Did Roscoe Arbuckle's terrible court case predicament have anything to do with Stan Laurel (then Jefferson) turning down Joe Rock's studio offer to pair with Oliver Hardy - when he had them both on his books? Highly likely.......Find out about that and many more other background secrets, professional and personal, in the two NEW books "ARTHUR AND NORVELLE: THE FORGOTTEN AND REAL LEGEND OF LAUREL AND HARDY" on Amazon! part of the "Decoding Laurel and Hardy Project": [e-mail]
