The Silver Screen Oasis

Thanks Heavens for YouTube!

I found these fantastic clips of the 1931 short "The Stolen Jools", which feature many familiar faces in the search of Norma Shearer's stolen pearls. I hope you enjoy the clips as I did and what's best, the whole cast is listed after it ends.

I have this as part of a Gary Cooper box set which the "old" American Movie Classics network released years ago. Naturally, Coop is the "jewel" I look for! Hee!

It's also an extra on one of the Laurel & Hardy collections I have. I suppose that since the short features so many stars, it will find its way to the DVD collections of many of them.

It's also known as The Slippery Pearls and is everywhere, it seems. I first saw it on the Treeline Films Comedy Classics 50 film box set.

What makes this one so special to me is that any time I go back to it I recognise more people. It's like a 20 minute proof that I'm still learning.
