In 1930 White and his boyhood friend Zion Myers moved to the prestigious Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio.

White and Myers co-directed the Buster Keaton feature Sidewalks of New York, and launched a series of "Goofy Movies," one-reel parodies of silent-era melodramas.

White's approach to directing was rooted in silent comedy, so he made his sound films the same way. He paced the visual action very fast, and coached his actors to gesture broadly and react violently. This emphasis on cartoonish slapstick worked well in the right context, but could become blunt and shocking when stretched too far. White was generally under pressure to finish his productions within a few days, so very often producer White had no inclination to tone down director White, and the outlandishly violent gags stayed in. (Jules White's personal favorite gag, which he used again and again, is probably the one where an actor is stuck in the posterior by a sharp object, and then yells, "Help, help! I'm losing my mind!") Still, moviegoers loved these slam-bang short comedies, and Columbia produced more than 500 of them over a quarter of a century. Columbia closed its comedy-shorts department at the end of 1957. White dabbled in television in the early 1960s but soon retired, saying, "Who needs such a rat race?" Almost 40 percent of Jules White's output stars The Three Stooges; the other films feature such screen favorites as Buster Keaton, Andy Clyde, Harry Langdon, Hugh Herbert, Vera Vague, and El Brendel. To date, only the Stooges and Keaton material has been released to home video. The Three Stooges was an American comedy act in the 20th century. ...
