Berth Marks (1929) | Laurel & Hardy’s Second Sound Comedy Short

All aboard for laughter with Laurel & Hardy in Berth Marks (1929), their second-ever talking picture! On their way to a gig in Pottsville, Stan and Ollie’s journey aboard a sleeper train spirals into pandemonium: lost instruments, ripped clothes, cabin mix-ups, and one hilariously frustrated conductor.

This Hal Roach short, released on June 1, 1929, blends vintage slapstick with early sound gags — capturing the duo just as they were transitioning into talkies. A must-watch piece of comedy history!
