“Who in hell are the Sons of the Desert?” Hilary Quayle asked. “We’re an organization devoted to Laurel and Hardy films. Sons of the Desert is the name of one of the best of the Laurel and Hardy feature films.” But what Hilary Quayle’s secretary, Gene, didn’t tell her was that women were not permitted to join the organization.
