They actually could have edited "Half Wits Holiday" to include Curly in the pie fight. They had done it before and would do it again to include Shemp in films after Shemp's sudden death.
They did. They just spliced in scenes from In The Sweet Pie And Pie, making it look like Curly appeared in the final pie fight scene. They also edited in footage from In The Sweet Pie And Pie, Half Wits Holiday, and Vagabond Loafers.
I remember reading on the back of a VHS case of A Three Stooges tape that had this film that during filming, Curly suffered a stroke and was unable to continue. This was his last appearance as one of the Three Stooges.

Having only Moe and Larry there in the end of the short is so uncomfortable to me, especially remembering his stroke. An unfortunate end to a great man.
