The Stolen Jools (1931) is a short comedy film produced by the Masquers Club of Hollywood, featuring many cameo appearances by the film stars of the day. The stars appeared in the film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, to raise funds for the National Variety Artists Tuberculosis Sanitarium. The UCLA Film and Television Archive entry for this film says -- as do the credits -- that the film was co-sponsored by Chesterfield cigarettes to support the fine work of the NVA sanitarium. When the film was shown in theaters in 1931, a person would appear after the film to ask the audience for donations. Because the film was made for charity, it has an unusually large cast of actors from different studios, such as Warner Brothers, RKO Radio Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures, and Hal Roach Studios. At the Screen Stars Annual Ball, Norma Shearer has her jewels stolen. The police must find them and return them to her. Cast: At the Police Station Wallace Beery Buster Keaton Jack Hill J.
