The package claims that this DVD is a restored version transferred from the original 35 mm camera nitrate negative. Lies! It is transferred from a version that has been played a lot of times, kables, scratches, noisy sountrack & unsharp picture. The only reason to buy this DVD is that it also contains "The tree in a test tube" & "Laurel &Hardy Home Movies" The picture quality of these home movies is very good.

Oliver Norvell Hardy was an American film actor. With Stan Laurel, he formed half of perhaps the most famous comedy partnership in film history, Laurel & Hardy. Hardy was born Norvell Hardy in Harlem, Georgia. In his first film, Outwitting Dad, Hardy chose to be billed as O N Hardy, taking his fathers first name as his own. From that time, he referred to himself as Oliver Norvell Hardy & eventually became most commonly known as simply Oliver Hardy. For details of Hardys career see the Laurel & Hardy article.

He was the second of five children. His father, A J Jefferson, managed a number of different theatres, his mother was an actress. Arthur lived with his grandparents until the age of six when he then moved in with his father & began his education. As a child, Laurel liked the theatre so much that when he was nine he set up a theatre in the attic & used neighbourhood child as supporting actors. The first school he went to was in Gainford. He later went to school in Bishop Auckland, Tynemouth & in Glasgow, where he finished his education & went to work in the box office of the Metropole Theatre, which his father managed. His father encouraged him to get into theatre management but Stan had other plans. At sixteen, he went to Mr. E Pickard for a ‘try out’ in his theatre. The act went reasonably well. Although his father did not like the idea, he encouraged him in the field of comedy. Posters Of Utopia
