A series of 48, no. 9
This famous partnership started in 1927. Laurel had been playing in two-reel comedies and Hardy had been a vaudeville star for some years. Their first talkie "Jailbirds" made their name as inimitable comedians, and they have since worked together in many successes. These include "Fra Diavolo" (in which also starred Thelma Todd, another M-G-M star in this series, No. 4) "Fraternally Yours," "The Private Life of Oliver the Eighth" and "Hollywood Party".

The Laurel and Hardy Museum in Stan Laurel's home town of Ulverston, Cumbria. A small but perfectly formed museum were the staff are very welcoming. I visited about 10 years ago and found it to be a real treat. I remember looking at the correspondance Stan kept with fans and being reminded of an old TV documentary that showed Stan welcoming fans at his Hollywood home into the 1960's. Link.
The very modest house in which Stan Laurel was born in Ulverston can be seen on this fans website. Link.

It always suprised me how Laurel and Hardy were called different things around the world. Link.
