As an Edinburgh lad and a huge Laurel and Hardy fan, this is just magical to see.

This Michigander enjoyed this video just as much as one of their films. Not at all. Just kidding. It was great! Cheers!

I would love to have seen these in real life. I never grow tired of their comedy, the very best

It's sad that my grandmother never made it to the KZread generation. Should would be so thrilled to see these clips. She would tell me how they loved going to the theatre when the boys came out with a new picture. Love L& H Miss you gramma. Sweet memories.

Two comedy giants bringing sunshine to the masses.

I can't express enough how much i love these 2. They are comedy platinum and you know they were something special when you can show a child one of their movies or shorts 90 years later and they are in hysterics.

Niemand konnte sich der Komik dieser beiden entziehen. Stan und Ollie besaßen das seltene Talent, ein Lächeln in jedes Gesicht zu zaubern. Echte Meister ihres Fachs.

Over 30 years before Beatlemania there was Laurel and Hardie-mania!

They arrived from Newcastle and went on to Glasgow. At Edinburgh Castle they visited the Scottish National War Memorial. At the Playhouse, Hardy made a speech, after which "Laughing Gravy" was shown. When they went to Glasgow, the press of the crowd at Central Station caused a stone balustrade at the Hotel entrance to collapse, injuring six people slightly. I found all these details in press reports on the British Newspaper Archive website.

It's wonderful the boys got to experience the love fans world wide had for them.

Hardy's mother used to visit a clairvoyant in Decatur. When he was 13, she took her son with her and asked for a prediction. "One day he will be famous throughout the world" she said. In an interview later in life, Ollie said in an interview: "It's good to know my mother saw that prediction come true."

Mature men with genius and not a bit of filthy language or insinuation. Their whole ploy was innocence. What joy they gave the world, those two men.

Cant help but smiling whenever I see these two.

Sometimes I feel this world is hard to live.but seeing Laurel&Hardly and their films and many more things, the world is quite interesting.

Amazing.....they made very few full length movies, and to be THIS POPULAR for only making 20 minute long shorts is unreal. Legendary talents......

From Glasgow. I never knew that Edinburgh people had a sense of humour. Well, you learn something new everyday. Well done Stan and Ollie bringing the best out of them.

This footage reminds me of the original The 39 Steps. There were the crowds, the scene at Waverley station, the striding of two men into stage at the theatre as if Mr Memory Man is about to be introduced (with the jaunty music mimicking the original), and somewhere springs from the crowds Robert Donat as Richard Hannay dodging the clutches of the tall coppers. Where was I? But seriously, this footage is splendid, it truly is. The swarm of the crowds to greet L&H in the flesh is quite moving in a way - they just about behaved, the crowds did, when you consider how few policemen were there acting as stewards. Probably L&H were not expecting such crowds! Maybe some folk back then might have sniffed at such passion for celebrities such as L&H - but in 1932, these crowds detected real (and highly talented) stars, and they arrived, the comic duo did, on their doorstep. It was not just a case of a light presenting itself in what you might say, in comparison to our times, a colourless world: these people loved Laurel And Hardy. And God love 'em all.

Love these beautiful rare clips of laurel and hardy doing they're UK tour just wonderful

Fantastic footage of our two comic heroes Amazing scenes

Well "That's another fine mess you got us into"!! Superb. Such close friends. Just makes me smile. What better two comedians to have during The Great Depression era. Wonderful

Amazing the crowd's, now Edinburgh like that most weeks truly legends.Thanks for down loading,its great to know the meaning of the greatest came to bonny Scotland

They were amazed at the reception they received when they arrived in the UK...they had no idea how popular they were there

There are no additional casts besides Laurel & Hardy, such as Billy Gilbert, Edgar Kennedy, James Finlayson, Charlie Hall, and Walter Long. All these additional cast that I mentioned are also in the silent films in 1928 and early 1929.

This is amazing to think they had a performance in our Edinburgh play house so glad they got amazing welcome so wished I had been alive or any my relatives seen them I bet they would have awesome stories of this.☹☹😢😢✌✌✌💙💙💙

They were the rock stars of their day.

God the bit with the rose

They were quite shocked to see the crowds in Edinburgh and both had been quite emotional when they realised they crowds were there to see them.

I noticed when it showed the door, they were little kids as door person. 🤔 Awesome film. what times growing up then.

It looks like Stan and Ollie invented the first Beatlemania.

Wonder if there's any films of this but with audio ?. I remember my granddad went to see them at the 'Playhouse' - he was ex-military, no-nonsense type but when he talked about it you could tell he was an avid fan of theirs !!

Oliver Hardy was quite a handsome guy. Had he taken more care of himself i.e. not over weight he could probably have been a leading man in films.

awesome footage thanx

the best.didn't know they played the playhouse.

Such shame that Hal roach was such a vulture always exploiting these amazing men and never paying them as a double because it was cheaper to pay them separately.

Amazing!

Mitici!!!

They were at the height of the powers at this time.

Laurel and Hardy cannot of made much in those days but at least the cost of living was proportionate to the times, I guess? It may sound obvious but thankfully visual moving footage and a way to record it had been created at a time when these two legends were around.. Bearing in mind a large percentage of their humour is visual genius. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about..

Paw X Paw Given how insanely cheap the cost of living was then, what they made back then would be millions now. So they were considered rich back then

Oh how I would have loved to see them on stage

Man i would have to have met them.

these guys were treated like royalty when they went over there!

England's most famous son alongside Cary Grant

The good ole times, it's all gone to hell in a handbasket currently

Can you imagine any modern comedians getting mobbed by fans like that?

Looks like they were popular in Edinburgh!

They where world class

My mum was living in Edinburgh in 1932, she would have been 8 or 9, I wonder if she, or any of her family went to see them, I wish I had asked her, they're all gone now

Greetings from México City ❤️

This looks like it may have been from one of their three post WWII tours. They look much older than they did in 1932.

I didn't know that Stan and Olli were so popular in Europe as early as 1932, thinking that this would only have been the case after their active career.

Such legends

I love it. With a horse escort as well.

As a kid, I laughed till it hurt watching these two

Photobombing (near the end) before it ever existed!
