Well Mutton Heads,

Here is installment #9 in the Women of the Three Stooges Series.
This is Ladies in Transition Pt. 2.

Tonight covers two ladies whose time with the Stooges spanned the 3rd Stooge
divides.

First is one who spanned the divide between Curly and Shemp (Kitty McHugh).
Many of you will remember her as Curly's homely hook up from
"Hoi Poli" . She then shows up much later in a couple of Shemp shorts
and demonstrates her awesome skills at delivering triple slaps and a mean
right cross. Here are her features:


8/29/1935 HOI POLLOI Moe, Larry and Curly Duchess, Curly's ugly dance partner
3/6/1952 LISTEN, JUDGE Moe, Larry and Shemp Mrs. Henderson
9/4/1952 GENTS IN A JAM Moe, Larry and Shemp Mrs. McGruder

Lady number two spanned the divide between Shemp and Joe (Connie Cezan/Cezon).
Many of you will remember her as "Slick Chick" in "Tricky Dicks". A couple of items of
interest about Connie:
1. In the Shemp shorts she is billed as Connie Cezan, in the Joe shorts she is Connie Cezon.
2. She was a double for Betty Davis in a movie.
3. In her last Stooge appearance - "Triple Crossed" - she never faces the camera. She stands in
for the role Mary Ainslee played in "He Cooked His Goose". They even use Mary's voice.

Here are her features:

5/1/1952 CORNY CASANOVAS Moe, Larry and Shemp Mabel
2/5/1953 UP IN DAISY'S PENTHOUSE Moe, Larry and Shemp Daisy Flowers
5/7/1953 TRICKY DICKS Moe, Larry and Shemp Slick Chick
9/6/1956 HOT STUFF Moe, Larry and Shemp Uranian officer
10/17/1957 RUSTY ROMEOS Moe, Larry and Joe Mabel
2/2/1959 TRIPLE CROSSED Moe, Larry and Joe Belle, new footage

Our next installment will wrap up this series as we explore the Besser Babes.

So please do enjoy....you bunch of buzzards!!
