Ok, a little Googling seems to have answered my questions about the Laurel
&
Hardy dueling harmonicas scene in "Pick a Star".

First, the reason I never
heard of this movie before is probably because
it's not "really" a Laurel &
Hardy movie.   They just have a couple of
uncredited scenes in the
movie.

Second,  according to IMDB the Laurel & Hardy harmonicas are played by
an
actor named Robert McClung.   Any of you familiar with him?   According
to
a harmonica site for kids called "The Toot
Suite"
http://www.tootsuite.co.uk/crazy-harmonica-2/ , McClung was only 16 when
he
played this Fox Chase!  Sadly, he died at the age of 25.   (What
a
coincidence that Jason Ricci's Fox Chase is a topic of discussion on
Harp-L
recently!)
