Their Start
A vaudeville act called “Ted Healy and His Stooges” had its beginnings in 1922, and it was there that the Three Stooges first appeared. Larry, a violinist, joined the act after the first two members, brothers Moe and Shemp. In 1930, when the Stooges were without their leader Healy, 20th Century Fox offered them a studio contract. Since the Stooges, in Healy’s eyes, were his employees, he took offense and had Fox rescind the offer.
