[edit] Life

Adler was born on January 22, 1884 in Chicago, Illinois. He started out as a vaudeville actor and then became a title writer for Mack Sennett in the early 1920s. Before working for the Three Stooges films, Adler wrote for Laurel and Hardy as well as Abbott and Costello. Adler was a staff writer for the Columbia Pictures Short Subject department, a position he held until its demise in 1957.

A much-loved resident of Hollywood Hills, he was famously sociable, chatting with neighbors at the Beachwood Village Laundry and giving pocket money to local children. His charming storybook house became a popular stop-off for neighbors on their way to and from the Beachwood Market because he would invariably invite them in for a drink.

[edit] Death

Adler died of abdominal cancer at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California on March 25, 1963.

[edit] Notes

As a joke, Adler would sometimes misspell his surname as "Alder" in the credits
In some Three Stooges shorts, there were many things named after Adler such as a box of soap in Baby Sitters Jitters and a liquor store in Nutty But Nice.
The last Three Stooges film featuring Adler's writing was Stop, Look and Laugh, a compilation of previously filmed shorts, released in 1960, just three years before he died. Adler's last original Stooge work was featured in Oil's Well That Ends Well.
