The screen comedy team of Laurel and Hardy was split today when Hal Roach Studios served notice upon Stan Laurel that he was guilty of a breach of contract.
Mr. Laurel was accused of refusing to return to the studio for retakes on the team’s current comedy, “Blockheads.” His attorney denied the accusation and said the studio had given Mr. Laurel permission to leave the city.
It was reported Mr. Laure might be replaced by Harry Langdon, comedian of the silent screen.
