The Three Stooges Collection, Volume 1: 1934-1936 (Disc 2)

Available at Amazon.

Ants in the Pantry, directed by Preston Black, 1936 (Wiki).
Movie Maniacs, directed by Del Lord, 1936 (Wiki).
Half Shot Shooters, directed by Preston Black, 1936 (Wiki).
Disorder in the Court, directed by Preston Black, 1936 (Wiki).
A Pain in the Pullman, directed by Preston Black, 1936 (Wiki).
False Alarms, directed by Del Lord, 1936 (Wiki).
Whoops, I'm an Indian!, directed by Del Lord, 1936 (Wiki).
Slippery Silks, directed by Preston Black, 1936 (Wiki).

The second disc of the first DVD set of Three Stooges shorts feature a number of firsts: the first appearance of Vernon Dent as a supporting player in Half Shot Shooters; he would appear in more Stooges films than any other actor, and the first full fledged pie fight in a Stooges film takes place in Slippery Silks.

Disorder in the Court, one of the four Three Stooges shorts that have been in the public domain for many years, is also included here. Hopefully, if you needed it on DVD badly enough, this is the set you bought, and not a cheapo one you could find at any dollar store.

Highly recommended. The boys are starting to find their groove at this point.
