Moe Howard's handwritten skit with Shemp and Larry. (ca. 1940s-1950s) Vintage original 10-page handwritten comedy skit on 8 x 12.5 in. lined legal paper titled, "Kildare, Kinsey & Malone". In the skit, Moe, Shemp and Larry pose as doctors delivering a series of puns and wisecracks. This may have been a stage routine, as the three are the sole characters represented and the patter, setups and punchlines are reminiscent of live comedy team writing. With writing on verso of 2-pages as well. Exhibiting age, wear, handling and some soiling. In vintage very good to fine condition. Provenance: From the estate of Moe Howard.
