Laurel And Hardy

Laurel and Hardy started performing in the early 1920s. They acted together in 107 films. In their final years of prime, they took a long tour to Ireland in 1953. “The love and affection we found that day at Cobh was simply unbelievable. There were hundreds of boats blowing whistles and mobs and mobs of people screaming on the docks. We just couldn’t understand what it was all about. And then something happened that I can never forget. All the church bells in Cobh started to ring out our theme song ‘Dance of the Cuckoos’ and Babe (Oliver Hardy) looked at me and we cried. I’ll never forget that day. Never,” Laurel said about the tour.
