Private lecture - "Babes in Toyland - The Laurel and Hardy classic"

  • Nassau County, NY (map)

Attendees will see the first and original Long Island program of this film. Also known as “March of the Wooden Soldiers”, attendees will learn the back story to the making of this holiday classic including special effects, on set accidents and the incident that eventually led to “The Boys” leaving Hal Roach studios. Film highlights will be shown after the Power Point presentation in a colorized version (as Stan Laurel wanted the film to be shot in color). They will see why this is one of Laurel and Hardy’s greatest films and how this holiday classic still entertains children and adults today! Insight, laughs, music and a rousing finish make for a wonderful afternoon of fun. Original soundtrack music is included as is an autograph, memorabilia and book display.
