45 Minutes From Hollywood (1926) is a two reel silent film released by Pathé Exchange. At the time, it was known as a Glenn Tryon vehicle, but today it's best remembered as the second instance of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy appearing in the same film together -- although they do not share any scenes -- at least half a decade after their first chance billing in The Lucky Dog (1921). Via use of left over footage from "Madame Mystery" it also happens to be the last screen appearance of silent film vamp Theda Bara. Stan appears in bed in his only scene. He's wearing a night cap, nightgown and a large comedy moustache. Jimmy Finlayson appears looking like this in several later Laurel and Hardy films. Oliver also features a similar moustache. Laurel's name doesn't appear in the credits for this film, but Hardy's name does. less
