Summary:
Noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way, while child actors are often groomed to imitate adult acting styles, steal scenes, or deliver 'cute' performances, Hal Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the unaffected, raw nuances apparent in regular kids. Includes ten Hal Roach talking shorts spanning from 1929 -1930.
