ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION, THE

Air Date/Released Tuesday, January 31, 1961
Station/Studio Public Service Commercial
Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly Joe

In this one-minute public service announcement, Moe and Larry begin as a couple of con men trying to sell phony arthritis cures to Curly Joe. Breaking character to be themselves, Moe makes a plea to viewers to support medical research, for real cures of arthritis and rheumatism, with donations to The Arthritis Foundation.


In costume on the set of SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES (1961), circa January, the Stooges posed for a photograph promoting "Stop Arthritis." It is assumed this filmed PSA is connected to that, and this listed air date is estimated accordingly.

Cast: Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe DeRita
