Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who are the dancers the Stooges meet when their dancing above interrupts the boys' rehearsal?

Answer: Flo, Mary and Shirley

The Stooges are ready to fight them for their breaking up their practice when they discover the pretty girls dancing.

2. What two words 'set off' Moe and Larry's pummeling of Curley in the skit?

Answer: Niagara Falls

'Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned, and step by step, inch by inch ...' By the way, check out how Larry flubs those lines in the act's finale!

3. Who is the talent agent they audition for?

Answer: Manny Weeks

The boys do two songs and try to finish the 'Niagara Falls' skit. Strangely, the girls do nothing but sit by. Manny finally gives them a chance, reluctantly.

4. Where do they perform?

Answer: Noazark Shipyards

Remember, the short came out in 1944, at the height of WW2, when ships were badly needed.

5. Who did they ultimately replace?

Answer: Castor and Earle revue

'Groaners' were part and parcel of the series. When the revue couldn't make it, the sextet took over.

6. What routine did the girls do?

Answer: Acrobatics and jumproping

They practiced tap at the start, but did somersaults and rope jumping at the shipyard. But they did it good!

7. What is the title of the Stooges' last skit?

Answer: At The Front

It's about Curley riding through No-Man's-Land, only to come back asking 'Hey fellas! How do you saddle a horse?' The other three answers are Stooge shorts.

8. Do the Stooges and the girls marry at the end?

Answer: Yes

Actually, the Stooges are ready to go when the girls club them on the head. But when we see them on their honeymoon drive, the boys look happy as can be.

9. Did they do the 'Slowly' routine at the very end?

Answer: Yes

They're heading for Niagara Falls, natch, so when Curley says it after reading a roadsign ... No, I'll let you discover this hilarious ending by yourself, when they run it on AMC Cable's Stooge program. (You'll thank me!)

10. What former co-star of the Stooges used the routine for her own long-running TV show?

Answer: Lucille Ball

Ball, as a blond, co-starred in 'Three Little Pigskins'. Years later, in her 'I Love Lucy' show, she used a version of the routine in the episode 'The Ballet', using 'Martha' instead of 'Niagara Falls'. Winers was 'Citizen Kane' star Dorothy Commingore.
