Both 'Hoi Polloi' and 'Half-Wit's Holiday' were Curly shorts. Joe was in 'Pies and Guys', a scene-by-scene remake of 'Hal-Wit's'. Curly-Joe never appeared in any shorts.

Answer: The stooges played every part themselves

Except for a brief appearance of an unidentifird man reading a newspaper, Moe, Larry and Shemp played themselves as well as their girlfriends Moella, Larraine, and Shempetta. Moe also played the girl's father, and Shemp and Larry played characters in a picture hanging on the wall that moves!
