Movie musical Babes in Toyland opens, featuring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as comic relief.

The Laurel and Hardy comedy team began performing together in 1927 and appeared in more than 100 films, including 27 features, by 1950. In some films, like Babes in Toyland, they provided comic counterpoint to the story’s main action, but they were best known for their slapstick comedies, like The Music Box (1932), in which they played incompetent movers hired to move a piano to an upstairs apartment.
