Speaking of Stooges, as we do often here: The fellow at the right in the photo above is comic Ted Healy. Initially, the Three Stooges were Healy's Stooges but they broke off from him and went off on their own. Healy appeared in movies with and then without them up until his untimely death in 1937 at the age of 41.
How he died is one of those Hollywood mysteries. There are three or four different versions around, at least one or two involving murder. One of the times I visited Larry Fine out at the Motion Picture Country Home, I asked him how Healy had died. He said, "I don't know but I was glad he did." From that, one might infer that the Stooges did not get along well with Mr. Healy, might not one? In any case, you can find various theories strewn across that repository of gossip and urban myths, Wikipedia.
Reporter Larry Harnisch is particularly facile at finding gems of info in old newspapers, especially old Los Angeles newspapers. The papers probably aren't 100% accurate either but they're a lot more accurate (usually) than Wikipedia and they are reporting data that was available at the time of whatever event they're covering. Harnisch has been doing a newspaper inquiry into the death of Ted Healy, if only to debunk some of the more inconsistent accounts. Here's the first entry and if you click ahead, you'll find later ones.
You'll also find other interesting stuff on this website. Here's a link to a 1913 newspaper article about a proposed law to prevent Japanese folks from purchasing property in California. There are folks out there today who'd like to revive this idea but apply it to Muslims.
