Someone recently posted a very nice Ben Turpin lobby on NSFGE, and
along with it, pointed out the depressing fact that he'd be almost
entirely unknown now.
While I'm very familiar with Turpin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy etc from
the BBC in my childhood (WC Fields I had to track down, they didn't
put on for the kids), I have no recollection of Wheeler and Woolsey,
and as far as I'm know first became aware of them through your posts.
Can you recommend a film to track down Glenn?
Read today that Britain's Morecambe and Wise were influenced by them.
Be interesting to see how much, other than the tall funny one with the
glasses dying too young.

Regarding Wheeler and Woolsey -
Am I the only one on this list who has any material on this comic duo?
I don't seem to recall anyone else talk about collecting them.
