The 1934 Columbia short Roast-Beef and Movies holds a unique place in film history as the only solo appearance of Jerry "Curly" Howard, the beloved comedic genius of the Three Stooges. In this early short, Curly plays a bumbling waiter who dreams of Hollywood stardom, showcasing his singular comedic timing, physical humor, and whimsical personality long before he became synonymous with the Stooges’ brand of slapstick. 
While the short predates his iconic tenure with Moe and Larry, it offers a rare glimpse of Curly’s comedic prowess in a standalone context.   As a standalone work, it provides a fascinating glimpse into Curly's comedic talent in its raw form, making it a treasured piece for Stooge enthusiasts and film historians alike.
Adding to its mystique is the extreme rarity of original vintage movie paper from the film. Apart from a single one-sheet poster that surfaced nearly 30 years ago, no other promotional material from Roast-Beef and Movies is known to exist.  Even the nation’s largest memorabilia auction house has never handled any items from this elusive title, making it a true grail for collectors and a poignant reminder of Curly’s singular contribution to early screen comedy.  The photo we offer here is the Only Original Type 1 photo known to exist.
