Felix Adler (screenwriter)

Adler was born on January 22, 1884, in Chicago, Illinois. He started as a vaudeville actor and then became a title writer for Mack Sennett silents in the early 1920s, easing into talkies with three Harold Lloyd features and as a staff writer for the Columbia Pictures Short Subject department, a position he held until its demise in 1957. While the vast majority of Adler's writing credits were for Sennett and Three Stooges short subjects, Adler co-wrote six features for Laurel and Hardy and two for Abbott and Costello. A resident of Hollywood Hills, he was sociable, chatting with neighbors at the Beachwood Village Laundry and giving pocket money to local children. His house became a stop-off for neighbors on their way to and from the Beachwood Market because he would invariably invite them in for a refreshment. ==Death==

Adler died of abdominal cancer at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California, on March 25, 1963. He was 79. Adler was cremated; his ashes are interred at the Chapel of the Pines Crematory in Los Angeles, with services privately held by his family. ==Filmography==
