Myrt and Marge is a 1933 American Pre-Code Universal Studios feature film, starring Myrtle Vail and Donna Damerel. The film is noteworthy today because it co-stars Ted Healy and his Stooges, shortly before the trio split from him and became the Three Stooges (Curly Howard, Moe Howard and Larry Fine). The team included Bonnie Bonnell, who was a short-lived female Stooge.^[1]

Synopsis

Film adaptation of the popular 1930s radio serial. Myrt Spear's (Myrtle Vail) touring vaudeville revue is full of talent and bound for Broadway, but low on funds. Conniving and lecherous producer Mr. Jackson (Thomas Jackson) helps the show so he can romance the young star, Marge Minter (Donna Damerel).

Myrt, and Marge's boyfriend Eddie Hanley (Eddie Foy, Jr.), step in to save the revue and Marge. Ted Healy, Moe, Larry and Curly are stagehands with hopes to join the show, but mostly deal with the antics of backstage crasher Bonnie. Also carrying over from the radio show was the comic-relief "pansy" character Clarence, played by Ray Hedge.
