Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in Hollywood

Lou (Costello) fleeing security (Edgar Dearing) at "Mammoth" studios as the big cameos begin, Lucille Ball, Preston Foster and Robert Z. Leonard his first victims, then Bud (Abbott) in costume as another cop, and another gag, in Abott And Costello In Hollywood, 1945.

The first scene is for MGM P-R and starlet Jean Porter as "Ruthie," Katharine Booth her enemy in the shop and Chester Clute their boss, then the boys Bud and Lou in one of their better opening bits, in their first film for MGM, Abbott And Costello In Hollywood, 1945.
