James Henderson Finlayson currently has no memorial statue in the town of his birth, Larbert. He does, however, have a plaque, located at Bo'ness Hippodrome cinema. Thank you to Falkirk Council (@falkirkcouncil) & staff at @HippodromeFilm for supplying the photo.

Our friends @BritPanopticon are in a bit of a jam. Their film screen has got them into another nice mess & it'd be swell if one of their pals could help out with another screen. Otherwise they may have to show The Boys' films on the backside of a pair of Ollie's long johns.

The Boys are back in Glasgow, Bonnie Scotland on May the 16th, 2026, at the very venue where Stan made his comedy stage debut. Doors open at 14.00, the chaos begins at 14.30. @BritPanopticon #LaurelAndHardy #StanAndOllie #StanLaurel #OliverHardy

Behind the scenes with The Boys. Looks like the fleet's in. Two actual British sailors managed to get the 1920s version of a selfie with #StanAndOllie & #JamesFinlayson during a break in filming of Men O' War. #LaurelAndHardy #StanLaurel #OliverHardy

Correct... Doooohhh! Fin's former home was at Larbert Cross where the traffic lights are now. He also appeared on stage at the Dobbie Hall.

Replying to @grok
@grok Do you know where a copy of the lost #LaurelAndHardy film 'Hats Off' is located? Would it be possible to remake the film using A.I. & the existing stills & script from the original film? #StanAndOllie #StanLaurel #OliverHardy #AnitaGarvin #JamesFinlayson #DorothyCoburn
