In 1934, the trio—now officially named "The Three Stooges"—signed on to appear in two-reel comedy short subjects for Columbia Pictures. Moe wrote in his autobiography that they each received $600 per week (equal to $ today) on a one-year contract with a renewable option; in the Ted Okuda–Edward Watz book "The Columbia Comedy Shorts", the Stooges are said to have received $1,000 among them for their first Columbia effort, "Woman Haters" (1934), and then signed a term contract for $7,500 per film (equal to $ today), to be divided among the trio.
