A few things give me cause to question the June 1935 date. Wally Albright and Tommy Bond were no longer part of the 'Our Gang' series by that time, and it wasn't their Farewell Birthday Party. Also, to my eyes, Spanky looks a bit too young for this to be a mid 1935 photo. Having checked the release dates for Jackie Lynn Taylor's final 'Our Gang' appearances (SHRIMPS FOR A DAY was released in December, 1934), and allowing for earlier shooting dates, I'm thinking this photo could be from June 1934, despite her recollection of it being from 1935. Any thoughts? CHEERS! I think Jackie implied that it was her farewell birthday party - as in shortly before she left the Gang. That still wouldn't accurate, as she left after Wally and Tommy. So yeah, she may have been 'mis-remembering' things! Slightly OT, but there's some debate over whether or not MAMA'S LITTLE PIRATE and SHRIMPS FOR A DAY were indeed 1934 releases, as both bear 1935 copyright dates. Sorry to get super-nerdy again.

I don't generally read too much into the copyright dates, as I've often seen that sort of thing over the years. Unless any compelling documentation that strongly indicates otherwise comes forward, I'm inclined to defer to Leonard Maltin and Richard W. Bann's THE LITTLE RASCALS: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF OUR GANG tomb where original release dates are concerned. CHEERS!

This photo is another favorite of mine, when Johnny Downs visited the studio during filming of "Washee Ironee" (1934) and posed with some of the kids. ![](http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k467/Muirmaiden/scottyourgangjohnnydowns8835e67762929eed609e5b80c72a0997_zpswqnqens8.jpg) I apologize for the poor quality. Not sure where Spanky was!

Not sure where Spanky was! This was while Johnny was shooting "Babes in Toyland" elsewhere on the Roach lot. He's still in his Little Boy Blue costume! The Gang on the set of the lost film "Yale Vs.

To be honest, I didn't know Darla ever wore a beanie in the series. Still, I think it is the best artwork of Darla I have ever seen other than the 1982 version. This is my #1 favorite poster of all time.

Hey, this should be my fiftieth post. What a number. That means I should share... 13 favorite photos. Unless I've miscounted. Then I feel like a doofus. Maybe I've repeated some, but I also looked through each page to check for the arcade cards, so I'll never know. ![](http://36.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr43jelWR51r1ghovo1_500.jpg) Half of these kiddos are in my top three favorites (Wheezer and Dorothy), though Stymie doesn't fall very far behind, and neither does Shirley. ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq5mqjmo5U1r1ghovo1_500.jpg) Mary Kornman is very cute. Definitely another favorite, as much as I love and appreciate all the kids that appeared in the shorts. ![](http://36.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrg584aWHJ1r1ghovo1_1280.jpg) First of all, I love what everyone is wearing -- it's quite adorable! -- not to mention everyone truly does look quite charming. ![](https://36.media.tumblr.com/96f576451ffa7f7a762aeaccc3ced649/tumblr_o2gdleNPki1qg8r34o1_540.jpg) Mary Ann and Wheezer share a kiss on the beach. This is so innocently adorable. ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m85honFmIo1r1ghovo1_1280.jpg) There's that terrifying Wheezer smile. ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/507321c331fc27dfa64d2159cb86b792/tumblr_nmiixljUsB1upgoydo2_400.jpg) Very cute. I'm a big fan of Jackie Condon. Darn these cute kids. This card is on eBay, and I'd probably try and purchase it, if it didn't total to over $50. ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/5ef33b07ff348f783ae831f65b1eee96/tumblr_nmiixljUsB1upgoydo1_400.jpg) Another cute arcade card featuring Jackie Condon. One of these on eBay is only $30... I might have to grab it. ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/6c0d9937aec127e13bf8da73b03dd6bb/tumblr_nln8m8TyFN1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) This goof's birthday was on the 25th of March. ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/53e90932d281b7c39511c073962d3f12/tumblr_nogpgz3OAw1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) Spanky, Stymie, and Tommy. Spanky looks very cute. I reckon I'll be saying this for every picture I'm fond of. ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/02aa9543db92b3e8504366c6fd13bbfd/tumblr_nn18635ocF1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) Shrimps For A Day! Scotty and Spanky (and Marianne Edwards, if I'm not mistaken) look very... lovely in their attire. ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/9f9f8deee3e75fa74049aef7d5609c25/tumblr_nnpw2bZolz1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) Dorothy is wearing a rather cute dress. What am I even supposed to say, anymore? Very cute. Dorothy, Wheezer, and Stymie. Cute. ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/0f767c602d2ec3d7a99559645c786f46/tumblr_nmad2stEDo1upgoydo1_500.jpg) Wheezer is the main reason I'm a fan of this photo. ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/21210c4cc2cc49c1978b1bb1a9332446/tumblr_nmaj4c3NYf1upgoydo1_500.jpg) I'm totally exhausted of looking for pictures, now. Nonetheless, I really love this picture of Tommy.

Scooter looks very cute. ![](http://36.media.tumblr.com/f72e55b8d4be64072a3fab4e257c3bff/tumblr_np3fotqVUp1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) This has become one of my favorite photos. I'm not quite sure why, but I like it a lot. ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/e6103a142a8799f18824f7b99f5a6520/tumblr_nnpwcz5txS1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) This was a publicity still for Little Mother. Oh, Wheezer. ![](http://41.media.tumblr.com/08c397bf8ab684e9ca15c0128161359f/tumblr_nnq68luHmS1upgoydo1_1280.jpg) I know another member mentioned this photo, but I'm not sure if it's ever been posted. It's very, very cute, though! ![](http://40.media.tumblr.com/9529cb3ed6a370858fc3353fc5d9fe39/tumblr_nlwbi6ethU1upgoydo1_500.jpg) Everyone looks genuinely happy. What a nice reason to call this picture adorable.
