hot Dog sales is W.C. Fields.

You can see all the stars, some that you recognize...

Katherine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Boris Karloff, Edward G Robinson, etc etc:)

I saw a lot of these types of shorts on the Disney Channel as a kid in the 80s. Of course I didn't know who the stars were, but at least it helped plant the seed for later. :)

I'll just Google it. Besides I'd rather learn about

History than the history of Hollywood

Boomer here . Seen some of these before they were reruns . Getting old , but the toons aren't. Don't make toons like they used to . I'd love to see Yosemite Sam vs spongebob lol . Love these Hollywood toons thanks !

It was made back when you could do thst and no one complained about how it was un-PC. Least it's not Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat.

@@canaisyoung3601 black people complained then just like now....we had our own black newspapers we could complain to

Dante 12690 Yes, since he heard "Come in and get it!" From the distance, so that's Step'n Fetchin.

Sam Judge It's the way how the animators/creators designed/makes it.

@Duane Mercer or its based on a comical actor that's personally seems dumb witted. Even if this is a stereotype of demographics, the short is making fun of other celebrities as well, as it's a comedy. I know a little bit of the actor with the watermelon but I'm assuming that he's actually did number of comical shorts.
