 FACT: When the Stooges first arrive at Columbia, a sound man shows  them a sort of "magic box" on which he can push buttons to create  sound effects for their act. He calls them "Foley effects". In fact  Foley recording is the technique of recording sound effects live and  in real time while screening the picture, and although sound man  Jack Foley (I) (qv) was already beginning to develop this  technique over at Universal, it was not yet known by his name.
