Gents Without Cents
Gents Without Cents is a 1944 short subject directed by Jules White and starring American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard). It is the 81st of 190 Stooge shorts released by Columbia Pictures.
Plot
The Stooges are vaudevillians rehearsing a comedy sketch in their apartment. Faced with the obstacle of noisy neighbors upstairs disrupting their rehearsals, the trio unexpectedly encounters three talented dancers, Flo, Mary, and Shirley (played by acrobatic dancers Lindsay Bourquin, Laverne Thompson, and Betty Phares, who are billed simply as "Lindsay, Laverne, Betty"). A fortuitous friendship ensues, leading the group to seek representation from talent agent Manny Weeks.
