Malicia En El Palacio - Los 3 Chiflados a Colores

The Three Stooges began with the artistic ambitions of two young Jewish brothers born in Brooklyn, New York. Their names were Samuel and Harry Moses Horwitz (Howard, originally by stage name), and they studied plumbing (Samuel) and electricity (Harry) at the Baron de Hirsch School of Arts and Crafts in New York. But the Horwitzes' true love was the theater. In 1909, Harry managed to break into the film world, being hired as a messenger boy for actors during filming at the Vitagraph studios. His insistence on being allowed to act led him to appear as an extra in commercial films, alongside great silent film stars of the time: John Bunny, Walter Johnson, Flora Finch, Herbert Rawlinson, and Earle William. That same year, Harry met a young man named Ted Healy. Healy was also interested in becoming a comedian, and after befriending Horwitz, they looked for work together. Three years later, they were hired to participate in Annette Kellerman's water dance act as "dancers." They worked there throughout the summer of 1912. However, the act ended tragically when one of the dancers died in an accident. Harry's brother, Samuel, decided to follow in his footsteps and, together, try to break into show business, at least as amateurs. The two brothers began performing amateur vaudeville acts, taking on the pseudonyms that would make them famous: Harry Moses became Moe, and Samuel went by the pseudonyms that would make them famous: Harry Moses became Moe, and Samuel went by Shemp. The latter's nickname came from his mother, with a strong European accent, pronouncing "Shemp" when she tried to call him "Sam." In 1923, Moe Howard met Ted Healy by chance, whom he hadn't seen for years. Healy had already achieved what the Horwitz brothers had hoped for: to become a professional comedian. At the time, Moe was working in a Brooklyn theater, starring in a vaudeville act. Since Ted had vacancies in his act, he approached Moe about joining his company, a suggestion that Moe immediately accepted. Later, Moe's brother, Shemp, joined the band. During 1924 and 1925, Moe and Shemp were part of a supporting comedy act in Healy's show called the "Syncopated Toes." They were so successful that Healy renamed their act Ted Healy and the Racketeers. Shortly thereafter, he changed the name of the group to Ted Healy and his Stooges when Shemp and Moe began to gain prominence. Other names they were known by during this time were Ted Healy and his Three Southern Gentlemen and Ted Healy and his Gang. By this time, the two aspiring actors had already anglicized their surnames from Horwitz to Howard, and from then on, they were known as Shemp and Moe Howard. As you can see, the group's name had also been coined, using the noun "Stooges," which in the Spanish-speaking world was translated as "wackos." Healy and his Stooges worked together for over ten years. After a short period out of the show business, Moe returned with Healy and his brother Shemp in time to witness the arrival of a new member in 1928: another young Jewish man named Louis Feinberg, who would take the stage name Larry Fine ("Larry"). In addition to working in vaudeville, Healy and his Stooges managed to break into film with the 1930 comedy "Soup to Nuts," from Fox (a precursor to 20th Century Fox). Shortly after, in the middle of "The Passing Show of 1932," Healy left the show, taking Moe and Larry with him, but Shemp decided to remain on the show. Later, Shemp starred in countless comedies on stage and in films, was a supporting actor in numerous series, and was signed to RKO, MGM, Universal, and Monogram Pictures, among others. Healy and his Stooges were missing Shemp's talent. Moe suggested to Ted that they incorporate the younger of the Howard brothers, Jerome Lester Horwitz, nicknamed "Babe," into the act. Babe was 31 years old and sported long, curly brown hair and a huge mustache. When Healy first saw him, he suggested that his future role could benefit from a good shave, to which Babe agreed, shaving his head clean but keeping the mustache for a while. Thus was born the character of Curly ("Curly Curls"), with which posterity would forever remember him. Healy, Moe, Larry, and Curly appeared in ten films for MGM (seven in 1933 and three more in 1934) and one for Universal in 1933. One of their most famous films was Dancing Lady, starring Clark Gable and Joan Crawford. The classic trio's first appearance, with Moe, Larry, and Curly, was in the 1934 musical short film Woman Haters, known in Latin America as Los odiamujeres.
