Hurrah for the Holidays
Here’s a rarity — the sixth episode of Hal Roach’s “Our Gang” comedy series from 1922. Roach initially produced the series at his own studio, but “Our Gang” really took off after MGM became involved in 1927. All told, 220 “Our Gang” shorts were created over a 22-year-span between 1922 and 1944, and 41 different child actors starred. Roach broke ground, not only by showcasing the antics of poor children, but also by casting both whites and blacks, and showing them living in close proximity and relative harmony. H/T Unknown Cinema
