Was this the inspiration for Monty Python?: Self-Made Maids (1950)

 The answer to that rhetorical question, of course, is no. The Monty Python troupe gained inspiration from Shakespearean theatre, where men playing female parts was very common.

In 1950's "Self-Made Maids", The Three Stooges play all the primary parts, thanks to some clever trick photography.

The gimmick of the Stooges playing their own children had been done before, and would be done again. They would repeat the tactic of playing all the main parts 8 years later in "Oil's Well That Ends Well" (with Joe Besser).
