Short Film Deaths[]

  • The Midnight Patrol (1933) [Officer Stanley Laurel]: Shot to death (off-camera), along with Oliver Hardy, by their superior officer Frank Brownlee in the police station, after they mistakenly arrest him and he gets fed up with their incompetence. We only see Frank firing after Stan and Oliver walk off-screen, after which the other officers remove their hats as Frank orders them to "Send for the coroner." (Played for comic effect.)

Noteworthy Connections[]

  • Ex-husband of Lois Neilson
  • Ex-husband of Virginia Ruth Roberts (divorced, remarried, divorced again)
  • Husband of Ida Kitaeva
