You're probably right (officially) concerning "Ted Healy & 'HIS' Three Stooges" as opposed to 'THE,'  as Healy was a dipsomaniacal egotist. As far as the public goes I've heard many refer to them as I've listed them. Of course there is no Beatles' White Album, by name, though I've heard McCartney refer to it as such. The album is: "The Beatles." Kenneth Anger: a charlatan, a pervert, a no-talent...even worse, & more so, than John Waters, if that's possible. — Theses days one may just as easily substitute Kenyan Obama for ****** and the dead bodies of  W.W.II-era Europeans for the dead bodies of today's Arabs & Middle Easterners. What's a "world leader" as opposed to a "leader"? "Dodging the Towers" has been incorporated into the Firemen's Training Manual. [“Nothing here but the present,/Nothing behind but the past,/Nothing ahead but the future,/My gosh, how long will it last?” — Unknown]
