Saps at Sea Present: Good Help is Hard to Find
John Field, our beloved Grand Sheik for over 3 decades, passed away on November 3, 2023. He made us laugh, and we'll miss him greatly.
Our February 17 gathering highlights the workplace misadventures of the Boys. We'll show the great BUSY BODIES (1933), featuring Stan and Babe working in a sawmill. Stills from this movie were later used in a series of workplace safety posters...!
Our Guest Comedians are a SURPRISE. Don't miss them!
Our own Rick Greene, Grand Sheik of L.A.'s Way Out West tent and former Saps Grand Sheik, will give a short preview of his upcoming book "Promotional Pandemonium! Selling Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy to Depression Era America". He'll also be selling his books on marketing Martin & Lewis and Abbott & Costello – "Marketing Mayhem!" and "Advertising Anarchy!"
After intermission, our own Russ Peck will perform music for THE FINISHING TOUCH (1928). Stan and Babe are hired to finish building a house. If they work fast enough, they'll get a $500 bonus!
Finally, TOWED IN A HOLE (1932). Fish peddlers Stan and Babe restore a boat! What could go wrong?
Remember our new starting time – 6 p.m. See you there!
Rebecca Gray
Grand Sheik
