I don't recall the title of the first short we made, that was over 30 years ago—we made over 200 films, so it's difficult to remember…I have a few of the L&H scripts, but they are packed away & in storage—I doubt if they would be of use to anyone, as they were only rough outlines of story ideas & without dialogue—gags or routines, so they would be of no value for stage presentation."
