Moe Howard performed as a single in Philadelphia PA at the TLA (Theater of the Living Arts) on September 1974. Me and a girly friend cut classes to see the show. I took my camera with it's f 1:2 lense. I wouldn't consider disturbing him or the audience with a flash at such a memorable occasion.
Moe had a soothing but strong clear voice as he talked about the Three Stooges and some of their routine gags. It was his stage showmanship that shined during his routine explaining how three people were owed and paid by the same dollar bill. It was so funny that he received a standing ovation. You had to be there to see a true master of comedy at work.
My father, Roman Sr., later in the evening, told about the Three Stooge stage show he saw back in the 1940's at the Erlanger Theater, 21st and Market St. He also told me about their appearance in Atlantic City from way back then. Dad said their show was non-stop laughs and time flew by. One thing else he remembered was how well they harmonized when they sang. Such sweet memories.
So have a nice day Moses Harry Horwitz may you rest in laughter.
