THREE STOOGES: JOE DeRITA
Black and white publicity photograph of The Three Stooges dressed as backers in a castle.
Photograph signed: "Curly Joe". B/w, 10x8. Shown with Moe Howard and Larry Fine (not signing) in a scene from one of their movies. DeRITA (1909-1993), a former vaudevillian, made his film debut in The Doughgirls (1944). He joined forces with Moe Howard and Larry Fine in 1958, when the classic comedy of the Three Stooges enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. Moe and Larry hired DeRita as the third Stooge to replace Joe Besser. DeRita was dubbed "Curly Joe" because of his resemblance to Moe's brother Curly Howard, a former Stooge. By the time DeRita joined the act, the boisterous pie-in-the-face, poke-in-the eye humor had toned down and he played a more passive third stooge.The television release of Three Stooges short films in the late 1950s however, introduced the wacky group to a new audience, spawning film projects and personal appearances. DeRita was the last surviving Stooge. Fine condition.
