- During the August studio closure during this year, Mickey travelled with his parents to Rock Springs, WY, where he was born. On his way back to Los Angeles,
he stayed for three days in Ogden, UT, at the behest of the manager of the Egypian Theatre there. He arrived on Aug. 24th, and performed at the theater that night
and again on the 25th and 26th. He visited an industrial school on the 25th, and judged a freckle contest at the Egyptian on the 26th. He departed the
city on the 27th. His act chiefly consisted of him talking about his experiences making the Our Gang films, which were also shown as part of these
performances.

short film preceded their actual stage performance, with the rest of the act consisting of the two kids imitating popular film stars. They toured the Orpheum

Mickey Daniels' payroll history
The following is a list of Mickey's history at the Roach studio, with the amounts he was making from week to week. The dates given are
Saturdays, the last day of each week at the studio. The only exceptions would be Saturdays that were also holidays, in which case the Friday date is used
for those weeks. His name in the ledgers is always given as Richard Daniels.
Special note: Production A9 (The Champeen!), Production A38 (Ask Grandma), and Production K3 (One Wild
Ride) are missing from this list. It appears that in each case, they started off as the previous production, which then got divided into two
films.
- Jan. 21, 1922 - 7.50 for A1 (Our Gang)
As a day player, Mickey worked for one day during this week.
- Feb. 4, 1922 - 7.50 for A1
Two weeks later, Mickey worked a second day on this production.
It would be nearly 4 months before Mickey was put under long-term contract, during which he appeared in Young Sherlocks. Prior to the fall of
1922, the ledgers are sketchy when it comes to day players, and his name doesn't come up during the making of this film. It's also conceivable that
he worked on Our Gang for more than the two days listed above. This makes me wonder if perhaps the studio was in the habit of paying cash to certain
people in its early days. The checks earned by Mickey were made payable to Richard Daniels, which could mean either father or son, but half of the
amount was meant for the father.

Note: this may be a clerical error and meant to say K9 (or perhaps I copied it incorrectly). The fact that Mickey was making
vacation pay implies that he wasn't working during this week, anyway.
Mickey went off to work in vaudeville after departing the Our Gang series, but he did return for one week at the Roach studio two and a half years after
he left.
- Dec. 22, 1928 - 125.00 for S20 (Thundering Toupees)
Mickey returned again to the Roach studio in 1930 to make the Boy Friends series and stayed for two years I didn't copy the payroll info for any
of the non-Our Gang players, but there is a note I wrote for the week ending June 20, 1931, that states that Mickey was making $100 a
week during this period.
- Oct. 22, 1932 - 120.00 for G13 (Fish Hooky)
Mickey was a day player on this film, making $20 a day for the entire week.
Once again we have another gap in the records, until 1936.
- Dec. 12, 1936 - 106.25 for K5 (Reunion In Rhythm)
Mickey was again a day player, earning $50 a day for two days on Dec. 9th and 10th. He also received an overtime check on the 10th.
