The Vitaphone Comedy Collection: Volume 1 Roscoe "fatty" Arbuckle & Shemp Howard 

Roscoe is my to third great uncle! I was raised with a picture of him in our hallway! I would have loved to meet him!!

What a tragic and unjustified scandal he had to go through. You can tell just from his movies how gentle he actually was

Arbuckle was a funny man. So cool to hear him speak.

Yes Its nice to hear the voice of Roscoe Arbuckle. I followed his case and their was as injustice to this man .the papers made a fortune out of lies about him.

Unlike most silent comedy vets Arbuckle DID have a good voice! If he'd lived (and he died only a day after this film was completed!) he probably would have made a comeback in the early sound period.

Whoa. That voice is wonderful. I love Mr Arbuckle. It's so sad that he was taken from us so soon.

Roscoe was a comic genius , a kind cultured man so sad he was ruined by the lies of many.

This film was the last ever made by Roscoe Arbuckle, though not the last of his pictures to be released in theatres. He had acted in this and other short films for Vitaphone in hopes of reviving his movie career, which was derailed by scandal in the early 1920s. His final day of work on the picture, shot in Brooklyn, New York, was June 28, 1933. That evening, he went to a party with his wife at a popular Manhattan restaurant to celebrate his anniversary. In the early hours of the following morning, Arbuckle died in his sleep of a heart attack. He was 46. This film was released posthumously in November of that year.

That’s Shemp playing one of the bad guys

funny no one has mentioned here Lionel Stander who plays the tough guy. Stander was terrific in a large number of 30's and 40's films.

I always imagined his voice was sort of high pitched. Sort of like Curly Howard's voice when I watched the silent films, but he had a much deeper voice. They say that many silent film stars lost their contracts when films started to talk because their voice didn't match their character on silent screen.

Died right in the middle of a come back, years after the media and a prosecutor smeared him and destroyed his career. RIP.

I never would have thought Arbuckle had such an interesting voice if only they would have recorded Mabel Normand's voice ..sigh

What's really sad is with the voice he had- ne could have made the transition to talkies no problem.

Good to see Shemp away from his brother Moe and Larry Fine.Don't get me wrong, I love the Stooges, but every once in a while, I like to see solo performances from comedy greats like Oliver Hardy.

Fatty Arbuckle was great in talkies too. It's a pity he died before he could make his debut in sound feature films, he would've been as successful as in his silent films.

Roscoe Arbuckle had a lovely mellifluous speaking voice, I am surprised to learn that could sing beautifully

I SURE NEED DOUGH hahahahahaha, he was the real best of all time

I didn't know that Fatty made any sound comedies. Thanks for posting!

In his youth, Shemp was a pretty good looking guy.

"keep the tie straight" *SLAP!

0:27 You can see him out of breath here, just having a conversation. Poor guy.

Well I’ll be it’s SHEMP....

It feels a bit surreal in hearing Roscoe Arbuckle talk. Nevertheless, he had a terrific voice!

damn shame he left too early though hope he somehow lived on & inspired others over the years-

The voice would adapted to talkies but I don't know if his comedy style would have. I see him having more success producing and directing movies and mentoring young talent.

Started watching, wish there was more.

At 2:43 the dough blob is on the door. At 2:48 the dough blob is thrown against the door. the scenes were filmed in a different order. Just sayin'

Great fidelity.

"Ernie, you wanna buy an eight???"

Roscoe was a genius.

There is even a Three Stooges slap av 1:48

One of those two guys that came in through the window, the taller one...I swear that he is a certain recent character actor, he guest-starred in "The X Files" as "Donnie Faster", a fetish serial killer! Wouldn't make sense with the lapse of time, but his face and voice are a dead ringer!

Odd to see Shemp in other films away from Moe and Larry.

It makes you wonder he would have been a great fourth member of The three stooges of course that's slap was the foreshadowing what shemp would go through courtesy of his little brother moe

Never noticed that Shemp was so short.

He sounds about what I expected him to sound like

yeah. that's pretty much how i expected Fatty to sound like.

And Lionel Stander!

El matón de menor estatura, es uno de los tres chiflados... Adivinan cuál??

Will B. Good.

Love Fatty Arbuckle.

any one who makes millions of dollars is a success , and back then that was the best money ever

He could have made it as a sound comedian - died a few years later

What year is this?

I am listening to podcast about Murder accusation against him .

Does arbuckle kinda remind anyone of Farley?

Is that Max Baer the boxer as one of the bad guys?

Funny how Shemp Howard is remembered, but the greater star Lionel Stander is not even mentioned. Shame.

"Fatty" wasn't very fat by today's standards.

Free Fatty

Why did the thug (Max Stander) have no pants on?

It is Max from "Hart to Hart" Lionel "Communist" Stander.

This was horrifyingly bad. And when was it discovered that throwing stuff in people's faces was funny?

What year is this?
