Larry Fine


Larry Fine was born Louis Fienberg on October 5, 1902 on the south side of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father, Joseph Fienberg, and mother Fanny Lieberman, owned a watch repair and jewelry shop. Larry had two brothers, Morris, a younger brother Phillip who died prematurely, and a sister, Lila, who became a school teacher.

As a child, Larry's left arm was badly burned from acid used by his father in the jewelry business. Larry required immediate attention, and a skin graft was done on his arm. Larry's doctors recommended that he be given violin lessons as a form of therapy. Playing the violin was supposed to strengthen his damaged arm muscles. Larry's skill as a violinist became so impressive that eventually he began to play professionally. Larry played in local theater amateur nights usually taking top prize

Interestingly enough, along with being a violin player he also was a boxer. Larry earned money as a light weight fighter. Later on he would develop an act in which he would do a Russian dance while playing the violin. It was this act that caught the attention of Ted Healy. After Shemp decided to leave Ted Healy's act, Moe suggested that perhaps Larry could replace Shemp. The trio, Moe, Larry, and Shemp first appeared on Broadway in A Night in Venice. Larry also appeared in The Stooges first full length motion picture, "Soup to Nuts," in 1930 for 20th Century Fox. Of course, Larry went on with Moe and Curly to form The Three Stooges, who appeared in the Columbia shorts beginning in 1934.

Larry and his wife, Mable, lived in hotels, first in the President Hotel in Atlantic City, where his daughter Phyllis was raised, then the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood. Later Larry bought an old Mediterranean style house in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. Larry had two children. His son, Johnny died in a tragic automobile accident on November 17, 1961 at age 24. Larry also had a daughter, Phyllis. Larry's wife, Mabel, died on May 30, 1967. Larry has five grandchildren, Christy Lynn Clark, John Fine, Jr., Phyllis Miller, Kris Cutler, and Eric Lamond.

After 1958, Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe performed before live audiences all across the country, appeared in six full length motion pictures, appeared on numerous television shows, and performed in other productions until Larry Fine suffered a stroke during the filming of "Kook's Tour" in 1970. After his stroke Larry never performed again. Larry Fine passed away on January 24, 1975.




The cache is a camo painted recycled 18 oz. PB jar with plenty of room for trackables and trade items.

Please, be sure to rehide the Cache as well or better than you found it.

The cache has no pen or pencil so ..........

Yeah, ATE and I had a hard time with this little stooge. Had us running around and getting frustrated as heck. Which seems apt; I never liked Larry all that much. However, I was fascinated to read he'd been a violinist! That was cool! Thanks for the series!

Darn, only a 1.5 for this one? This one took us the longest in the series. Our gps' jumped around and had us wandering in circles. Finally we spotted a likely spot and it was there. TFTC!

After searching for the right approach we finally got to GZ. Really liked the hide on this one. Wanted to get some of the Little Beaver caches, but one GPS died and the other didn't have that series loaded ... . Well, we'll have to come back for Killer B anyways ... TNLNSL TFTC (#2259).

Met the Barbarian here to pick up my sunglasses I left at Moe the other day; enjoyed the bonus of going to this cache with owner. Always makes caching life easier and he even went back for my phone which I had thoughtfully left near this cache. Yikes!! What is going on? Oh well, nice walk, nice talk and nice little series. Three down, three to go. Thanks x 3.
