Myrt and Marge (film)

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]

Myrt Spear's touring vaudeville revue is full of talent and bound for Broadway, but low on funds. Conniving and lecherous producer Mr. Jackson helps the show so he can romance the young star, Marge Minter.

Myrt, and Marge's boyfriend Eddie Hanley, step in to save the revue and Marge. Mullins and his helpers are stagehands with hopes to join the show, but mostly deal with the antics of backstage crasher Bonnie.
