_Billy Gilbert (1943-1944)
_
Billy Gilbert was no stranger to short-subjects having appeared in scores of two-reel comedies for Hal Roach, Educational and RKO.
In the 1930's, Gilbert appeared in a few Columbia shorts supporting fellow comics like The 3 Stooges and Harry Langdon, but it wasn't until the early 1940's that Columbia signed him to headline his own series of shorts.
The Billy Gilbert series was syndicated by Screen Gems Television in 1959.
PLEASE NOTE: Available titles will be in ITALICS and UNDERLINED
If a title is not in ITALICS and UNDERLINED....I do not have it in my collection.
