Being a fan of both Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello, I first became familiar with Mary Boland through her roles in One Night in the Tropics (1940) and Nothing but Trouble (1944). I later learned how great of a career she had in both comedies and dramas and both supporting and starring roles. Some of her other films include The Prodigal Wife (1918), Evenings for Sale (1932), Three-Cornered Moon (1933), Six of a Kind (1934), Ruggles of Red Gap (1935), The Big Broadcast of 1936 (1935), A Son Comes Home (1936), The Women (1939) and Pride and Prejudice (1940).
The following is a 1934 article from Picture Play Magazine about this wonderful actress. If you have any trouble reading the article click on the following pages and use your touch screen to zoom in.
Here are the trailers for the two movies that first made me aware of Mary Boland.
