Let's take a trip to the silent film era for this next entry.
Our Gang shorts were distributed through Pathe during the early years, with the series launching in 1922. Joe Cobb and Allen Hoskins are the best known players from this group, appearing in 1926's "Good Cheer", as the kids learn all about Santa while helping capture some thieves at the same time, all during a driving snowstorm.
About the only place you'd find this and the rest of the Our Gang silents that have survived would be on Turner Classic Movies, as the silents weren't in general syndication when ye scribe was growing up in the 60's & 70's.
Rating: A-.
