ROARING ROADS

A



Former Our Gang kids Mickey Daniels, David Sharpe, Gertrude Messinger, and Mary Kornman in a different series at a different studio. In between, they'd had a series at the Hal Roach studio called "The Boy Friends". And Thelma Todd was in one film in that series, LOVE FEVER.

 Although there is a June Marlowe in this film ( she is even called June Marlowe ) she isn't the one that played "Miss Crabtree" in Our Gang comedies.
