Crossover with other stars

[cuzzoni]

TCM showed some great Charly Chase shorts earlier this month, and I watched Fraidy Cat, and was suprised to see my favorite Little Rascal, Joe Cobb.

What are some other "cross-over" shorts or feature films where the Rascals appear?

Thanks,
CB

Fraidy cat is a good one. I have it on 16mm Have you watched "The Stolen Jools?"

Mary Kornman is in the 1925 Charley Chase short "Isn't Life Terrible?", but I have not seen it. A 16mm print just sold on Ebay for a pretty high price.

There are LOTS of crossovers I can't name them all...

There's Darla Hood playing the lead role in Laurel and Hardy's "The Bohemian Girl", we see Mickey Daniels in one of the Harold Lloyd silents "Dr. Jack", Darla was in "Neighborhood House" with Charley Chase... that's all I can think of.

EDIT: I saw Alfalfa in "Life Hesitates at 40", another one of Chase's shorts. He must have loved the gang.

Alfalfa also appears in It's a Wonderful Life as a guy that George Bailey cuts in on during the dance. He is the guy that flips the switch that opens the basketball court floor to reveal a swimming pool.

Alfalfa also appeared in the Charley Chase short"Southern Exposure".
Butch,Stymie and Spanky appeared in the Chase short"The Cracked Iceman".
Butch appeared in the Laurel & Hardy feature"BlockHeads".

Mary Kornman and Mickey Daniels were in the 1924 Stan Laurel short "Short Kilts."

In addition to the aforementioned Mickey Daniels, "Dr. Jack" also had Jackie Condon in it. And in addition to the three already named in "The Cracked Iceman" is Tommy McFarland. Another film that belongs on the list is "The Battling Orioles" starring Glenn Tryon, which had Daniels, Condon, Morrison and Cobb in one scene. There's also "45 Minutes From Hollywood," which shows a bit of "Thundering Fleas" at one point, and the Boy Friends short "Too Many Women," which shows scenes from "Ask Grandma" and (presumably) "High Society." There's also "Babes In Toyland," which has many Our Gang kids in it, but most of the ones that are identifiable are peripheral kids. Jerry Tucker is easily seen. Scotty Beckett appears in the film, but I haven't actually spotted him in it. And don't forget the Eddie Cantor feature "Kid Millions," which has a bunch of the 1934-era gang members (but not Spanky or Scotty).

Many of the kids had parts in many other pictures. I've been attempting to keep track for a long time. If anyone has a particular Gangster in mind, just say the word! My list consists of feature films mainly.

[sidewayscap]

Spanky was in a Thelma Todd picture...let me think... I'll post the name in a while.

Alfalfa also appeared in Bob Hope's movie"My Favourite Blonde".
Stymie had a guest appearance in the 1970s TV sitcom"Good Times".

[zootmoney]

Stymie also appeared as Redd Foxx's friend "Otis" in a few Sanford and Son episodes.

I just got a chance to see Charley Chase's "Isn't Life Terrible?," but I do not see Mary Kornman in it. I read that it wasn't complete, but I doubt if there is much footage missing.

[zootmoney]

Joe Cobb is also in the 1924 Charley Chase short, "Young Oldfield." His entire part consists of a couple of shots of him sneezing.

Joe Cobb also appeared at the very beginning of a Harold Lloyd comedy from the same year"Girl Shy".This same film also had bit parts from Jackie Condon and Mickey Daniels.
