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!)
