It was arguably inevitable, therefore, that the boys would be given cameos in more movies going forward, and sure enough at the close of 1931, they popped up again in what, to theatre audiences, would likely have been a surprise appearance in On the Loose, a picture from the Roach series starring ZaSu Pitts and Thelma Todd. In the early thirties, Laurel and Hardy were incredibly bankable, box office certainties, and an undeniably major asset to the Hal Roach Studios. Then, the following year, Stan and Babe made a fleeting appearance in 1931’s charity fundraiser, The Stolen Jools, and, once again, their performance, small though it was, stood out as being arguably the highlight of the entire movie.
