What is the main purpose of the Sons of the Desert organization?
The Sons have been involved with various charitable and archival causes over the years. The main purpose, however, is best described in Article XI of the Sons constitution, written by John McCabe: Article XI: It is hoped, and seriously, that the Sons of the Desert, in the strong desire to perpetuate the spirit and genius of Laurel and Hardy, will conduct activities ultimately and always devoted to the preservation of their films and the encouragement of their showing everywhere.
